31st Birthday!

Happy Birthday Mike.
We loved having Mike's brothers and their families here for the big birthday weekend. But I forgot to get out my camera until after Jared's family left - sorry guys!! We had fun playing settlers, going to the petting zoo and making Richard & Janae babysit while Jared, Abby, Mike and I went to see Sherlock. Thanks for coming and we hope you all come again in the summer when we can do a little bit more outdoors fun!

Baby in a Bucket


I recently re-discovered the baby in a bucket my grandma gave to me for Christmas one year. I was probably 14 or 15 when she gave it to me. I was appreciative of the thought even if I never played with it. However, Eliza loves it. I thought I would post a picture of it for all you crocheters or knitters out there. For some reason my pictures were a little blurry, but basically it is a cool whip container with a crocheted top, with a small baby inside. The baby has a crocheted hat, dress and underwear and small pillow, mattress and blanket. I know Janae's grandma made her one similar. Anybody else? Was it a fad in the 80's-90's?


And here is a picture of Eliza with her favorite Christmas present. She wore them straight through 3 hours of church last week. (No they are not prescription!)

Ian is happy to be back at school and in swim lessons. And we are happy to have something to entertain him too.
