The Color Purple

Nothing like a rush order Homecoming dress!  This is for my cousin, Emma, in Wyoming.

 Oh how I love making pretty things!  This lace is $30/yard!!!  Totally gorgeous, though.

 Happy Homecoming!

At the Ballet

Have we been a little MIA lately?!  We've been having too much fun to blog!  Here is me and Diana at the Boston Ballet performing at Boston Commons last night!

Actually, we've all been pretty busy and exhausted.  Diana has 6am shifts, Jason's been putting in 60 hour work weeks, and I've been sewing like a crazy lady to finish up a 1800s gown/toga re-make for a Harvard professor (more on that to come) and a Homecoming dress that ships out to Wyoming tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Schmoopie!

Happy Birthday schmoopie duck!  I hope you're having a wonderful day!  I love you sooooo much!

Apple Picking with Grandma

It has become tradition that whenever a Grandma comes to visit in the fall, we take her apple picking!

Everyone has enjoyed chomping through our enormous bag of delicious apples!  Even I have been surprised on how perfect every apple looks and tastes.  Way to go, New England!

 

 

With Jason behind the camera, he has been disappearing from all our blog posts lately!  He is indeed present at all our family outings, whether you see him or not :) 

We sure LOVED having Grandma H here!  These boys love their grandma!  Thanks for coming!

Stop by tonight for some Apple Crisp :)  We're going out right now to build up our supply of brown sugar.  Can't get through the holiday baking season without it!

Ducks and Diana

 Our family has grown!  Jason's sister, Diana, got a job at Boston Children's, and we're happy to have her staying with us for several months! 

 I'm glad to have more female influence in the home (maybe the romance to action movie ratio will turn in my favor), and the boys just adore their "Aunt Nana".
