Another Old Pic

I found this pic today. There are several reasons why I love it. I love that pacifier that Molly has in her mouth, it has built on teeth. hehe! She also has a patch on her eye because she had scratched it. I love to see pics of Tim as a baby, because I barely remember it. Tim was sick until he was 6 mo with pneumonia, RSV, ear infections, and asthma. We found out Molly had a blood disease 6 days before Tim got here (she is now in full remission) so she was sick too. I was so busy that I do not remember a lot about him being a baby. Molly had to be tested every week and was on treatments, and we were at the doctor just as much with Tim. This pic makes me grateful for my perfect angels. I love that lamp behind my head, Ben's grandmother gave it to me. I love that purse, it is one of my favorites. Off to the right you can see into my bedroom, on the right is the couch in front of my bed, and to the left is my cradle. I love to see that cradle! My grandfather made it for me when I was pregnant with Molly. We use it for the first 6-8 mo that we have a new baby, then back to the attic it goes. I wish that cradle was in my room again right now. Hope you all had a good weekend. I will have pics of the finished twin dresses soon. CLICK PIC TO ENLARGE

EDIT: I have come back to this post a day later and decided to add this, it's my favorite pic of my mom. I think the only reason this woman was put on this earth was to be a Nana!This is the day Madeline was born and she was holding Tim, he had just woke from a nap and she was telling him the news. I love this one! Doesn't she look pretty.

Your sewing, smocking, and embroidery is absolutely the most beautiful work I've ever seen. You are making heirlooms to be cherished for generations.

The Handmade Dress Infomercial: Do you suffer from scrached DVD's?

Do your children cry when they can't watch their favorite movie because of irritating scratches? Are you sick of paying good money for movies that are scratched minutes after you take them from the case? Do you often wish that we could just go back to VHS because you could leave them out in the rain, bring them in and use them for a coaster, and then let the baby throw it for fun and it would STILL WORK!? ME TOO ! . We have struggled for years with scratched movies that were no longer watchable, but not anymore! We have finally found the secret formula to rid you of this nasty little problem forever! . Crest Kids Toothpaste! YES, that's what I said! Kids toothpaste! . A few months back I heard some place that toothpaste would take of scratches and I tried it and it didn't work, then the other day out of pure desperation I tried it my way. IT WORKED! So I decided this kind of news could not be kept secret, I have to tell the world! So I

New triple bunks.

Ben designed new bunk beds for the "girl's dorm" and "boy's dorm" in our house. We LOVE them!! We are almost done with all of the work, just a few loose ends left to tie up, but I couldn't wait to show off his handy-work. This is the girl set. We stained them with colored stain and we really like how that turned out. It's almost the color of cranberries. I still need to paint the boards that are attached to the wall. I'm going to paint them the color of the wall so that it looks like the beds are floating. :)  This is the boy set while still under construction. We ordered new bunk mattresses, but they haven't come in yet. I will show you guys pictures when they are completely finished. We stained these green, it looks like the color of bamboo. The kids LOVE these beds! And oh the space we have now! I'll be back soon with finished pictures! xo, Sam If any of you make beds using these plans could you send us a picture? We
