What a wonderful week we have had. Here's Ozzie, waiting for Christmas. He has had an attention filled week. What choice did we have? Without eyes or hands on him, he was scouting for trouble. He's actually doing very well training us (well, Allen) to take him outside at all the right times. Ozzie's a smart little fellow, especially if stubbornness is any indication of intelligence.
Ready, set, open! Shannon and Nathan, Meghan and Justin, Bridger and Taplin, Jean and Allen -- that makes for lots of presents. The big fun, of course, it watching the boys. Bridger was appropriately excited about his Lego table from Grandma and Grandpa, and Taplin seemed to like his little oak table and chairs too. I was most excited to give Shannon her Red and Cheddar quilt. I think it took almost two years, and it has a gazillion little one inch squares in it.
I don't have a good picture of it yet, but I'll post on when I do. I still have to put a label on it, but I was happy enough to have time to sew on the binding after my quilter returned it to me in the middle of December. Looking down, you can see Taplin climbing on it while Shannon tries to fold it up.
The day after Christmas, and all is well. Meghan has a rare, quiet moment with her little angels. They are busy little men, on the go most of the time.
Taplin keeps us all in stitches. He is one fun fellow, and he sure likes pizza.
Bridger is getting so grown up, most of the time, that is. What a good lookin' guy!
TaDa!! My block of the month, designed by Sue Garman for The Quilt Show, is complete on this last day of 2009! One year in the making. I finished it just this morning. I have never made anything this complex or challenging. It has its problems, but I am pretty dang proud of myself. Now we will have to take a road trip to Franklin so I can get the backing, and then off to the quilters.
