This is the birthday present I got done for my mother in law.  It was embroidered on a relatively inexpensive blanket from WM, with a pattern I found on line.  I have never really used my machine to its full capabilities. I am very pleased with the pattern of the Rottweiler I found.  It looks a lot like Max. 

Next, is the present for one of my three best friends in the world, Deb.  Its another WM blanket, but this one is really fluffy.  I need to get it dropped in to the mail really soon as this is already late... I hope this makes up for it and that she gets lots of good use and enjoyment out of it.

 

Its looking like the washer is going to have to be replaced sooner, rather than later.  It has started leaking, just a bit, from underneath.  After each load, I move it out and run a  mop underneath it.  So I have started "window' shopping for a washer.  I would love to run into a great deal like I found with the dryer, but I am not going to hold my breath. 

The kids have been in school since Aug 4th and they seem to be settling in well.  They have friends in the neighborhood, twin boys from two doors down and multiple friends around the corner on the cul de sac.    It is nice that they have so many kids living near us.  There just weren't that many kids around our house and Wellington seemed a bit more insular and clique-y. 

Greg is liking his job, I think.  He isn't gushing like he did with Shepler's (before MB was hired).  He has had to adjust to being a consultant  Not quite the working experience he is used to, but he is adjusting.  Aside from work, he is really happy to be able to watch his Broncos.  Me, I am biding my time for the Av's season to start.  Just about a month until pre season!! 

I guess I should let this go for now, I have to pick up the kitchen and I would like to get the water changed on the fish.
