Last week was an emotionally draining week. But we have all made it through. We said our goodbyes to a dear cousin on Friday who had battled Ewings sarcoma for five long years (you can read more here). As hard as it's been for the family and us, it is comforting to know that he is no longer hurting. Stevie we are going to miss your smile and antics!!! :)
We celebrated the twins 1st birthday a little early on Saturday. It was nice to have everyone over and have an enjoyable evening. Although both girls were and still aren't feeling quite right. I am hoping it's just allergies and not ear infections again. All the other kids had a great time.
We had a low key Labor day. Brian & I took the kids to the Washington Park Zoo. It's a small but a very nice zoo. Then we had a quick picnic lunch courtesy of the Washington Park Fest that was going on by the beach. A good time was had by all. I love spending time with my little, big family!!!
My "projects" for the week: Work on my sister's quilt, Stocking orders!!! If you would like to have stockings for yourself, go here for instruction on how to order them!
What I am cooking: Nothing at the moment...would like to make some freezer meals though.

Looking around the house: Laundry and general tidying need to be done.
