Stone house

We were playing game at dinner where people had to come up with something in a category and if it was original, they got a point.  Some of the categories were: foods, vegetables that start with a 'p' or 'c', occupations that start with a 'p', etc.  For every category Irene's answer was "stone house," as in, the stone house that served as a hospital around the battles of Manassas.  It got pretty funny by the end.

And who knew that Brita knew what wisteria was?  She cancelled me out on "flowers that start with a 'w'."  I need to stop teaching her stuff.

Foxy

This post brought to you by my frustration in coming up with pants for Foxy.  Luckily Brita changed her mind and decided we could just do a shirt for him.  Happy day.

Brita's birthday and baptism

Elias just deleted everything I'd written here.  Here are some pictures.  You'll just have to guess what happened because I'm not retyping it right now.  Grr.

And it's perpetually centered.  I kind of hate you right now, blogger.  Stop the centering.  That's how we got in this mess in the first place.

I made this dress for her the day before and day of her baptism.

 

We didn't get pictures of her in the dress the day of her baptism; we got them on Sunday.  We actually forgot on Sunday until after she had changed, so we made her change back.  And Elias was sleeping, but we figured we should take what we remembered to get.  Irene was making crazy faces in every picture.
But look what a cute family I have!
