I'm almost finished with all the blocks and I have a (rather ambitious) goal of having the quilt top finished this week! Wish me luck!

Quilt update!
Annnd I may be totally addicted to quilting. I love that I can just work a little at a time and it's not a huge pain to come back to later. Easy to pick up or leave off depending on how much time I have.

Happy Memorial Day!!
We were lucky enough to get to go to the Rangers game Saturday and sit in some awesome seats!
And yesterday we enjoyed our friends at church and then some of our family at home
I love hearing little kids play in the pool. From explaining sharks and salmons(I think she meant minnows?) to telling me she spent 37 seconds under water, it's never a dull moment.
We had our first outdoor dining of the summer: ribs, corn, squash, coleslaw, and watermelon and cantaloupe. Yummmm. And notice the full roll of paper towels- a necessity with ribs!
Not sure what's on tap for today, but mainly we will just be spending time together.
At the ball game Saturday a young woman was honored who is deploying to Afghanistan in June (so next week). I've been thinking about her all weekend and mainly thinking about her family. What if I had to send C or H across the world to fight in a war? Would I be strong enough? Could I be brave enough for them? Would I ever sleep or would I spend every moment worried about their safety?
Let's remember all of those who deal with this war on a daily basis and who make sacrifices every day for those of us sitting around the pool eating BBQ. May I keep all those mothers and fathers (and sisters, brothers, cousins, grandparents, wives, husbands) in my mind as I enjoy this wonderful country.
To those no longer here and to those still fighting, thank you.

Capture///The Start of Summer
Feels like summer is here.
Backyard play time, bug bites, a new water table, and two curious little one year olds ready to explore.
Bring on summer.
