March 2010

Pictures from the month of March include our family vacation to Dubuque. We visited the Mississippi River Museum and stayed overnight at the Grand Harbor Resort - no pictures from there though! The second slideshow is of Grace's 6th Birthday.

Grace had a great birthday with presents sent in the mail from farway grandparents to be opened on her Birthday, visits from other grandparents, and a pajama party with some friends from school! It was a great week for her!

And his name is....

... E'Who.

So since I'm not going to commit to a name for our boy until he comes, Darcy was inspired during Sacrament meeting today. The speaker was mentioning the lineage of the Melchizedek Priesthood and said that one of the men was Ehu (it's actually Elihu but who cares). So Darcy gave me several options of E'Who's spelling and we decided that since we live in the Loo, we should go with the above spelling.

So for anyone wants to know the name of our baby boy - it's E'Who until further notice.

Finished!

I have been "working" on this project since August. I bought the material & ribbon because "I'm going to make them a valance today!" In December I cut, ironed & sewed the 3 sections together (b/c I wasn't going to learn to do pleats, so it's super long!). Last Monday, my friend Lisa came and teased me yet again for not having it done (she was around for the other days too) and then suggested the ribbon as the binder. What a cute idea! So I got the curtain finished on Monday night. Tuesday I went to put it up and the rod I had was way too short for the window frame. So today, 6 months later, my wonderful children now have a valance in their room. It will stay when the girls move to the basement and the boys will have a yellow, green & blue room.

I'm so proud of myself! Look Lisa, it's all done!! Yeah!
