We made it! (a ramble)

It's been quite awhile since I've visited my blog.  The last 6 weeks have been a bit of a blur.  My sewing machines are still packed and prepared for a trip to Jacksonville, hoping for a decent trade on a brand new machine.  In the mean time, we've been doing lots of this:

That's a rocket ship, can't you tell?

Here is where C set up "school" for S.  We've since acquired an adult-sized kitchen table and chairs, thank goodness.

This is one of my favorite things, actually.  Above the windows in our kitchen we've installed an "art wire".  It's actually a curtain system from Ikea, but the clips are an easy way of displaying the kids art work.  It's since been filled with all kinds of creations.  Can you see the marsh outside?  Past the clutter on the deck???

Here is a better photo.

We look out over the intracoastal waterway and enjoy seeing boats run across, and storms roll out from the mainland. C thinks a pirate lives out there, and he'll make her eat grasshoppers if she doesn't behave.

This is a foggy sunrise, with C's bench in the foreground.

The kids enjoy seeing rain!  It's still a novelty coming from NM.  They've developed quite a little friendship over the course of this move.  It's definitely been a difficult transition for C, but having her brother around has helped immensely.  And on a totally random note, she learned to ride her bike without training wheels!  I just loved seeing how proud she was!!!
