With aching shoulders and burning eyes, I am thankful to announce that the quilt top is assembled. I forgot to take pictures of it after I fully assembled it and am too tired to get it back out, so here are two pictures I took of it mostly assembled. There are six rows laid out … Continue reading Quilt Update

Doll House Baby
The girls haven't had a baby for their doll house. So I made one. Out of some mate-less girls' ruffled socks. I hate the feet, but it would have taken more engineering than I was willing to invest to do better ones. Oh well. Can you tell this was part of a sock? Because it's … Continue reading Doll House Baby
Beautiful Procession
Father posted this on his blog a few days ago. It's a procession on the feast (old calendar of course) of Sts. Cyril and Methodius in Moscow in the Kremlin.

Give a baby a pacifier. 4. Change clothes in a moving vehicle (not while driving). 5. Nurse while in a … Continue reading (Top) Ten List #2
A little visitor this morning…
Father had a little visitor this morning and snapped some pictures. We've had a visitor before but none have tried to take up residence in my thrift store bird cage! I think he looks better than the current resident...
More on Children in Church
[I started to put this in the comment box of the original post and realized it was way too long...] Sigh. It's hard to be a parent. That just about sums it up. In the end we have to do the best we can, stepping back and evaluating occasionally (Have I gotten lazy about this? … Continue reading More on Children in Church
