Been Up To Stuff

I didn't mean for it to be so long since my last post. 

Its been very busy around here and I imagine it will stay

that way until after the first of the year...yes, 2012 is coming before we know it.  

Our garden gave us plenty of zucchini

so I made

zucchini bread and chocolate zucchini bread

Our plum tree was also very generous, yielding enough fruit for nine 

batches of plum jam. This is something we make every year.

I am so glad the crop was large this year.

We have many request for it and our whole family loves it, as well. 

The poor tree was so heavy laden, I couldn't bear to take a photo.

We celebrated a birthday (my hubby's).

There was family time and this is what we ate for breakfast,

not so nutritious, but very delicious!

A Pinterest find. I love Pinterest, but more about that another time.

We found time for hair cuts.

and naps,

(I know, I know this couch/fabric is soooo dated, 

we tried  to find someone to reupholster it yesterday, but no such luck)

 fun in the tub,

and play time

We even enjoyed seeing Poppy (grandpa/my hubby) in concert at the park.

 I really need to take more photos of the adults 

that belong to these children. I love them too! : )

Gigi (great grandma to the children, mom to me) with the littlest one, Kinlee

Whew, a busy last few weeks, but I did find time to sew a bit. 

A few backpacks. 

The perfect size for a cute little one.

and a new tote pattern

Now for the next few weeks.....
