Blessings

ah the holidays! what better time to start a blog about family, life, crafting and organizing and anything else that pops into this old brain of mine.  this is my favorite time of year, although it did come a little earlier than usual thanks to the stores.  what's up with that?  it does seem that the real meaning of the holidays is getting lost in all the selling so in an effort to recapture some of that  i want to share with you the many blessings in my life, so here goes....  my number one blessing is definately my family.

my husband jon (hereafter refered to as "the hubs") is always there when i need him, encouraging and challenging me to be my best.  he certainly keeps me on my toes.  he is a preacher, teacher, father, carpenter, fix-it guy, plumber, (um not the kind with the baggy pants and well you know...), but most importantly my friend and the love of my life.
we have four great kids ranging in age from 16 to 10.
taylor and morgaine are our girls and they have been after me to start this blog for a long time.  thanks guys for all your encouragement!  
Taylor loves to crochet and is becoming quite proficient at morphing patterns into what she wants instead of just following the pattern.

Morgaine loves anything to do with sewing. she started at an early age turning socks into doll clothes and likes to make small stuffies and anything else that comes to mind.

Zackary is "ma wee man".  he loves to follow daddy around and learn what makes things work.  he likes to build with legos and play on the computer.

Seth is the "baby" of the family. (although he is bigger than his big brother, shhh) his favorite pastimes are legos, computers, torturing his sisters, and did i mention computers?

anyway thats my family in a nutshell.   just a bunch of nuts!
thanks for joining me, i hope you enjoy reading what the old grey cells come up with.
