Easter 2012

I like this picture (even though the quality is poor). I think that Livi is thinking - I need to learn how to do that with my hair.

This is a picture of Liam's bunny.

Here Comes Peter Cottontail!!!

Homemade bunnies to make your Easter bright and gay.

Sewing for Kids

Thanks to my favorite blog for most of my sewing ideas. http://www.danamadeit.com/

The Layered Skirt.

P.J. Pants

Pattern from http://thesweetestpatterns.etsy.com

Summer Vacation Dress from MADE

More Doll Clothes...and yet Livi would rather her baby be naked.

Project Runway Doll

I have decided to go back to blogging. I want a place to put pictures of things I sew, craft or whatever.

This is an outfit I made for one of Livi's dolls. It was like I was doing this for "Project Runway". I must have redone the pattern 4-5 times and it is super simple in design. The real problem is that this doll started out as a boy. I am going to try to make something more for a boy.

This blog is going to be mostly for me to remember different thing that I make.

So enjoy Nancy, this is for you!!!!!!

I MADE A LITTLE PURSE!!

With pockets!!!!

Pretty...but functional?

I like the look of this bag, but will it ever be used???? It is meant to be a tote for groceries

For the Love of Livi!

The return of the blog: I must get back in the habit of writing things once in a while. Here are one month pictures of Livi Ellen. She is definitely different from Liam. Whenever I see her she is a sleepy girl. She has a much different look than Liam. I think she looks like Jessi. I have always said if you are going to have more than one child they may as well look different. I think her hair will be curly. Her eyes have a bluish hue, but eye color is a funny thing. It tends to change all the time. She certainly is a cute and has won my heart.

Silly! Shrimp Boy

California Dreamin'

My Mom asked me to post this video so our non Facebook family can see it. Enjoy! But read my previous post also. I'm in the process of cheering up.

The Party's Over.

One last nap and he is gone. I have loved every second of the time Chris, Jessi and Liam spent with me. I would gladly sleep on the couch until he left for college. My two favorite times of the day are when he comes down stairs in the morning and when I come home from work and I see their car. They made my life so full and all the energy in the house will be missed. But all things change and the good thing is that they aren't very far away. He has grown up so much here.

This is one of my very favorite pictures from Liam's trip to California.

Good wishes from the past.

I have been trying to find old school pictures for Beth. She has connected with some grade school friends via Facebook. I haven't found anything for her, but I found this page in the back of Chris's fifth grade yearbook. Jackie and Chris went to Saint Anthony's Catholic School for two years. This was their last year there and neither one of them where very happy at this school, but Jackie hated it. Jackie must have decided to pretend that he was Jack and write a note to Chris. I love that he tried to sign his name like Jack. Then Jackie wrote a note to Chris "To Chris, Good Luck in the future. Love Your brother Jackie. I love the K.I.T., the Beth L's Randall, Jackie L's Mary, and Amy L'S and that is all scratched out. Amy probably did that.

Meredith's Postcard Finally arrived.

The one picture of Meredith in India. Yeah!!!

Hat

Mother's Day

I have been trying for the past few hours to post this to facebook.  UGH!

It finally showed up on facebook.

My Night with the Six Fingered Man, Lenny, and Mr. Burns.

Beth scored free tickets to see "Unwhigged & Unplugged - An Evening with Christopher Guest, Michael ...

It was unbelievably good.  Meredith, Beth and I went down to The Jackie Gleason in Miami.  They are so talented and I have had a huge crush on Harry Shearer forever.

I thought the video was not any good while at the show.  It looked all pixelated.   It is not great but it looks better on the computer.

It's Dancey Dance Time

Beth's Birthday

I have got to hurry to get this up before midnight.  I wanted to say Happy Birthday to my first born by scanning pictures on to the blog, but like every thing I do I get distracted and it takes twice as long as it should.  I would like to get these in the right order.  P.S.  I have given up on the order.  

Just Happy Birthday Beth.  I love You. Mom.

Beth with her Daddy

Now I just can't stop.  I love this picture.  

This is terrible, but I think Beth is 7, Amy is 5, Jackie is 3, and Chris is 1.

This picture is Beth and Grandma King. On the back she wrote "My first Grandchild" and then inserted the word Great.  Then she wrote "Grandma and Beth O'Neill 1966 Summer"

This is a wonderful moment and I am glad it is in the computer and safe from anymore aging.

Here she is 2 1/2 months old.  Too cute!

One of my very favorite pictures of Beth.  This is her first Christmas.  

We lived in Broadview, Illinois.  It is 1965

This was Beth's Second Birthday.  5/2/1967.  I was pregnant with Amy.  We Lived in

 East Moline, Illinois

Peggy and Beth on Mt. Tamalpais.  I think. 

I am wrong this probably across the Golden Gate Bridge 

This is out of order.  The is second grade in Gretna, La.  I made the dress.

First day of Kindergarten Costa Mesa, Ca.  1971
