What we've been busy doing


I volunteered to make holiday cards for Nebraska Friends of Midwives group to send to the Nebraska Senators. A fun project, but time consuming since there was 50 to make, plus addressing the envelopes. I'm glad those are finished.





I've been looking forward to having a good excuse to spend some time baking, and today I baked 8 loaves of bread, (we ate one for lunch) two loaves of cinnamon bread (we ate one for snack) and 3 pans of cinnamon rolls with carmel goo on top. I've also got a batch of granola in the oven baking. Anyone want to come over?
Last year when Jana was home on break, she decided the bathroom needed an overhall. She got the walls painted, but we never got some of the finishing touches that we'd planned to do. So, yesterday she said "How about if I finish the bathroom!) I found it interesting when I went back & looked HERE that it was exactly 1 year to the day! I never posted any pictures because the project wasn't finished, but maybe this year you'll get to see the finished project. The little girls were great helpers & found the right letters, painted them & handed them to her.

  2. Cards look great. Bread good enough to eat. We need to start making some here. Looks like your having fun with you bathroom now. We enjoyed both having a day off together here, made homemade pizza for lunch, played some games and started to work on the basement.
