An Unexpected Addition

Well, we hadn't intended to add another pet to the family, but fate seems to have intervened. Let me introduce Sherwood-so named because of where he is from-
As far as fate-we havent been for a walk in ages, the weather has just been too yucky. But Alex asked and it was finally not 90 degrees so off we went, in the opposite direction we normally go. As we're walking along the woods, we hear a noise-was that a really wierd sounding bird? Nope-thats a kitten meowing pitifully. Troy jumped right in to the rescue. Between Troy and I taking turns it took about 40 minutes to catch the little fellow, but we did just before dark and just before the storms started again. It must have been fate that we were in the right place at the right time to help the little guy. From the looks of him, he'd been in the woods for several days at least. We checked around the Lost and Founds and no one seems to be looking for him so off to the vets we went, where we found out hes only about 8 weeks old. Alex is of course instantly in love and has asked to keep him so-
We dont know where he came from or if he's ever had a home before, but hes doing good now. Its only been a couple of days and he's letting us pick him up and pet him, no problems and getting along with Chance just fine, still hisses at Kylie. He's still spending alot of time hiding but he'll get there eventually, he's very sweet.

A few more Creations

Just a few more creations.

Fashionista

Just a couple more skirts I made Alex. The bright patchwork one I also made for her best friend Mary and her little sister Eva so they can all match. The brown and pink one I love, though I might have gone a little overboard on the twirl factor, the bottom hem is more than 200" with more than 40yds of tulle trim and yet I look at it and think I might add a little something more. I've crossed over to the darkside.

4th of July

We had fun at the 4th of July Festival. Alex got to play on a bunch of bounce houses which are always a hit and the fireworks were fantastic. The next day we went and saw the much anticipated WALL-E (not a favorite) and went to the Incredible Pizza Co which is Alex's new favorite place. She had a blast riding on all the rides, including go-karts with Daddy and playing the games and earning tickets. She's requested to go back there every day since!
