I put James in his crib for a nap and picked something up off the floor came back up and saw he was looking right at me. Just standing there. This was his first time doing this new trick.

One of our new puppies! There are two little girls like this & their mom. The babies are about 6 weeks old & no bigger than a large guinea pig right now. It's nice having puppies to take care of, again!

I broke down and bought new blush at Wal-mart last night ($2 haha). But I still will probably use the old one for another month? Cheap....

When Nikki was about 12, Santa gave her this velvet embossing kit for Christmas. It has sat in the box for all these years. Tonight Madison and I began to work on it. It is really cool. After we stamp the designs on the fabric with an iron, we are going to sew them into 2 purses. Gabby saw us doing it, and now she wants to get some fabric and make some too!

We have a new pastor at our church. He came from St. Peter's in Geneva! It was very heartwarming to see many families (mine included) who had been attending Mass at a neighboring parish return to our home church. Hopefully we will all stay and rebuild the community that we had here.

Jen July 4, 2009

Today was a rainy day but I still had some people over and celebrated the 4th. We grilled and played wii. It was fun. Wish the weather was better.

The fam just hung out at our house a bit....Milo found Winnie the Pooh and either loved or hated him? Winnie is now short a few body parts, and Brooks will likely discover them in a day or two..haha
