I know it's been a week but my computer issues have been massive and annoying so I finally discovered that the local library (1 room and an actual card catalog if you can believe it!) has high-speed internet on their computers to the public so VOILA!!! I'll finally be able to post at least (hopefully) about once a week.
So Halloween was completely uneventful -- no trick or treating or even trunk or treating or a ward (branch actually) party. So Megan was dressed up, I took about 50 pictures (I'm not kidding) and that was it! So here is her royal cuteness:
and I have to say that yes, I did make her poodle skirt. And I'm in the process of making her a courderoy jumper for Christmas (although she may have to wear it sooner). I couldn't resist the fabric and the pattern.
As for the rest of us -- well it's been a trying experience actually. Don't get me wrong, being with my parents has been great and Megan has really taken to them. Being apart from Chopper has been hard, especially when our future is so up in the air. Life is a roller coaster for sure.
Hey but I've read some great books actually -- The Whistling Season by Ivan Doig. Is a really good read although a little bit wordy and hard to follow in some places. The frame narrative is confusing (and not really necessary) but once you get into it, it is really good!

Ahhhh, how cute is she!!!! That is such a cute and feminine costume! It looks like she loves the concept of dressing up then getting a basket full of candy (even if its the candy mom bought)!
Ok...I either did comment or tried to last week but my internet wasn't working too well so if I already commented...I'll just do it again :)
Oh my goodness!!! Love the poodle skirt!!! You are so talented and know how to do everything! How is life for you in Michigan? I loved that state when I was there. Hope you are doing well.
That is the cutest skirt ever!
