October 2014 - Part 3

Melody is really loving to explore and play.

I finally finished this cross stitch that I started September 2009!! It took me over 5 years to complete.

Last year Mara fell down and had to get stitches. Here is what her scar looks like a year later.

The kids love making towers for Melody to knock down, and this time 

she really wanted the stuffed dog on top.

Melody is FINALLY getting more teeth, at 11 months old her top two are coming in.

Just a fun trip to Costco.

Mara painted this picture at school when they were learning about pointillism. 

She chose a paper with an outline and painted it how she wanted. 

This is like a painting by Georges Seurat that I love! 

So I put this in a frame and it's hanging on the wall.

We had a friends get together at our house with spouses and kids.  

It was great for all these guys to be together again.  

Crazy that it's been 15 years since we graduated high school.

Jaina has started being a big helper when it comes to Melody and 

this day she really wanted to help feed her lunch.

I have had this fabric for at least 3-5 years with the intention of making Thanksgiving place mats with turkeys on them. Well, we never use place mats and I really wanted to make a quilt. So I looked up some patterns on Pinterest and made this Disappearing 9 Patch quilt. It only took me a few days to get the top done and I love how it turned out. I had enough fabric to make a table runner too!
