New design

Inspired by my recent return to blogging, I decided to update the look of my blog. Thanks for the help, Blogger! I like the new (new? to me anyway) template designer. Some of the stuff formerly located on the right side of the page is now found at the bottom. A few things are gone. Anyway, enjoy!

And to add a little content to this post, I'd like to present below a recent cross stitch of mine, given to cousin Lisa (which she had framed really nicely). I like it!

My fingernails are bright yellow right now. Stephanie got some really fun nail polish called "mellow yellow" and I was jealous so she let me borrow it. We spent a good chunk of Friday hanging out and eating Dutch Babies (no we aren't cannibals, you should really visit the Original Pancake House).

Friday night was a fun evening at the Roberts with John, Susie, Emily, Rick, Luke, and Matt. Even though the deadline is technically April 18, Matt is pretty much done with busy season. He has spent the weekend sleeping and doing yard work. (It's amazing to me how much energy he has in such a short period of time once taxes are done). So he should be good to go to enjoy the end-of-busy-season orgy of drunkenness tomorrow night. Last night we hung out with Luke at our house. I shouldn't have been surprised that while I did something in the kitchen, they put in a Phish DVD.

I'm co-hosting the Roberts/Stimson family baby shower for Emily next month. The theme is the Very Hungry Caterpillar, inspired by a really amazing quilt that Susie made. We'll be having it at Amore and I'm thrilled to have cousin Lisa and five aunts as my co-hosts. It's my first time doing something like this so it's been a stretch for me. Fun, though! It's going to be awesome.

The end! For now!
