All Things Home and Family
We have been collecting pine cones for our friends who will be making wreaths for sale this season. The wind has been handing them down to us from the tops of our tallest white pine trees. To avoid getting pitch on our hands we wear gloves to gather them by the box full.Amber explained that… Continue reading Curing Pinecones for Seasonal Decor
Each fall we try to get updated portraits of the children. I stand and click pictures one right after the other until I have over a hundred of them. We chose various places to pose. And they horse around the whole time making jovial fun of themselves and each other to convince all of us… Continue reading School Pictures 2011
