Happy Anniversary to Us!

Derek and I have been married for 9 years.  Sometimes it just doesn't seem that long.  Then I think, "wait, I have a 7 yr old.  I better have been married for 9 years!"  These 9 years have been great.  We hardly ever argue with each other, we enjoy each other's company, we agree on most things, and only tease each other a little bit.  We seem to have been designed for each other.  Okay, that's enough sappiness.

Ready and Waiting!

We're getting ready for Halloween! 

Emmy is Tinkerbell.

Andrew is Luke Skywalker.

Nephew's Got a Brand New Bag

Well, so far we've made good progress on Halloween stuff.  Emmy's costume is completely done, Andrew's is almost done, and I still need to make my riding hood, but I at least have the fabric.  Yesterday I got a text message from a sister-in-law asking me if I had made her son a trick or treating bag last year.  I told her I did the bags at least two years ago, so he wouldn't have been born yet, and therefore no bag was made for him.  Luckily, I'm a packrat.  I still had the fabric leftovers from when I made the bag for her daughter.  I used a different color to line it, though, and a different trim.  Hers was a rick rack I think and his is a satin ribbon that says boo.  Now they'll be able to tell the difference.  Here's a picture of the little boy's bag I finished yesterday.

Now I just need to get it to my Father-in-law so that he can deliver it for me.  It's hard to live so far away from everybody.
