My Budding Photographers

The girls wanted to take some pictures after I took some of William.

These are by Emily:




















And these are by Sarah:

Oatmeal

I was trying to feed William his cereal and he kept wanting to grab the spoon. Finally, I just let him have it. Then I tried to put more food on it for him and he didn't want to part with it. But after a few times of me taking it, putting more food on it, and giving it back to him, he willingly gave me the spoon when I reached for it.

Breakfast Food Playland

We let the kids play in the play area at the mall. It was full of squishy breakfast themed play items.

Quick Tatted Heart

The West Michigan Lace Group is having their motif exchange tonight. I remembered partway through my sock project, so I sat down on Friday to try and design something. This is what I came up with....
(I'm not very happy with the top of the heart. I may alter it a little and make the chains coming from the outside of the heart to the inside longer and join them to the chains with the joined rings in the center)



Anyway, the pattern:

Tie & Cut

Tatted Cross

I made my traditional graduation gift for our church's only senior, a tatted cross bookmark.

William's First Cookie

Dan was eating chocolate covered cookies and held one out to William. Will grabbed it and shoved it in his mouth.

Orange Drink Anyone?

Emily wanted some orange drink, so I poured her a cup. Later I went into the room they were in, and I saw that Will had an orange wet spot on his shirt. I asked Emily if she had given William her juice. She said, Uh huh"!





His pants were completely wet, too!


















Here is the empty cup. Thankfully, it wasn't totally full!
