Thursday's

Pretty much every Thursday since the middle of February when the twins were born, I've been going up to Ben & Carla's house.  Sometimes I do some dishes or laundry, sometimes I play with the older two, or sometimes I just sit with the babies. Every week is a little different, but I am enjoying going!

Here's the boys yesterday sporting one of the outfits I gave them:

Since it was so hot yesterday, we spent most of the afternoon outside! The older two had fun in the pool and the younger two had fun in their little saucer thing.

Elliott:

There has been quite a few times where I've even gotten to spend the night while Ben is away for work. I've definitely got experience with twin infants! However, I am thankful for this opportunity to get to know their family a little better, and both Ben and Carla have been very encouraging to me while I face this struggle of being unemployed. 



 The boys are growing up so fast and are turning into handsome little men! I can't believe they are almost 4 months old already!

3x

I just finished casting on my 200 stitches for my next project. This is the 3x I've casted on. I've had to rip it out already 2x and start over. So we'll see how long this lasts!

Memory Monday

So I am going to start up something new, Memory Monday. I'm not giving myself too many guidelines, but it will be about 1-2 pictures of a memory. Could be something recent, could be something from years ago! We'll see.


This picture was taken on our camping trip to Lake Pemaquid in 1998. Mom was excited to get a picture of all the kids smiling. She planned to use it for our Christmas picture................. until she saw the bubble gum covering my teeth!! :)

FO: Not Too Fancy

Remember this post? Well, I finally finished it, some 4 months later! I actually finished it towards the end of February, but decided I didn't like the finished project. So I ripped it out and started over. But when things got a little complicated with my previous job and school, knitting kind of fell to the side. Now that I have free time, I pulled it back out on Monday, finished it on Tuesday, and gave it to mom for her VERY belated birthday present on Wednesday. And for those of you that saw her last night at church, she wore it! I really do like how it came out, but my pictures don't show it very good.

Beach Time!

On Wednesday, I went to the beach with a few friends. It was a little chilly, but the kids had fun! It was Roth's first time and he loved it! 



Unfortunately, those were the only decent pictures I got!

Smart Car

I got this through an email. Is it cool or what? 

Credit belongs to the owner of the picture, not me.

I would totally paint my car like that if I had one!

To everything...

So this is the sign hanging on the wall above my bed. And even though it sits there and I am constantly near it, I fail to read it as many times as I should.


"To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Almost Done!

So I think I say this at the end of every semester, but I am SO ready for this semester to be done!! :) Today is my last day of classes, and I have a final on Monday and a final next Wednesday and then I'm done! One week left! Unfortunately though, the next few days and this weekend I will be studying like crazy! Then I can enjoy the summer since I still don't have a job :)
