I really am sorry that I don't get here to post anymore. The boys keep me very busy, especially now that Drake is soooo close to walking.

Drake turned 1 July 13. We had two little parties, one outside at my aunt's house :

and one at my SIL's :

Zane will be 4 next month. He got messy eating cherries at my aunt's house :

LOL More random pics of the cuties :

Yes, I had to post the "spaghetti face". LOL

DSW is working hard, 4/10 that normally ends up being 4/13 or more. He expects to be working his off days soon, as a huge shipment of computers just arrived at the college with more to come, to upgrade the labs. I spend my days taking care of my boys, cooking, of course, though not the same as I used to. Now I cook what I have time to. We have a garden this year and are getting tomatoes, all kinds of peppers, corn, beans, onion, garlic, okra, cucumbers, all kinds of squash/zucchini. That has been an adventure. I've canned some jelly, looking forward to canning veggies and salsas as the harvest rolls in. I am learning to read tarot and enjoy reading my faerie cards, as well. Am still persuing bellydance and Pilates as I have the time. :) DSW is still making chainmail and I've learned to make some hemp jewelry, maybe one day we'll set up at Ren Faires, and I can read tarot and sell my herbal balms and hemp jewelry, just as a part-time buisness. Not sure that will happen but it's good to have a dream/plan, right?

Oh Dawn it is so good to hear from you! I miss you and your stories of DSW and the boys.

Can't believe how big Zane is, four years old, how did that happen, and he is so handsome!

Then there is Drake..... OMG! I could grab those cheeks and kiss him crazy! Beautiful babies.

.....and yes it's good to have a dream.

Keep dreaming, keep planning and keep in touch.

The family is looking great! Good to hear you are in good spirits! Hopefully DSW is getting some overtime pay for his extra hours?

painted picnic table update (pic heavy)

Thanks everyone! :) The paint was some already mixed walmart paint. Color creations, Gloss Banner Red. It's what the dude told me worked best for outdoor furniture. Not sure what Michael's is. But, Hobby Lobby sells fabric, crafts, decor. Can find some pretty cute stuff, at great prices. Here's another pic of my "baby" :) He's off to kindy in Aug, and my heart breaks every time I think about it. We packed up a lunch in the picnic basket Friday, and went to the park to hang out. We weren't there 5 mins, and I found myself sobbing like an idiot. It suddenly hit me that my older boys would be out of school in two wks. And that was probaby the last "park day" with a little guy.(sure we'll be at the park a million times more. But, it'll be different. They'll be FOUR, lol) I've been a stay at home mom, taking my babies to the park for 12 yrs. Now what do I do?? :( He's sooo excited and ready, but am I? sniff, sniff. He's not only my paint buddy, but my shopping pal, lunch date, and he's awesome for naptime cuddles. Where does the time go??

That looks fantastic! What a transformation from the original post. I love the drama of the round table, tall arrangement in the silver vase and the mirrored screen. That really stops the eye and creates that foyer feeling she wanted. Did she change the pictures on all her listing sites? She should.

Hi again, Thanks so much for the measurements! I think we can work something like that in our smaller bedroom and still have enough floor for his bed.... I will have to measure tomorrow when I don't risk making noise near the bedrooms (our sons sleep with their door open). He still wants to sleep with his brother, but they have made a few comments about having their own rooms soon. We can relocate the computer and set up the room as originally intended for him. Thanks again!

Dawn, welcome back, it's so good to see you.

Your boys are just so darned handsome, both of them. I especially love that picture of Zane with the white stripes on the arm of his shirt, but he looks so.....grown up, somehow.

Yes, it's good to have a dream. Nothing would happen at all without a dream.

Enjoy all those fresh veggies, somehow I just know your boys will.

Awwwww...what adorable boys you have!

Glad you posted an update, we've missed you around here!Sounds like you're keeping busy. I have always wanted to learn to do chain mail. Sheesh! I am jealous!

(Pam, I can't figure out everyone's the abbreviations, either. Don't feel like the Lone Ranger!)

Oh Dawn, so nice to have you post again and to share pics of your two beautiful boys. That Zane is four and Drake a year old already is hard to believe. I've missed your posts, especially your DSW. Have always loved the way you refer to your husband.

Hope you will find a little time to spend with us as the boys get older.

Hey, thanks for the DSW translation. I think Zane looks like Harry Potter!

They're awfully cute! It's hard to believe Zane is 4. He looks so much older and studious!

Hi Dawn....nice to see you drop in with the photos of your two cute boys! I can imagine how busy they are keeping you. Good to hear that you're growing some of your own food. That's an ongoing chore but isn't it fun to go outside every day and look to see what has grown since the day before!

Bellydancing and Pilates should really keep you in shape, if running after your two little ones doesn't do the job. Good luck with your hobbies too. Be nice to make a little business on the side with the things you like to do. Come back soon and keep us up to date!

Hi Dawn---I think I remember you from another forum. I must, because I knew what DSW meant... and I remember Zane being an infant. How time flies! And how gorgeous both of your boys are! I enjoyed the pics.
