Family Update:

LOTS going on, fall festivals, a Swedish son, growing children, hospitality, quilt shows and some challenging cakes!

Our most exciting news is that we have a grandson growing!!! 3 months to go!

We had a visit from our Swedish son (exchange student 15 years ago). It was so good to spend time with him!

Because we have a small home fall is a great time for us to practice hospitality.

We took the kids to their first quilt show and had a picnic.

Then there was this challenging cake made for a 50th birthday. The shoe is made of modeling chocolate and totally edible. I’m so glad I learned how to decorate cakes 26 years ago!
