Fun with Grandpa Tom

Aubrie relaxed. No waking this girl up.
We played a lot of dress up while Grandpa was here.

Hanging out in the house.

Even Grandpa was able to fit in the house.

Some snooze time with Aubrie.

Alex drew this picture a couple of days ago. It is grandpa top driving the harvester. He made sure to point out the hands. The kids sure enjoyed the visit. Thanks for coming.

Who is Who?

Who is who? After everyone told me how Aubrie looks like all my other kids I wanted to check it out. So can you tell who is who?
I hope the guesses are in

Projects

As I was looking for the projects I wanted to post I found this picture. The first week we brought Aubrie home I never went upstairs. So Allan told Alex to clean the playroom. Well instead of using the tubs that are against the wall to put all the toys in. Alex dumped them all out and put everything in the middle of the playroom. Kinda creative if you ask me but not my idea of cleaning the playroom.
So before I had Aubrie I was wanting to make so quilts. I really didn't have a project so I thought I would make the boys blankets for their beds since they don't have anything. I used the log cabin pattern and came up with this. It was way easy and you don't need a pattern. Just buy some fabric and make it. I also found this really cool web site that teaches you and gives ideas of patterns to do the quilts. All is left is to do the borders, quilt it, bind it. So maybe in two years they will have new blankets for their beds. In the mean time I have to get an idea for Aubrie's blanket.

First week Home

For Aubrie's first week home Kit and Mom were able to come out. It was rather nice. Sleeping in until 9, not having to cook, and not worrying about Alex and Trinity being bored because we had such wonderful help. Thanks Mom and Kit for coming down.
Trinity was Optimus Prime. Since this time Alex has not taken off his Optimus costume.

Hanging out with Grandpa!

Hanging out with Grandma.

Hanging out with dad. Some much needed time. It is amazing how bringing home a new baby changes everything and takes awhile for everything to get back to normal. I think Tracy put it the best. The smallest things like doing the dishes or cooking dinner all seems like a big deal after you had your baby.
