Hey Deer

Check out our house guest!

Last week Daniel brought this precious angel home from work.




OF COURSE he had already been named Bambi but that wasn't going to fly at our house so he became Notbambi...creative huh?!?!

It was love at first sight!

He did pretty good on the leash, following Daniel around the yard.

Notbambi stayed with us for one night. Then, he went to live at a rehabilitation center that will introduce him to other deer.

Notbambi was an angel and so sweet but he is a wild animal. For a week he had been living with humans and has become very accustom to people. This is fun for now, but when Notbambi is a grown deer he could be dangerous thus, the reason deer aren't good pets...so says my Game Warden Husband that wouldn't let me keep Notbambi.

Sew...Lately this is what's been going on.

I have this new Sewing/Embroidery machine sitting here daring me to try my hand at sewing again. I took a sewing class in High School, but that feels like ages ago. And with my introduction to Pinterst the temptation has been killing me. I found several things online that looked easy enough so I went for it. Here's what happened:










The burp cloths were first. They turned out well enough I guess. I was please with my ability to sew around a square. Then I decided to move ahead a little and tackle a bigger project from Pinterest, a nursing cover for my expecting Sister-in-law. For this project, I called in the big dogs...Mom! She was a huge help even though she says she didn't do anything. She helped measure and cut and hold off the dogs that were dying to be in the middle of the action. Here's the finished project.






If your my friend on Facebook you have probably already seen this with all my begging (harassing)for votes in the "Great Pinterest Challenge...we won by the way.

I gave this to Sunny at the "Big Reveal" party in Troy.

About this party:
Tom and Sunny went for their 20 week ultrasound on August 15th. The nurse was able to determine the babies gender however she didn't tell Tom and Sunny. The nurse told only their friend Sarah who went home and made a cake in either Blue or Pink for the party. Later that night our families got together for the reveal. Here are the pictures. As you can see Tom got way to anxious during the cake cutting ceremony and stuck his finger in the cake.

It's a GIRL!!!!
Maybe the PINK "S" should have clued us in...

Hoot and Nanny are so excited!!!

Mom's Mother's Day Gift

For Mother's Day this year Tom (my brother) and Sunny told Mom that she was going to be a Grandmother. I'm pretty sure that gift can't be topped. Claude was one EXCITED woman!!! Then they told us to keep it quite until Sunny was into her 3rd month...UGH!!!! That was killer, but we managed, sort of. Anyway, the news is out now...I'm gonna be an AUNTIE!!!!

Daniel's niece was born May 10, 2011...so we are figuring out this Aunt and Uncle stuff.
