Hello

I hope everyone had a great Christmas... we had a very relaxing Christmas with no stress. I am sorry that I have not blogged that much this month, we have been on vacation in California. I have been busy with my business too.

I have to update you on my progress on my Atlas adjustment. Well, it has been over 3 months since the adjustment and I have had no need to visit the chiropractor. I have been pain free and loving it.

Jarrett will be turning 4 soon and says the cutest things. The other day he asked me if we were going to take him to Disneyland so his little Mickey could find his father, big Mickey. "Oh", to be young again...

Carissa is wearing reading glasses now. I wonder if we could have prevented it by not allowing her to read 75+ books a year. She has joined the choir at church and wants to play the violin next year. Carissa is enjoying learning more about cooking. She already makes a lot of meals by herself, which really helps her Mom out. Right now her ambition in life is to be a stay at home Mom and to take care of the house and children. I have no problem with that at all.

Shane is my love bug. He loves to give you hugs and kisses. He is so excited that he can read.

Nathan is my science and information guy. You can find him sitting in a corner reading a science book or listening to Jonathan Park. He is wanting to take guitar lessons in 2011. He loves taking pictures with his own camera. Who knows, maybe he can make a career from it. You never know what your children will do...

Brian is still the same but just aging..but we are all aging.

Making Things

Here is the first dress that Carissa has made on the sewing machine. She is a natural at sewing. I think that sewing by hand has helped her to be able to sew on a sewing machine. You should see what she has sewed by hand, without a pattern to follow. She is taking over my sewing machine. Maybe it is time to buy myself a new sewing machine...I would like a Bernina.

Here is another dress that Carissa made on the sewing machine. These two dresses look alike but they are from different patterns.


I helped her with the button.

Here are some hair accessories that Carissa crocheted. Carissa made the pink one for me.

I am sure there will be more sewing to come....
