fall film

This is a few pictures I did on film a while back. Bethany and I went exploring with our cameras back in September. We had a lot of fun. The local fox hunt was having their opening hunt, which made for some great picture ops.

WARNING: MANY PHOTOS:)

A big thank you to Bethany Miller (our sister-in-law and the kids Aunt Bethany) who took our pictures a month ago! Wow! They turned out so well, as you can tell by how many I posted:) Please enjoy:)

It was a little difficult getting a proper smile from Hans

Ethan, on the other hand, did great:)

so did Anya!

ahhh, there we go Mr. Hans!

We will miss you Bethany and Sam!!

Love you lots!

Quilt

My project over the last couple of months was to make a quilt for my friend and her newest baby. I didn't get it done on time (he was 3 months old when I gave it to her) but I had fun making it and she really appreciated it. I used this pattern on the Moda blog: http://www.modabakeshop.com/2009/03/pinwheel-baby-quilt.html

New photos

Just a few photos from the last couple of weeks.

Anya being sweet Anya!

It is Fall

Yes, fall is lovely, but I find that I am still programmed for Virginia Beach seasons. It should be in the 70's - 80's until, oh, say, Thanksgiving. Right?? The colors here are lovely though, and today is a beautiful day and I intend to get out and enjoy it!

We visited my parents the other weekend and they took us to a cave nearby. We had a lot of fun. Ethan was disappointed that the "minerals" (large sparkly crystals) had all been removed from the cave:)

Anya and Daddy

We celebrated Hans' 3rd Birthday while we were there.

Anya is walking!!

She is a week shy of 14 months.

Jeremiah and the boys carved a pumpkin last night. They enjoyed watching:)
