a bunny for Lincoln Bear

Our kitchen before and after

Bill and I finished our kitchen! Well basically finished, we still need to install some drawer pulls and odds and ends. After many months and a very tiring weekend trying to get so many things in order for thanksgiving I am relieved something is accomplished. thank you to grammy f for the big help and my three blog readers Ashley Brown, Ashley Brown, and um Natalie?

weekend

hello

I had a good weekend. we ran errands, made cookies, worked on handmade animals and books, had a beer with sarah, read some harry potter, and went to endicott farm in danvers. I wanted to put pictures of the farm on flickr but our monthly limit is preventing updates. so here are some pictures on the old blog.

Lincoln's first halloween and first word!

We have turned our clocks back one hour and confused Lincoln's sleep pattern. Halloween is over and winter is moving closer. We woke up to frost Sunday morning and put on our sweaters. This weekend was filled with pumpkin cookie baking, grandma visits, grocery stores, a handmade pillow, a first word, our car inspection, Rockport Ma, trick or treating, cousins from Oregon, homemade meals, a long drive to western mass while listening to Tracy Morgan, a surprise party for my friend Justin, and a hawk eating a squirrel carcass.

Halloween was Lincoln's magic first word day! We were playing in his room when our cat Count Hot Chocolate Bear ran up the stairs to say hello. Lincoln became very excited at the sight of her and flopped his limbs around and giggled. Then he pointed and said"cat!!!" What a cute first word and on Halloween! I don't even know what my first word was.

Today is Sarah Smiths birthday!!! Sarah was my advisor/professor in college and now she's just my lovely book maker/funny drawing maker/beer and ice cream pal.
