Bruce continues to be the best dog ever

Daddy's shirt has never been so cute

Settle down ladies... that up there is my husband. Try not to be too jealous.

As I continue to sew like a crack addict does crack (ask Aaron to show you his impression of me at the sewing machine) I've become a little more comfortable trying new things. Like sleeves. Anyway, I found a website where a girl turned an adult sized sweater into a sweater dress for her daughter. It was so cute and come to find out it was a super easy & fun project. I only had two sweaters to use so Lola has two new sweater dresses for the winter. Like most crack addicts I am poor and can't afford all the fabric I want to keep my habit going so I sent Aaron up to his wardrobe to see what he could find for me and SCORE! he brought down this amazing brown shirt! Why didn't I ever see him in this? I love it! Using the same technique to make the sweater dresses I made this fabulous dress for Miss Lola! Not only does she have a cute new dress she has a special dress made from her Daddy's shirt.

It's Bronx & Anora day!

Lola waited all week for her friends Bronx & Anora to arrive for a fun girl's weekend waking up each morning and asking "is it Bronx & Anora day yet?" The girls played so well together with only one minor incident to report on Saturday evening when Lola & Anora wanted the same coloring book. The situation was smoothed over in no time.
Rowan got wind of the girl party over at Lola's house and casually told his parents "we should go for a walk around the block" sure Rowan.... we know what you were up to, it was all a part of your master plan.
Below are more photos from the fun weekend.

Debbie - it was GREAT having you girls here!!!!!!! We love & miss you all so much!

Lola's Labor Day weekend surprise

Lola received a phone call on Saturday afternoon from her Grandma Joni. Grandma said "come outside Lola" ... So we headed out front to find Grumpa standing there in yard! Lola said "Grumpa! How did you get here?" Then she spotted her Grandma! She took them to the park, to Joanne Fabrics and The Pub with the other Brown family. Lola's Daddy, Grumpa & Jeff went early so they could have a couple beers before the children arrived for dinner.
Today she plans on showing her Grandparents some of her ballerina moves before they head back to the windy city.

Thanks for coming to visit Dad & Joni, it's been a fun weekend!
