Welcome to the World

Last time we met, Angela was just about ready to deliver. Hard to believe with that smooth belly of hers.

Look what this little family has now!


Look at those blue eyes. It looks like they might stay that way…

Go Vote!

Stand in line.  Bring a hot drink and some snacks to keep you warm and happy.  Oh, and be nice to the folks at the polling place.  They are going to have a very long day.

Robots and a Funny Shirt

So we figured out a gift for the birthday boy on Saturday. I think it was a great success.
He really liked the shirt India made. Go figure. I thought he would pass right over that!
Here’s what we came up with.

A make-your-own robot set inspired by this one… which is way cooler. You gotta start somewhere, right?


A shirt designed and painted by India. Have you ever done a freezer paper shirt? That’s what we did. We had about 4 stencils made from the paper. It turned out pretty cool, if I do say so myself.

A Few Gifts

With a joint baby shower and a birthday party on Saturday, I was able to get back into our tradition of making gifts. I felt a baby book would be nice to give the expectant moms and I saw this memory game here.
Another birthday this coming Saturday. No ideas. A boy turning 8… hum. Can I find anything beyond the plastic yuck in the stores? We’ll see.

Exterior of each. One for a boy, one for a girl. I know, both are a bit feminine. What can ya do?


One of the interior pages. I finally bought one of those stamps that are like the librarian date stamps. This has the entire alphabet and I think about 15 letters across. Awesome.


I have so much paper that I knew this would be a great project.


The card India made for the birthday girl who was turning 3. A picture of the girl and her big brother… who is appropriately small for her special day.
