A few things I am working on: May be hard to tell but this is a reversable bag. The blue one is not quite finished yet but close. I am sewing on my Great Grandmothers 1930 (I believe) Singer sewing machine and I love it. It is incredible to be connected with so many generations.

Here is another reversible bag. This one is finished and I think it looks pretty good... but not give away good. I'll improve as times goes on.

2008 Pumpkin Patch

Cousin Seth tackles his pumpkin. The weather was amazing that day. We were all a little worried the day before when it was 27 degrees in the morning.
Elijah makes a pretty cute pumpkin!

Cousins Ethan (pumpkin)and Avery (scarecrow)
Avery is doing her cute pose for the camera.

All of the cousins together
Tirzah (9) and Seth (7) are the oldest. Then Chloe, Ethan and Avery are all 4. Elijah is the baby, for now, at 2. I must say that all of the cousins are more like brothers and sisters than cousins. They love each other and as they grow older, watch out for each other.

There is no one so rich, no one so full of joy.

"Certain is it that there is no kind of affection so purely angelic as of a father to a daughter. In love to our wives there is desire; to our sons, ambition; but to our daughters there is something which there are no words to express." ~Joseph Addison

"When you teach your son, you teach your son's son." ~The Talmud

Look at those eyes! Sometimes I wonder if my son provides me more insight into life than I provide him.
