News — Rory

I know its been quiet and I owe you quite a few posts as to what has been going on, however Rory LOVES the Holiday Season. He was literally still in his halloween costume asking me how quickly I could get down the halloween stuff so he could start decorating for Christmas. To that 6 year old boy Christmas is a season from Nov 1-about Feb 1 when he starts preparing for his March Birthday. To him Christmas includes the Festival of St Nick, St Lucy Day, Hanukkah and all 12 days of Christmas. He tells us all the time...

Look now I’m on posts that are only a month behind. My goal is to get caught up on posts this week you know before July then give you an update at least once a week. Fun right?  One day Finn and I were at the grocery store and instead of a treat at the end he just wanted to ride this plane. He was so good he got to ride twice even! Then my custom tag for my infinity necklace arrived from Erika. Isn’t it lovely. The inspiration was I remember when I was a little girl my grandmother...

Rory and Finn had so much fun at the zoo it was all they talked about. Steve was coming up for the weekend from Key West and I mentioned that maybe the following day we could all go to the zoo.

I’ll spare you the eleventy billion animal pictures (except a few I can’t resist) that I took. I thought a picture with the peacock would be a nice tradition. Then we rented one of those pedal car...

So left with just Rory & Finn we headed to the Zoo! My Mom had gotten us an annual pass as part of our family holiday gift and we had yet to use it. Had I realized before hand just how big the zoo here in Miami is things may have been different but we had an amazing day.  The boys wanted me to take their picture before we...

I’ll admit it I caught the big. The quilting bug. Honestly though I made a quilt for Lexi what kind of a mom would I be if I didn’t make quilts for the rest of the kids too. I started back in January cutting out pieces for the boys quilts. Then because his birthday was coming I decided to complete Rory’s quilt first. Now remember back to Christmas Stockings in the December Recap, you see there was some reason to my madness of the different stocking styles. I was lucky on this one because I had a couple pieces still...
