10 Years

10 years I have been a mother.  10 years since my first little peanut was born on a very cold day in January.  I'm quickly becoming the age I still think of as my parent's age.  We celebrated Skyla's 10th with a fancy pants lunch at the Sundial downtown.  My kids do love to ride an escalator or elevator so this one going up over 70 floors was a pretty big deal.  A slumber party with cousins(celebrating Ely's 9th too)  and we had our selves a party.  Skyla continues to surprise me.  Unexpected moments of confidence and courage that I hope she can hold on to.

Drawing

Jude keeps drawing these little guys again and again.  I love them and thank you Skyla....for teaching him to write his name. :)

Hand Made

 Holiday hair clips for the girls.

I made these sweaters and booties for the girl's dolls.  They also picked out the fabric for me to sew burp cloths and bibs.

Skyla knitted this scarf for her beloved Milly.

Zoo

Jude and I took advantage of a Groupon and spent the day at the zoo.  The weather was beautiful and it felt like we were the only people there.  We were eating lunch and he asked me, "Are you having a good time?"  So sweet that boy.
