What a kid.

Did some sewing today in a color palate that we don’t see too much of around here.

After 11 years of marriage, $75 and one evening Craigslist pickup trip, we have ourselves our very first proper bed.

It seems such a luxury now to have a headboard and a footboard!

This is the sixth year that I’ve run the used book table at our church fair. It is one week of intensive book sorting and setting, followed by five and a half hours of selling them. I love it!

If you’re local, come on down tomorrow for the Dane Street Church Holiday Fair– 10 Dane Street in Beverly.

I intended to post a photo today from our first visit to the new Hall of Human Life exhibit at the Museum of Science. We spent two whole hours exploring it and there is still more to see and learn. It was a great afternoon.

But as I was scrolling through todays photos I came across this gem. Esme had requested a group shot in front of “the man” at Chipotle. Noah grabbed her hair, with obvious great delight, and I was lucky enough to catch it.

Ever the professional when it comes to babies, she shrugged it off and moved on without missing a beat.

I call this one: Elliott Street Rescue.

It often seems like each new time we embark on a new project the girls bring to it new skills and abilities. While preparing our sewing project today, Esme took care of all the ironing.

She did a good job and it was very helpful- results that I still haven’t quite gotten used to!

The kids were fascinated with Deanne and her needle felting skills today at the park. This was only part of the crowd that gathered around her. None of those six children are hers 🙂

Late night, stealthy, Christmas knitting is some of my very favorite knitting!
