Did you miss me??

I'm Back!! What can I say?? There hasn't been a whole lot going on around the March house lately. After the frenzy of the holidays, we kinda went into hibernation mode. Now that the weather has finally decided to play nicely, we're out and about more. Tom is back to bike riding and brewing up a storm. I think he has 12 gallons waiting to be bottled. Yum!

I managed to finish up this little lovely before school got too crazy....

Cute isn't it? I'm pleased as punch with it. It is hand appliqued and machine pieced and quilted. Funny thing, the piecing gave me more trouble than the applique- go figure. All I can say is that biases are kinda tricky... I have several more little projects lined up, but that school thing got in the way. I'll just have to wait until the semester is over in April. I passed my CSETs (the California Subject Examination for Teachers- California's answer to deciding who is and isn't a highly qualified educator under No Child Left Behind) so that's it for testing until after I student teach in the fall. Yea!

Tony, our first grader, is keeping us on our toes. It seems he has a thing for math. His teacher has him learning the multiplication table. And he gets it! Its like he can "see" the numbers and why they equal what they do. He's been adding and subtracting multiple digit numbers in his head for a while now, and he wants to know what comes after multiplication. Oh boy!

Meagan is our social butterfly. She is begging us all the time to invite her friends from Rosie's over for play dates and tea parties. This is her, all dressed up for the Valentine's Day party at Rosie's. I didn't get them in the picture, but she even has her sparkly "glass" slippers on.

So, there you have it, us in a nutshell for the past two months. Sorry it took so long Dad!
