nov and april

Mr. joe is 6 months! wow how time flies. i had this pic taken while james was out of town as a surprise.

i received this flower arrangment at the hospital from my friends linda and christy when mr. joe was born. i just found it on the computer or i would have posted it before.

august and october

in august james' dad, aunt and uncle came to visit for 3 days. i found this pic in a weird place on the computer, i like it so i'm sharing it.

mom and i would take walks in the evenings. i'd take Mr. Joe along to get him to take a nap. when it started getting really windy in october i'd bundle him up real tight and clamp his blankets to the stroller using baby links.

almost 6 months

this pic was taken labor day weekend in OHIO, incase u couldn't tell by the hat. pops loaned him his hat.
mr joe 2 weeks ago smiling at his great aunt.

mr. joe with pops! I don't remember when the pic was taken but with in the last month. he still has funky hair where it fell out and is slowly growing back.

Ivy quilt

i have had this quilt in a box for a very long time. I hand pieced the 9 patches and machine pieced the border. i had creative stitch longarm the quilt. It took a few hours for 4 days to get the binding on. this quilt is 88 X 104.

Mr. Joe

Mr. Joe was born mid April. i thought i didn't have time for anything before, now when i say it it is true. we had family pics taken mid may when he was almost 4 weeks old.
this is his debut photo. such a sweetheart.

i'm so excited! about 7 weeks have flown by. Went through 13 packs of newborn diapers in 6 weeks. we go through 1 carton of formula a week! Mr. Joe has had 2 rounds of antibiotics in his short life time. first for his umbilical cord and second for his right big toe. it can only get better from here! :)

my asparagus and rhubarb died. i prefer dried out to rotten! i got my garden in with help. then my mom came home with 2 flats of flowers. got those planted and went back for a few more. we came home with 3 flats of flowers, 3 yellow squash and 8 dill plants. i've never been told before that i've had to many plants in a flat but i guess i jammed them in.

had help saturday putting in 15 butterfly bushes, 9-11 blue spruce and 2 buckeye trees. they were planted in the rhubarb and asparagus bed.

check!
