Spring is here...

...it is, it really is! Back from my mini-vacation of little rest. Thanks Catherine! Visited the west coast for a few days to come back to the cold east coat weather. But the weather now here is great. Went to the beach for the first time this year with the boys on Saturday to meet up with Shannon and her family. The boys loved playing in the sand and more so in the water. By the time we left, all the kids had no pants on and were running in the water with their diapers/underwear and their shirts.

I was able to finally give Catherine her birthday bag and she loved it. I have to send her the instructions how to make it when I think of it.

Things here are starting to pick up pace again. The girls have started outdoor soccer so practices are 3 nights a week and games start soon. Ron is no longer on a sub. He had a reaction to something on the boat which caused him to be sent to the hospital. After testing him for various things, it was determined that he is safer off the the boat so now we are waiting to hear where he will be assigned to. The boys are as crazy as ever and don't seem to be slowing down. Kieran is for the most part potty trained and I am so happy! It is the first time in 10 years that there is no one in a diaper during the day.

Time has flown by

I can't believe it has been just about a month since my last post. Time has flown by! Ron has been out and back again, we have all been sick and now I am getting ready to take a mini vacation to visit San Diego. We had Sarah and Kieran's birthday dinner. We had family and friends over and had a lot of fun. Indoor soccer is winding down but outdoor practices have already begun.

I haven't been sewing as much as I have wanted with all that we have had going on. I did manage to start a new quilt using a jelly roll that I am really liking and I have made a couple of pincushions that need finishing. I did make a new tote bag for my trip to hold my travel needs. It came out so cute and only took a few hours! I love it!!

I also decided to take a stab at jewelry making. I have no idea what made me want to try it but I did and ended up making some bracelets. I am bringing a couple to San Diego as gifts and I have to figure out what to do with the rest...I might just wear them!

Hopefully after a little relaxation this coming week...I can't say resting, I was told no sleeping on this vacation...so relaxation, I will be sewing a lot more once I get home. Gotta finish up some started projects so I can start some new ones without guilt!
