Welcome, Little One!

My two latest sewing projects...a Bible cover for Sarah's new Bible and a jean skirt for Rachel (made out of Benjamin's jeans that had holes in the knees):

Come, Sweet Baby!

Here's baby and me at 40 weeks (and 2 days)! The day that we will hold this little one in our arms is just around the corner and we are EXCITED!

From the Past...

Recently the kids found this picture of Garth and me. We were engaged to be married and only had a couple more months before we graduated from college with our bachelor degrees! I was in the middle of student teaching my 1st grade class at the time. It's hard to believe that this was over 9 years ago...where has time gone?!?! And where has my blonde hair gone?!?!? Seems it's gotten darker with each pregnancy.
