They are so cute... When they're sleeping

What is it about a sleeping child that makes me run for my camera?
Maybe because its the only time they are still (and quiet!) and maybe just because there isn't much that's cuter than a snoozing child...



V1 loves layers of blankets... 3 in this pic!



For some odd reason, V2 prefers to sleep across the foot of his bed... Okay, as long as he goes to sleep.





V3 wants to bury his head somewhere... And of course prefers to sleep on someone most of the time!

Crochet... a lesson in patience

I have realized lately that I like instant gratification.

Sewing is great... I can usually finish a project in one or two sittings...

Whoala! Instant gratification!

And then there is crochet... the pic is a project in the works. It will be a small blanket, not even a full baby-sized one... and what you see represents about 4 nights of work (1-2 hrs a night). Granted, I'm slow with a hook, but geez! No instant gratification there. Maybe God is trying to teach me patience through crochet.

(At this rate, 4 nights down... about 20 to go)

V is for Veggies...

Someone, please, HELP, save the veggies! Anyone...? Hello...(Hello... Hello...)

Truly, this is the problem with an audience of one (um, that would be me). There is no one here to help.

I took these unsuspecting little plants from their nice home at the big store- the one that starts with a W. They were happy and thriving on the shelf among their buddies.

One day at home with me, and they start to die!

Leaves are browning, they refuse to act alive... what do I do???

Off to google to try to save the veggies! Oh, and nice Wal-mart register person, next time you see me coming with poor helpless plants, do the humane thing and refuse to let me buy them.

(The two on the far left seem to be okay- still in their Walmart pots... wonder if they can just stay there...?)

All the V's

Here we are....

V (the big 'un), V1 (the oldest), V2 (the middle), and V3 (V Baby)...

And of course, me, V Mom. What you can't see in the photo is the "mom grip" holding V1 and V2 in place... hence, the pained grins. Oh, the things we do for a family pic...

the first....

So, what exactly does a girl write in her first blog post?

Since I am my own audience of one, I suppose I just have to entertain me...
geez, I hope I don't bore myself.

Okey dokey, Mom V, let's see where this leads.
