Open House for Isabella

It was fun to go to Isa's Open House at her school, and I have mixed feelings about knowing that she's at the end of Second Grade and will soon be in Third. She's had a great teacher again this year, which has helped make her eager to get to school each day (socializing is the other help!). She was very excited to take us all on a tour of her room and highlight her displayed work. It's easy to be proud of this sweet girl. Yes, she's smart as a whip and tries her best, but the part of her that's touching is her tender spirit. I've watched her yell hi across the playground to many young friends, and be the one who goes to someone who may be feeling left out and talk to them. It makes me smile to think about how God may use her in the future.

Moon Boots

The Buzz Lightyear facination sparked some imagination in Cade and his sidekick, Sydney. (I call them Pete and Repeat--but it may be awhile til they understand why :)  )
At first, Cade wanted pillows taped to his feet, and then settled for towels. They skated around the house (outer space) till the tape broke and then found their boots as part of their spacesuits.

Surprise Passenger

A few weeks ago, Cade and Syd and I decided to take a quick trip to the park before it was time to pick up Isa from school. As we were getting into the car, a surprise passenger jumped into the car and hopped right into Cade's carseat. No amount of coaxing was going to move the pup, I had to lift the it out of the car and it was determined to get right back in. Fortunately, a lady on roller blades, pushing a stroller, soon came by and the pup decided that they were more fun and tagged along with them. Not sure what she ended up doing with it; we escaped while we could. Well, that is, after I found a towel to go on Cade's carseat so he would sit in the chair again....

More Visitors From Iowa Pics

I found more pics of when Jen, Amelia, and Nathan were here in March. "Found" means I forgot I had taken pictures on 2 cameras.  :)

Family Day at RBC

Digging for treasure

These little bubble makers look so serious, but they really were having fun!

Grabbing marbles with toes in ice water--brrr!

Gone Fishin'

AWANA

The end of the school year activities are here. Can it be already? The first event was the Raingutter Regatta for Awana and then the Awards Night.

Sewing

Along with being behind with posts from April and May, my posts on any projects lately are nonexistant. Often I even forget to take pictures before I quickly wrap them up. Here are a few of which I did remember to take pictures.

A bib and a hooded towel for a baby shower. (I also made an infant seat cover which I forgot to photograph.) And I have no idea why all of these pics are coming out turned or upside down, but I don't feel like trying to figure it out  :/.

Dresses for Isa and Sydney (not posting one for another little Miss til I see her...)
