Birthday week.

Dave's Dad celebrated his birthday on Wednesday past, and My Mama celebrates her's on the Wednesday to come.

The party for Opa Naus is today, and Karla Ann is up to her creative ideas (as usual). she has chosen a very unique form for the birthday cake. I made the cupcakes, and she.... brilliant she... is going to make each into a face representing a member of the family. AH. CRAZY. I have a picture of the "Family Tree" that i painted and attached to my large tray, incorporating natural materials (twigs) to elaborate on the "Tree-ness" of it all. Then i wrote out bible verses having to do with trees of wisdom, and the righteous being like trees by streams of water.. etc. These verses then became leaves on the twiggy parts of the tree. :) i'm super excited to see how it all turns out!! :)

anyway.... Dave and Julia are now doing chain maille, so i think it is safe to say: today is crafty-day!! :)
