Wool present

Birthday present for a girlfriend who is allergic to wool...the backing is cotton and told her not to rub it on her face. Loved doing it and very happy with how it turned out.

Firepit Christmas present

Can't wait to have hot chocolate by the fire pit with our new matching mugs and peppermint marshmallows.  Fantastic present....thanks Brittany.

Lights, roll tide, and beer

Beautiful day after Thanksgiving, so at least the outside got decorated.

Always wanted to be able to roast marshmallows.....nice addition.

Had to take Ben to the brewery tour on Saturday. Chris knew all of the answers in the beer making process quiz....makes a mom proud.   Then met up with our niece Karla for another brewery tour, this one MUCH smaller than AB.


  
Had to take Ben to the St Louis classic (which Karla was happy to go to again) for frozen custard. After that, it was on to watch the Alabama-Auburn football game as Ben is a huge Alabama fan. We had a great time with lots of like-minded fans. Roll tide.....roll.

Family Thanksgiving picture


Usually get at least one family picture a year and this one shows how short I am compared to these tall boys.


Wanted to recreate this old picture mom keeps on her fridge....not quite the same.

Happy Anniversary and the legacy

Happy Anniversary to my parents.  The boys at the top (August 2007, right before Chris went to Milwaukee for college and the beginning of a new stage) are such a legacy to my parents.  Family folk lore is what keeps the history alive and these boys have so much history with both grandparents.  They are blessed as am I.

Tooth fairy

It's been a long time since the tooth fairy but this is so cool. Reminds me of how often the "tooth fairy" forgot or didn't have any money and would leave a note with an IOU.   They certainly grow up fast.

Now if Caleb gets his wisdom teeth out next year, I would be happy if the tooth fairy would cover the deductible and didn't worry about anything under the pillow.
