General Conference and Sewing Adventures

Our church has a general conference that's aired world-wide for all its members twice a year and this spring we spent Sunday watching part of it on TV with our friends, the McCombs family. Kevin met the dad, Dan, at work and came home one day and told me, "Today, I met a dude with 10 kids." I was like, "Whaaaa...?" The great thing is, these are the nicest, most well-behaved, most polite, most helpful kids ever. I told Dan and his wife Kim that I'm going to take parenting lessons from them because they don't yell. Ever. It's amazing. And they have an 11th kid on the way.

So anyway, the McCombs are moving to Colorado this summer (and taking their four awesome babysitting daughters with them...and their other kids too) and Kevin is going to Saudi (obviously) so we decided to have one last huge shindig together before parting ways.

And after conference was over, I worked on sewing a tunic pattern that I was testing for a sewing bloggy that I follow. Here's the finished result:




Tomorrow we are going to SC until Saturday so no posts until after we get back. Toodles!
