My first sewing project...

My dear friend made me this amazing wallet!!! Which I LOVE!!!!!!!!!! After seeing something so cool made with a sewing machine I decided enough was enough I needed to learn to sew! My Mother-in-law has already given me several sewing lessons and her old sewing machine so I was ready...I just needed to be inspired by such greatness as this wallet. (Don't get excited I did not make a wallet nor will I ever be able to...that is beyond me...far beyond me!) Thanks Corrine for being my inspiration!!!

THIS IS NOT MY FIRST SEWING PROJECT...

THIS IS!!!!!!!!

My sister told me she wanted something to put diapers in for the nursery on Sundays so I told her I would make that my first sewing project! (Thanks for the inspiration Donette!) Don't look too closely because it's not perfect but here it is. This is for my nephew Jonny who LOVES baseball!

Supper...

This is how Jack usually eats supper with us...

This is what usually happens (sorry about the pic. quality)...

So now this is where Jack gets to sit!!! Yeah Jack!! You're so big!!!

This is Josiah sitting by his brother trying to practice showing his teeth to smile...we have a ways to go before we get those 2 year old pictures...

And this is Josiah using his brother's supper entertainment for his own entertainment...

Me and my brother...

Nothing like a few friends to help you start your day...

You can't see them all but these are all the "Friends" that sleep with Josiah every night and on some mornings get up with him. (I think there is about 7 in all).

Pippen and me

I went to a near by family run Apple Orchard this week and they had a dog named Pippen that Josiah adored! He played with him the whole time I picked apples! The owner's sister took some pictures for me and sent them my way. My poor boy...he needs a dog!

Hello!

He's not even a year old and he's already putting his foot in his mouth and several times a day at that and I love it!

(I especially love it because we never saw Josiah do this...poor guy, his legs were just too short!)

Jack went to the doctor this past week for his 4 month check up and he is in the 97% for his height and 75% for weight. Let's just say this...Josiah was exactly this height and weight at 6 months! WOW!

Hello from big brother Josiah!

A visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa's house

We headed up to Manitowoc for the day last week. Addison was out our house so she tagged along with us much to Grandpa Lenz's delight! (He loves Addison!)

They had a great time riding their bikes!

Labor Day weekend

For Labor Day we went with Grandpa and Grandma Lenz to a hotel in Indianapolis to meet up with Hiller and Clint! It was a great relaxing weekend! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Next time we see these two they will have two boys with them! We can't wait!!!

Jack taking advantage of the only time he will be able to stand on top of Avery and Rory!

My Cracker Jack...
