Whew!!! I was so hoping that things would quiet down and slow down once we
got into our house. Oh how wrong I was. The same week we closed on the house
we got the news that two more grandbabies are on the way, due in November.
The remodeling, getting ready for our son's wedding, trying to get their
king sized quilt finished and just the regular daily routine has kept us so
busy. I finally got the quilt finished the day before we flew to Texas for
the wedding. Spent the week down there and had a wonderful time. The wedding
was absolutely wonderful.

Things just don't seem to be slowing down though because just when DH and I
think we are going to have an empty nest, one of the kids decides to come
live with us. Luckily we now have room in the basement for a small
apartment. So DD decided to move from Nebraska with her three kids to NY to
live with us. Her sister came for a summer visit too. So our house is full
again. The grandkids are great but not being used to having babies in the
house it's quite an adjustment. They are a GD 3, GS 15 months and GS 2
months.

Needless to say I still don't have my sewing room all set up yet so quilting
is still on hold for me for awhile. But when we get finished with the
remodeling, woohoo. I've still been collecting fabric when I get the chance.
One of the Wal-Mart stores closed their fabric dept. so I was able to get a
lot of fabric for practically nothing.

Anyway, I just wanted to pop in and say hi to everyone. I hope I can be more
regular in here soon but I don't know. The babies keep me so busy and when
their mom goes back to work, well my time will be even more restricted. So
happy quilting to everyone.

Hugs,
Mika

Whew! I just moved you to the top of my prayer list. My goodness. I
needed help with 2 babies at a time. It will be a very long time before you
complain that you are bored. Holding you close, Polly

Oh Polly what a true joy you are. Thank you so much. Yes it will be a very
long time before I have a chance to be bored. They are definitely a
challenge too. Somehow though, I think we will survive. Not for sure how
yet.

Hugs,
Kim

Thanks Sandy. It's good to be back even if it is just for a few posts. I've
sure missed all of you and the fun we have in this group. I'm hoping that I
will be able to start setting up my room sometime next month but that
remains to be seen. How are you and the family doing? I hope all is well.

Hugs,
Kim
