Last Day of Preschool

Today Daniel and Gretchen had their last day of preschool, and each of their classes celebrated at different parks, of course. Luckily, it's Friday, and James has the day off, so James took Daniel to his picnic and I took Gretchen to hers. It was Daniel's very last day of preschool - he gets to start kindergarten in the fall. So he got a great little diploma to bring home.



Gretchen still has one more year of preschool, and we already have her signed up for the same one, hopefully with the same teacher. She gave Mrs. Sue a little writing journal as a thank you.

Three New Heartbeats

Today we went to Spokane Family Farm to get three bunnies to add to our little piece of heaven. I had met these bunnies the previous week when my MOPS table went to the farm for a tour. They stole my heart, and since I had told the kids we would eventually get them each a bunny, I thought it was a perfect fit.

They are only 8 weeks old, so we are still not 100% sure which ones are girls and which ones are boys. But I have a friend who will help me get that figured out in a couple of weeks. And then we will separate them as needed!

A Soldier's Quilt

I belong to a quilt group, which I love, and one of our most recent projects has been a soldier's quilt. One of our members has a nephew who is deploying for his third overseas mission at the end of May. One of his wishes was for a warm quilt for his bunk. As a surprise to him, our group got together to make a patriotic quilt long enough for his tall stature. We had 20 different people work on this quilt in one way or another - piecing blocks, cutting sashing strips, sewing, machine quilting, binding, etc. I don't have a photo of the finished product yet, but here is a photo of all of our blocks laid out, ready to be stitched into rows.
