Chloe and Blue

Chloe has been meeting some new friends!  My friend Paula has a yellow lab puppy who is about 2 months older than Chloe, and she (and her son Matt) brought their dog Blue over to play with Chloe.  At first Chloe wasn't sure what to think of Blue, but after a couple of minutes they were playing like old friends!

I think they were making plans to get together again!

Such well-mannered young ladies!

CHLOE!

We brought Chloe home on June 25th, but she's been keeping us busy so I haven't had a chance to sit down and update this blog.  Anyway, I'm posting some pictures so you can see how much she has grown in her short life.  She was 11.4 lbs. on June 25th, and she goes back to the vet on Friday.  We think she has gained a good 4 - 5 lbs. in the two weeks we've had her!  The picture at the top of the post was taken 5/26 when she was 2 1/2 weeks old.  The next one was taken on June 15th when she was 5 1/2 weeks.  The third one down was taken 6/26 when she was 7 weeks, and the next one down was taken the day after.  The bottom picture is from today, 7/7, and she is 2 months old today.

Puppies!

Fifty is Nifty!!

I'm still not very adept at this blogging thing.  Stop reading here and scroll down to the bottom of the post and read up for the right chronology.

Our Baby Chick Has Come Back To The Nest!

Last Friday we went to the university to move Rachel out of her dorm for the summer.  Her first year of college just flew by!  We're hoping the summer months won't go so quickly.  We will move her in to her new dorm room in September and then we have to move her out again in December since she will be spending second semester of next year studying in the south of France!  Goodbye, Pioneer Hall S286!

 

Lindsay Got A New Car!!

 Happy Mother's Day!

Yesterday Lindsay bought her first new car!  She bought a 2010 Honda Civic LX.  To say she loves her new car would be an understatement!  I think I'll just let the pictures tell the story! 

Quilts, Quilts, Quilts!

This is the quilt I started for Rachel when she was in 4th grade! I finally finished it. Lindsay is holding it up again for me.. sorry about the horrible lighting!

Here is the t-shirt quilt I made from Lindsay's Kappa Alpha Theta t-shirts. Lindsay is standing on the coffee table in the family room holding it up!

As some of you may remember, I purchased a sewing machine about 10 yrs. ago and signed up for a beginner's quilting class. I made a quilt in the class and then quilted it on my own, but I never finished it - all it needed was the binding sewn on. Anyway, fast forward to this past summer when Rachel decided she wanted me to make her a quilt for her dorm room, and finally, I finished a quilt! Lindsay had many t-shirts from her college sorority that she no longer wore, but didn't want to get rid of, so we decided to make her a t-shirt quilt. I made one other quilt right after the beginner's class that was supposed to be for Rachel's bed when she was about 9 or 10 yrs. old, but I never finished it either. So... I took the t-shirt quilt and the one I made for Rachel to be machine quilted, and I had the gal sew in the binding for my first quilt. I have now finished the t-shirt quilt, the one I started for Rachel years ago, and I am in the process of sewing the binding on my first one and then I will have finished the four quilts I have ever made!
