Goodbye Goats!: back track to november

*Always worth noting, today is May 5 so my memory for details and enthusiasm for going back 6 months to catch up on a self-inflicted must-do task may not be in full force. But I can't let this blog go now. It's been too long. And I'm in 2nd trimester productivity mode so no one is going to stop me.

November 1

Attic

Working on a baby quilt for Andy's sister. Got some pins in and quilt lines on!

November 2

St. Mary's

Big morning for Andy. He had his tonsils out and turbinates removed. Another step to help the snoring. Hopefully...Note from the future. He still snores if he doesn't wear his mouth piece, but his sinus infections seem to have decreased.

November 3

Across the Street

Beautiful fall morning with these sweet friends running around in their vests.

November 4

LGBG

Adah and Leena, tree climbers extraordinaire.

November 5

Science Museum

Built a sailing car in the tinker lab. It didn't sail too well. Or maybe our wind was just too weak.

November 6

Science Museum

My guess is we had a string of bad weather and filled our mornings here. I mean, nothing wrong with that. So many options for fun activities.

November 7

Attic

So close yet so far away. No matter how many times I put binding on a quilt, this part gets me all frustrated and confused. I finally figured it out after several videos and even more seam rippings.

November 8

Front Yard

Proof that I finally figured it out and finished the dang quilt. Just kidding. I only say dang because of that last binding step. I really like this one and as I do more quilts, I think I'm learning less is more. At least for my tastes.

November 9

Living Room

Andy folding laundry and making fun of Leena. Even though Leena's asleep. So maybe he just wanted to put my underwear on his head?

November 10

Station 5

Andy's been out of work because of his surgery so he needed a firehouse fix. He played the janitor until somebody noticed.

November 11

LGBG

Garden morning with friends.

November 12

Sunroom

They are both so excited to be celebrating Leena's 4th birthday.

November 13

Kitchen

Our little fashionista.

November 14

Kitchen

Now both of them. Edwin prefers Leena's leggings over his own pants.

November 15

Attic

Birthday party prep. How to Train Your Dragon Viking hats made from cardboard, duct tape, and masking tape. Thanks to Katie for putting in some time to help me knock these out.

November 16

Kitchen

Really trying to document her daily fashion choices because she is not afraid.

November 17

Living Room, Sunroom

Birthday party day. Also, the year of the costumes.

November 18

Sunroom

Just a little Viking breakfast.

And watching her dad work outside.

November 19

Little Rock/Richmond

Quick solo trip home to celebrate my Grandpa Frost's life. Facetiming with the kids while they eat their Viking dinner. Don't mind the photo orientation. I'm too lazy to fix it.

November 20

Grandpa Frost's house

North Little Rock, AR

Watching a video my cousin made for my Grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary ( 15ish years ago) with my cousins, aunts, and uncles and laughing and crying at all the good life that has come from their life.
