Life moves along

My parents are such amazing people. They were over visiting last week so I couldn't resist snapping a picture of them. They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on August 21st. My siblings and I have been blessed by their love and devotion to each other and to us. Thank you mom and dad for loving each other. Aren't they a cute couple? I love you!
The first day of school was on Monday. When Jacob saw this Star Wars shirt at Shop-Ko he knew what loves was at first sight. He has been wearing it for the last 3 weeks! Do your kids do the same thing? It is hard to save something so beautiful for a future day. Maybe he learned it from his mother who doesn't like anticpation.

Madeline wanted to make a new bag for school so she picked out some of my scrap fabric and sewed up this cute bag. I have horror stories of trying to sew things, ( hello swimsuit and blue striped pants that looked like a NY Yankees outfit) so I stuck by her and we finished it in 2 days. Good job Madeline!
This is a small stack of 70 temple bags. I am bringing 175 to Swiss Days this weekend. I was a vendor last year and sold 132 so I hope and pray that this year will be prosperous as well. It is always a leap of faith to invest in something you believe in and pray that others believe in you as well! Thank you mom, dad, cynthia, stephen, jacob, madeline, andrea, and denise for believing in me!
Jacob walked into our closet and pointed to Stephen's suit jacket and said "I want one of those!" You mean a church coat I replied. "yes, I see all the older boys at church with one and I want to wear one." So I was at Target and they had one.

Size 6 suit jacket $30
Red tie $6
2 Happy handsome boy priceless

I love your parents. Jacob looks great in his suit.

And as soon as I can save up a little money for a "splurge," I want one of those black&white print tagbags with the red ribbon. I'm serious.
