the farmhouse

Brother bejos is renovating a farmhouse.

Lots of potential.

Lots of work.

Lots of fun.

sweet treats

 

The very first ice cream of my ice cream season was a bit of a disappointment not because it wasn't good but because I ended up with a vanilla, not twist, soft serve with rainbow sprinkles. This is my attempt at looking really, really sad. 

and now bejos boy has a new favorite food

cousins

A whole lotta boys in our families. Bejos boy was in his glory

sister bejos

Sister bejos didn't get much time with us but we sure did spend it well and we appreciated the hours of driving she did for a short 24 hours in our company.

on the road

Our annual trip east started with yet another flying debacle. Rain in Newark diverted our flight to Ohio for a few hours, which prompted a 100 meter dash through the crowded and un-airconditioned Newark airport. Ugh.

Being in that crowded city airport confirmed what we have suspectd for a long time now; we are not city people. We need wide open spaces.

off my needles

This lovely sweater has been shipped off to the newest member of my extended family. What does one call your cousin's baby?  I know someone out there knows the proper term.

The pattern inspiration can be found here, but the actual pattern is on Raverly.com here.
