Home Projects

The weather is cold again and the snow is falling.  We are trying to stay happy and busy in the house here are a few things we have been doing.

Edwin finished his quilt.

I think it's lovely and I can't wait to make some pillow shams to match.

I've been making baby blankets for charities, bibs for gifts, and these adorable diapers for the girls' dolls.

The kids have been home sick a whole lot lately.  Many days have been spent on the sofa with drippy noses, coughs, and high fevers.  I'm sure looking forward to spring and good health.

Grace and Anne have been busy on the Barbie house.  We have a few final touches and then I think it will be complete...stay tooned.

Snow Days

A few outdoor activities we enjoy when the weather is above zero.

Who said parks were only for warm weather.  A swing is a swing any time of year!

Edwin is modeling the girls' hat while shoveling.  Grandma knitted them for the kids last year and everyone has worn it this winter!

My neighbor Paul came over after we received about 18" of snow overnight.  Edwin was at the hospital for the night and couldn't get home.  I was going to wait until James's naptime to tackle this project, but the neighbor got it done first.  What a guy.  I think he did everyone's sidewalk and driveway that morning.

The snow drift we found next door.

Edwin dug out a snow cave for the kids.
