Plans

Wow! I came here to post, but then realized I hadn't added any new pictures since I last posted, a month ago! Goodness. 

Anyway, I guess I'll be catching up again... As always. Hey, I'm a mom. Life is often hectic. OK, let's see what we have here. 

First, I went on to Google Maps and "drove" down a road in South Dakota until I came across this scene. I have plans of drawing this some day. 

Then I searched Google for old fashioned dresses to give me ideas for a dress I have been wanting to make Taliya. 

This one is probably closest to what I have imagined. 

I plan to take tidbits from the various dresses and make it into one for Taliya. I have bought the fabric and other things I need. I dyed most of it with walnut and a strip with black tea. I bought a pattern, but it looks really tedious. Anyway, I have other projects I need to finish up before I get to work on a new one. 

Judah's First Trip to the Creek

Picnic by the water

The water was so clear yesterday. 

I don't think he was a fan of the cold water on his toes. 

It was a lovely evening. 

I had fun capturing these pictures of the kids splashing. 

I also had fun collecting a wildflower bouquet. 

A bonus picture of Judah looking cute today. 

I sure hope he grows to love the creek as much as the rest of us do. 

Wow! I'm actually caught up for once. : )

We'll see how long that lasts. 

Have a good afternoon.

NC for Lydia's Wedding

The sunrise on our journey there. 

It's fun showing my kids the place I grew up in. 

Taliya and Ollie. 

Micah, Jacob, and Quinn. 

I've always loved these poplar trees, so I had to take a classic photo of them. 

Enjoying shakes at Cookout with the siblings and cousins.  

Jacob is great with kids, and kids tend to like him. 

Post wedding tacos. Awkwardly, I didn't get any pictures of Lydia or the wedding. Maybe she will send some to us later whenever she gets them herself. 

I always love the late nights talking with my siblings. 

Priscilla took a family picture.
