The Finished Product

I'm happy to report I finally finished the baby quilt I started back in February. It turned out great (I think, at least). The hardest part was hand stitching the binding (the green fabric around the edge)... if you turn it over and look closely, you can see my inconsistent stitches. But whatever. It's my first quilt. I'm sure I'll get better with practice. :)

Darrell and Ashley's Wedding

Well, they are no longer The 'Soon-To-Be' Braces but THE BRACES now! YAHOO! All in all, the day was perfect. The weather cooperated (though it could have been a bit cooler). Darrell looked great. Ashley looked gorgeous. The ceremony was awesome (and so sweet). And the reception was a blast. We are so proud of them and were honored to be a part of their special day. Enjoy the pics.

Our new house guest

It's 10:30 PM. I go to let the dogs out for their last bathroom break. I open the door. I turn on the back light. And I'm greeted with this:

Pretty impressive, considering he did this in about 2.5 hrs. The web is literally 2 feet from the back door, completely blocking the stairs. This is actually the second time he's done this... the first time, Bruin 'moved' him before I got the chance to take a picture. We just left him this time. We figure, the man's gotta eat. :)
