Gifts for My Girls

When I lived out in Benton City, WA, when I was growing up, our elderly neighbor lady was a great one for crafting.  Well, in proper homeschooler style, I asked her to teach me how to knit. But it soon became apparent that though she knew how to knit, she preferred crochet – it was prettier. Thus it came about that I learned how to crochet, and have never learned how to knit. This is an example of the vaporous nature of life, per Ecclesiastes. Anyway, every once in a while, I dust off my skills and pull out my hooks.  This time the girls actually really like them! And this time I got pictures! I got the pattern from Hookcandy.com: the Baby/Toddler Fingerless Mitts.

I’m prejudiced, but I think they both are. Smile

Our friend's son, Ethan, ended up rooming with Ezra and Phin for that time. Since his stay impacted us in a big way, I didn't want to leave him out of our photo albums!

When you go to a wedding...

And you take pictures! This was at the wedding of Luke and Maria Dahlin, who thoughtfully provided a photo booth for their guests, run by Peter Mahar. A good time was had by all!  Photo booth silliness! My two blondes. I love this photo: Judah all casual and Ezra so serious... Eagerly waiting for the bride and groom to make an appearance! My three boys with their friend John - and Simon (behind John's hair).
