catcher-up....

You know...you'd think I'd learn that these aren't the favorite posts to read....oh well...
I've been seriously lazy at uploading pics of late (thus, the boring, wordy posts), however: tonight, I feel the urge. So, here it goes!

Yet another stint of sewing. This was my second skirt. Since then, I've made two others for my sisters-in-law...oh how I wish I owned a sewing machine!

Mason's first professional haircut. Yes, I realize he's had many (all of which debuted on this blog), but this one was special.

Auntie Jennie is fixing him up right!

He wasn't so sure about the itchy hair.

But it was all worth it! Isn't he handsome, and she so cute??!!!!

Yes, he is ours...no question!

Saying good-bye to Daddy today. (**tear**).

Brooklyn wasn't so sure what all the hullabaloo was about....she figured it out around bedtime.

Jon left this afternoon for Las Vegas. He gets to start his first day of work tomorrow (Monday). It was SOOO hard to see him go. Much harder than when he left to take the bar. We don't know how long we'll be missing him and it compounded the sadness. I'm also seriously bummed that I won't get to be there for his first day of work. I really wanted a pic of my Handsome-Lawyer-Husband, but it will have to be a little belated. We're still waiting to hear about the house. If we get it, the kids and I won't move down until it's closed on. If we don't, we'll be renting so we can go down as soon as next weekend. I wish they would hurry up and call!! I want to Make Some Plans!! (gee, where have I read that before??....I really shouldn't be so impatient!) It will all work out, I'm sure. I just like to know the journey rather than just the end!
And, finally.....

I made THIS today.

Are you tired of seeing all my sewing projects, yet? It's as bad as my beginner scrapbook pages! Anywho..I've really been wanting a little sun dress to wear over my swimming suit. I didn't want to spend lots of money on one, SO...I spent $3.50 on fabric and $2.44 on a pattern that I can use again and again! Pretty good deal, I'd say!! (Thanks to Carole for donating the machine-time, thread and courtesy elastic!) I'm really gonna miss not being able to sew and not having someone to encourage me at it...{sigh}....
Happy Monday, all and Welcome back to school to those still in that boat!! :). This will be the first time in nearly 7 years that one of us isn't starting school in the fall...OIY! good thing Brooklyn is due to start preschool (if we ever get settled, that is). Whatever would we do without a school schedule to dictate our lives?? :) Happy day!

P.s. Mason's head fared much better today...until Aunt Tami's that is. Sitting around chatting, I hear a cement CONK and look over to see Mason's forehead connect with the patio. Seriously! Also, over the course of the evening, he tipped over one chair and bonked his head on another. I'm truly going to have to get the kid a helmet!
