Cousins

A few weekends ago April and Jesse were at my orchard with their munchkins for our ‘Apple Blossom Days’.  A wonderful Matilda Jane Representative was there along with Karmen Linder of Karmen Linder Photography.  During Karmen’s lunch break we quick through the five girls into some Matilda Jane clothes and this is one of the shots she snapped!  Just thought I’d share with you some cute cousins all together at the orchard.

Fall in Love with Handmade Urban Craft Fair

Hi family!  I hope you all had a nice January and are enjoying February so far.  I just wanted to share with you all that I'll be vending at the 'Fall in Love with Handmade Urban Craft Fair' in Oshkosh tomorrow.  I'm pretty sure most of you know that as part of my 'job' I create things to sell at various shows and online.  Well - this is the closest I've come to most of you all and thought if you were looking for something to do you might want to stop down and check it out.

 

Here's a sort of blurry phone picture of what my booth display looked like at the show I was in last weekend - It wil be pretty similar to this tomorrow.  Things got a bit crowded in my schedule this week so I haven't had much time to create too many new things.  Luckily I have quite the inventory already :)  

Anyway - I hope to see some of you at 

the Fall in Love with Handmade Urban Craft Fair tomorrow!

Announcement from David and Kerry

The kitchen of 810 Grant Street has always held a special place in my heart.  One of the recent happy memories in that kitchen happened in March 2011.  My mom was set to provide dinner that night at Grandma’s—she planned Papa Murphy’s pizza, but we also brought along some bottles of bubbly (sparkling juice that is) for a special announcement. The smile on her face when we told Grandma she would see another great-grand baby in 6 more months will never be forgot.  Grandma was the first outside the immediate family to know about Kerry’s pregnancy. 

AJ (or OJ as Grandma liked to sometimes call him) was born and had the pleasure of being held by Great-Grandma many times.  Sometimes, she wouldn’t even let him go.  J

That night at Grandma’s prompted another dinner.  This time, though, it was with my parents.  The dinner was last month in the beginning of December.  Under the disguise of celebrating “quitting from MTM,”  I told my parents Kerry and I wanted to bring up Papa Murphy’s pizza to celebrate.  We also brought up pictures of AJ – most of them were ones we took for our Christmas cards – however, when my Dad got to the back of the stack, he found this one:

Then this one:

Needless to say, the traditional pizza dinner carried on even if it was not at 810 Grant Street.

Well – as Kerry leaves the first trimester – we pondered how we wanted to let people know.  I then thought of this blog Kim started and thought it was only fitting that the kitchen of 810 Grant Street be the first (outside the immediate family) to find out about the newest great-grand baby in the Landwehr clan!  Kerry’s due date is July 20^th. 

Combine this great news with putting our house on the market, moving to a new city and starting a new  job … I know there is a candle burning above for us!
