Airport Observations

Ben and I thought this looked helpful, you know, for when you got-a-go...

"Don't worry, guys, I got it...."

Hurricane Ike's Impact

Well, we're feeling a slight impact of Hurricane Ike in Greater Cincinnati:). Church (and therefore the Young Marrieds Class) was cancelled last night, so there went my already prepared snacks:). And because of all the wind, we decided not to update our landscaping yet(the plants may have been destroyed)... And our power has been out since about 2 PM yesterday... And work was cancelled today (which we found out only after we were on our way:) )....

But, as far as I know, my training trip in Washington, D.C. is still on schedule, so my wonderful hubby accompanied me to the airport. We're watching CNN and eating brunch.... this is turning into a fun, yet interesting, morning:). As a side note, WE'RE SO THANKFUL for our friends, Matt and Marcia!! Somehow, they have power so they offered to keep all our food so it wouldn't spoil. (Estimates are possibly 5 days without power.) And they've offered their guestroom to Ben! That's so nice!!

Projects...

Today's project: Making snacks for the Young Marrieds class.

On the menu: Fruit Salsa with Cinnamon-Sugar Tortilla Chips and Black-and-White Cheesecake Bars!


Tomorrow's Project: Landscaping updates...

Although, the bushes, don't look half bad framing the doorway:).

New Skirt!

This was my weekend project....

Awesome Sale!

Hancock Fabrics had an AWESOME SALE on patterns.... they were only $1!!. I got some pajama, fleece jacket, and baby shower gift patterns. I'm excited!!

Our Special Guests

My cousins - Scott, Michelle, Isaac, Autumn, Paul, and "Baby" Culver - came to visit us Thursday night/Friday morning. They had been on vacation in Michigan, New York, and Ohio and so they swung by Cincinnati on their way home. It was so fun to have them stay! Here's some pictures of the kids:).

The kids made a circus train.

Paul LOVED driving his trains on the table (and crashing them off the side:) ).

(Almost) Finished Pants!!

So.... I was putting the finishing touches on my p.j. pants by melting the ends of my ribbon drawstring.... and our lighter ran out!! Go figure:). So, I'll have to wait till we get a new one to be "officially" done.

Here they are:

I was pretty excited about the ribbon trim at the bottom:) .
