My creations: an apple tree, the original gnome minus the marge hat (K pulled it right off), my half snail half rat, and my latest a pregnant hippie troll woman, and my pumpkin. I am slowly working on my autumn nature table. This craft is needle felting, taking wool roving, shaping it and holding it in place by stabbing it over and over with a needle.

Last night the whole family headed up to the courts, even lily. Here is charlie working on his serve, he would get the balls on his own and serve it from his back line to adam's back line, no joke, adam can verify.

His one handed forehand...he whacked this ball clear over the net.

His impressive running forehand, and Kate in the background chasing after balls holding her racket....

I am a pretty lucky woman....an involved husband, wonderful children, finally a hobby I feel good at. And I feel like i have really learned to let go the things in life that are out of my hands...
