catching up

I've been so busy driving people from one event to another that I haven't had time to take or post pictures of anything that has been going on, but fortunately, Grandma Mort is better equipped to record my life, and is willing to do so!

Here are Mackenzie and Dan in "The Man who Came to Dinner. Dan played the grumpy dad of the family, and Mackenzie was the patient wife. hmmm. the kids at Latin School did a great job with this play!

Karen had grandparents day at school last week, here she is with Grandma Mary and Grandpa John:

the kids used to call John "Grandpa Mary" because they call my parents "Grandma and Grandpa Mort". So complicated!

I also have another kid around here somewhere, but Sam has been laying low, so I don't have pictures of him right now. He's getting ready to go to Philmont with some friends from scouts. This is a high adventure backpacking trip to New Mexico...I think maybe he needs to get out there and do some stadium steps with that backpack on if he's going to get up and down that mountain!

I've been doing lots of sewing but haven't had time to take any pictures (or more appropriately, haven't taken the time to take any pictures). Also a little spinning, some knitting, and I discovered freeform knitting and crochet, which might be my new favorite thing to do if I can figure out what to do with the things I have been making!
