THE dress











(I have not proofed these photos but HAD to post them)
With that here is the dress, well collar that I smocked. The red velvet dress is from when I was a little girl. The collar took several hours and I enjoyed making it for her. I did most of the work at my parents farm. I am so thankful I can make these heirlooms for my precious little girl.
I better head to bed.

Princess Meri


So Merideth came out of her room with this on her head. She said, "Mommy I am a princess." It reminded me of when my sister and I would dress up like Mary and Joseph.

...remodel...









So here is the almost finished product. All we lack is finishing, as my Daddy would say! Also cleaning up the stuff, putting up tools and you know just finishing. Our plan is to list soon. So with that we need to CLEAN, SORT and get it done!
More later!

Christmas Past

This photo was taken last year while we were on a cruise. We had so much fun with the kids. Stephen had just returned from a 6 month deployment and we decided to get away as a family. We really love to cruise and look forward to going again, hopefully soon!
Dale had just turned 5 and Merideth was 2 and a half. They are certainly growing up too fast!
We are busy getting the house ready for market and just getting ready for all the little things that go on with a move. We are planning, right now, to move early May. Stephen's class starts June 8.
I better go teach!
