Yikes Stripes!!

Gina brought jammies for all the kids. How cute is that? We all met in Ankeny IA for the weekend. Fun times for all

Go Twins!!!

Grandpa Fred Mieska would be very happy that the Twins won the Division in their first year in the new stadium. His Great-Great Grandaughter Everleigh is wearing her Twins pride and so is Great-Great Grandson Andrew. GO TWINS. And even better...the Homer Hankie is back.

Kiddos

Auntie Heather had her camera out and got some great shots of some of the kiddos. Claire hops a ride on the golf cart with Great Aunt Sue. She loves to go fast and yell "WHEEEEE" (Claire, not Sue)

The Great Pillow

My aunt Phyllis spent an entire day making me a pillow. It's a beautiful pillow as you can see. My mom was going to make the pillow, but then she decided it was too complicated for her to try. So, loving a challenge, my aunt Phyllis took on the task. The fabric was stretchy and it was thin, so it was quite a lot of work to make it just right. It was a big success. If I had to buy a pillow like this I suspect it would be quite expensive. If I had to pay Phyllis by the hour I probably couldn't afford the pillow!!

The pillow is to use in my bedroom to make the bed look "modern". I'm selling my house, so the "stager" (Heather) suggested lots of things to do to help make the house sell. The pillow was one of her ideas. Let's hope the house sells fast since I will soon own TWO houses.

Thanks Aunt Phylllis for taking your whole day to make my pillow.

Iowa Fun with GG

GG drove to Iowa this weekend to visit the kids. Here she is with Finn. ADORABLE. I guess Finn is happy to see GG and it looks like the feeling is mutual.

Luke riding a Squirrel???? Why?

Looks like Luke, Owen and Jude running FOR the water and not AWAY from it? Crazy.
