Helen in Style

Here is Helen in some sweet overalls that Sarah brought her back from Guatemala. I think that she looks fabulous, Ryan worries about Helen's hairdo.
Now that Helen is pulling herself up, it is harder to get things done. This is the quilt that I started working on this winter. I think that it is going to get done before our love seat reupholstering project - things are not looking good for our love seat. Maybe if it was our only seat in the home we would work faster...

Aloha!

This week I felt like partying so we hosted a luau. Helen was very excited.

It is my birthday today, but we celebrated yesterday because Ryan is in the hospital today. Which meant one less day of the wrapped presents haunting me.Here are my presents. Helen's favorite were my new socks. I am really excited about the webcam. That means that grandparents and cousins all over the world can see Helen when we are talking on Skype. The book you see is fabulous. I have already learned all about lentils and lupines. The next chapter is on fava beans. If you have any questions about the previously mentioned legumes, you just let me know. I didn't realize that I was such a pulse fanatic until I paused and counted the types of lentils in my house. There are four: black, yellow, red and green. I am not sure if they come in any more colors.
