THE SWEATER!!!!

Wow I can't believe I knit my first sweater! I am so pleased with how well it came out. The pattern was so great and simple to follow. With 5 little ones running around I need simple, or it doesn't get done. Sorry the pictures aren't so good (need a new camera). I was able to find some lovely buttons to go with it they are clay with sail boats on them. I was so glad to find them. While making the sweater I said to one of my sisters doesn't the color remind you of the sea! So the sail boats were a must. Isn't Dag so cute! The sweater makes him so iresistable to being held and held and held!

But then again he is 11 months so the holding only lasts so long ( they grow to fast).

It took me just a week, friday to friday. The rest of the kids want one. So here I go knit, knit, knit!!! I will share pictures as they happen.

Oh Where to start....

I guess our new front door is a good place to start!


So much has happened since I last had the chance to journal here. Just a few of the things in our crazy summer...my wonderful sister-in-law got married Yahoo. It was a great and beautiful and fun and very love filled day. I do have pictures to post from that blessed day, but with the earlier then expected move some things got misplaced (not surprising).
In short God has greatly blessed us in many more ways then we could ever have thought possible. But then again it our thoughts and minds are so limited compared to His.
For those who are wondering we know live in BEAUTIFUL Eliot Maine. I love it sheep next door sheep down the street......to be continued soon I hopE....

Home again! Home again!

Home at last! Aaahhh. Fresh air. The comforts of home we have been home about an hour and we already have laundry going, baby in a cloth diaper, bread going in the bread maker. Oh how I love being home.
Will post pics later of our trip to and from Chicago for sis-in -law's wedding it was so lovely and full of Mennonite tradition. The dancing oh the dancing!.....

A Weekend Away! PART 2 Aliens?

Sand Circles!!!

Is this the work of aliens?

It was a joy to spend some long awaited time at the beach.

We all miss living by the ocean.

Who knows maybe we will again some day, till then we'll keep a shell in our pocket.

I hope you enjoy the laughter as much as we did!

Dallas My hero!

The many sides of Dallas!

Holding an angora bunny (notice his light saber still in sight)

my Caring Defender

Here he has gotten them all ( minus Dag too small to hold a hammer) together to build a "porch"! I just love to see a good Leader in the making.

Our Joker he is always good for a laugh!!! and a smile :)

He also loves to learn and think about almost anything.

And this, the part that still needs love and constant patience.

My challenging "fence sitter". I am very excited to see the strong and determined man he will become.

I pray daily that God will guide us as his parents to show him to look to God in all he does.
God Bless you Dallas!
