Happy Fourth of July everyone! I hope you had an opportunity to relax with
friends and family and enjoy celebrating!
We have had a busy last few days here!
Lots…and I mean LOTS, of fireworks!
The boys have been in hog-heaven shooting off their bag of 4th of July goodness. In the evening we have been able to enjoy big “professional”
displays at both our neighborhood and my parent’s. I had lofty dreams of a darling little family
photo with everyone sporting their red, white, and blue outfits…but trying to
organize this resembled herding cats. In
reality, the boys couldn’t be pulled away from the explosives, and Mary Kate
was less than cooperative posing with Dad.
Oh well, I tried!
As far as sewing goes, not a ton getting accomplished here
this week as the boys are out of summer school now and “nap-time” is looking a
bit different! I did manage to whip up
Kate’s little stars and stripes top Monday, but it was such a quick task! I am still working on a “top secret” project
when the time permits. I am so anxious to show you! But on to today's main attraction....
I wanted to give you a little peek at a pretty sweet little
birthday present my clever husband put together for Kate last month. Poor Kate’s birthday got postponed twice, so
somewhere in between postponement #2 and the real deal Greg decided to just go
ahead and give Kate her gift from him and the boys. I. Was. Blown. Away. In a very special little box was a
note from him and the boys and a beautiful pearl necklace. The very cool thing about this necklace is
that you can add a pearl for any special occasion that warrants a pearl! He had done some research on the internet and
discovered the idea, but could only find one jewelry company in Kansas City
that carried them. The woman that sold it to him explained that
her three daughters each were given one by their grandmother for their first
birthday, then grandma added to it each year.
By the time they got married they had a full string of pearls! So the first three pearls on Kate's will all be the
same size (you can choose different sizes for different dollar amounts J ). These first three pearls will represent Greg and the boys so Kate will
always remember that her three boys gave it to her. And the note….ahhhhh. Well, it talked about a lot of things I try
not to think about just yet….birthdays, first dates, marriage, etc). Dad really
outdid himself on this first gift…in his own words "home run!"
Have a great Friday everyone!
