Smith Family Weblog

A week later, I’m finally posting photos from the quilting weekend I had with my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law in Nebraska last weekend.

Thanks to Doug, Bryan, Jason and Josh, the kids were completely entertained allowing Karyl, Jess, Debbie, Laura and me to focus on quilting (and wine).

First, the kids. They guys took Ava, Olivia, Leo and Wyatt to the new play structures at the botanical gardens and to the children’s museum.

I hear the big kids had a great time, and despite appearances, the babies were good, too.

It does look Olivia was trying to call me, though.

Back at Smiths, we worked late into the night on various projects. I was thrilled to find that I wasn’t the only one who still had work to do on the quilt I started at last year’s retreat. All in all, though, we made progress on a number of projects.

Laura has better shots of our work over on The House on Hudson, but here’s a quick look at a project I’m working on for Olivia’s room.

It was a wonderful weekend–one that we’re hoping to repeat again soon. Thanks to Doug and Karyl for a lovely time, and to the guys for keeping the kids so happily entertained.
