My crazy talented best friend Mere just sent Maeve these 2 handmade pillows for Christmas. I LOVE THEM!! They finish off her room perfectly. Thanks so much Mere, you're the best. Oh and p.s.- I may not let you off the hook about being a delinquent present giver now that I am reminded just how talented you are... (oh here are a few pics of Charlie's room for you to see too. Just in case you are in a crafty mood;) I still have to paint the star and shelving unit (not pictured) turqoise I think and my mom is working on the seat cover for the rocking chair but it's looking good so far.

The Murphy's come home

Trish, Jamie (aka The Man With The Green Hat - Maeve's name for him), Dahlan, Taylor and Jaidn (who we all met for the first time:) came home for a visit and we had the boys Christened together. They looked very cute in their vests and little hats that mom made for them. After all, it's all about fashion at a Chirstening;) It was so good to see them, even though the weather did get frightfully cold while they were here, what's that called again...Murphy's law?...

(0f course we didn't remember to get a shot of all of us together, we're photo idiots).

Charlie in his hat, vest and bowtie (made from one of Papa Art's old ties). That Nana Kath is so crafty!

Jaidn doing what he does all day...smiling and making everyone happy.

Christenings can be tough on a guy...

Uncle Bill's birthday and Charlie and Jaidn's first time in the pool.
