This is my handsome baby brother. He is on his mission right now in California, enjoying warmer weather than we are here... but that is okay. I just wanted to say I am proud of him and that he is a pretty cool kid, who has a pretty cool gal waiting for him.

So I thought I better start with a picture, it is more fun that way. I am a little bummed today. I was going to get liscensed to do daycare in my home, but I can not. I live in a Mobile Home zoned area. I payed alot for our house, only to find out I live in a mobile home... I thought Modular homes were supposed to be better than manufactured. Hold their value, resell better, be better quality... but I might as well be living in a single wide for all the good it is doing me. I could have a residential home for disabled or elderly (like a rise home or a beehive house) but not an in home daycare. Like I am a daycare center! I just want to watch kids instead of working outside the home. And I could attempt to change the zoning, but apparently that won't help and I still wouldn't be able to do it. How dumb is that. Here is the other factor, the largest daycare center in Vernal has just closed it's doors. It was registered over 100 kids. Now tell me where they are all going to go for care? That is right! No where. I am just frustrated with the whole governmental system. I am sorry for people that are thinking more government is the answer.

So, now enough of my rant. I am sorry for neglecting my blog. I have been slightly crazy with the holidays coming and going and all that is involved with it. I have been making two quilts, and although they are not perfect, actually far from it, I am almost done. I just need to sew the binding on to the edges. Then I will be done and can wrap them. I am also making 3 baby quilts for my two girls and the girl I babysit. I also need to start Lily's gift of a bathrobe and Anna's gift of a robe/dress that she can wear when she goes swimming. It is all good, and yes I will finish in time.

I hope the holidays go well for all of you, and I will post pics of the stuff I have made when I finish them.
