I just stumbled on this site that I thought some of you might enjoy. It seems to be for anyone that likes the kitchen! Some of us are naturally more gifted in the area of throwing things together (Hannah) and producing something scrumptious (an Aunt Joy term). I am definitely not included in this group! But this site seemed to have some help for me and some classroom/teaching ideas for me and my kiddos! So, to all of us that need a little help in the kitchen...

learning to sew

Rachel wanted to learn to sew. So...I let her pick a pattern and fabric! She had a blast at the store and when we got home I introduced her to all of the basics. We are in the process of making matching dresses for her and Malia. But before we embarked on that we thought it would be fun to make these cute "goodie bags" for Caleb's sprinkler birthday party! Here she is and here is the finished product. She did a great job, didn't she? Go Rachel!!!

Welcome

Welcome to our new blog. I am very excited and a little nervous to share our lives with you. This blog is mainly for our family and friends to get a glimpse into the daily happenings of our family. My hope is to bless you with our precious kiddos. They do and say so many wonderful things and often I find myself thinking I wish _______ (put your name in the blank) could be here to see this. So, this is my chance to share these things with you.
