A visit from Mia



Matt's mom, Mia, came up from Columbia, SC to visit these last few days. The children and Mia snuggled together tons in Mia's Snuggie , which has proven to be a pretty handy "blanket." I think I might just have to get me one :) She gave me a crash course in Sewing 101. We actually got my nice sewing machine out of the box for the first time since I got it as a present from her, mind you, about 5 years ago. The machine has all sorts of gadgets and I'm excited to practice my stitching. Last night I hemmed my first pair of dress pants... it looks like a professional did it. I think I might have found a new hobby. Got to make it to Joann's sometime soon to get more fabric, pins, marking chalk, thread, etc... Oh my mind is spinning! (just like my sewing machine, hahahaha)

In other news, Camden tried acorn squash, mum-mums (which after a few sucks on it, he actually ended up smashing and making a mess all over the table instead of eating it) and drank water from a sippy cup. He downed that water like it was going out of style. In the bath, he sucks on his wet washcloth so I'm sure that's probably why he didn't have any problem with it although it probably tasted better than the bath water.
On Tuesday Millie was diagnosed with double ear infections and conjunctivitis. She loves the Amoxicillin and calls it candy. She's feeling a lot better today and the pink eye appears to be gone. We're trying hard to get over this month-long sickness that has plagued our household. I'm praying we're nearing the end and can get on with our healthy lives again.

What kind of sewing machine do you have?

Lots of cute pics. Millie's pic looks so much better than she felt. The sewing was fun and you took to it like a born tailor. Dinner was wonderful and I bought everything to remake the yummy salad you made. I laughed and laughed at snuggie commercials. Then even men where bringing them to the cancer clinic. They are super long and a perfect weight. Now I'm eating crow and loving mine. Had a great time with all of you, hope ya'll enjoy Katie this weekend.
