Last week we went on our first family-of-four trip to visit family in Tucson. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, and it was great visiting with our loved ones. I'm also happy to report that we all survived twenty hours in the car together! We tried to time the longer drives during naps, stopped plenty of times, and enjoyed listening to sing-alongs and read-alouds (courtesy of Barefoot Books). It was fun to do something different and get out of town, but I always enjoy coming home.
Of course I took some projects along for the ride, but I honestly hardly did any handwork at all. I was afraid that I lost my crafting mojo until I started looking through some of my mother-in-law's back issues of quilting/crafting magazines (my husband rescued them from the house before my FIL threw them away). Even though the magazines are anywhere from ten to thirty years old, there are some things that are simply timeless. I've been especially inspired by the quilted wall hangings and table runners. Perhaps there is some sewing in my future...

Ben had just stuck some wood chips in his mouth--the little stinker!
Matthew loved playing in his uncle's trailer. There were many tears when it was time to leave.

Looks like a wonderful trip! Those old craft magazines are the best. :)
I can't believe how big your boys are getting - it is so fun to hear about your families adventures!
Glad you had a great time!! Still very impressed with how well you did with the boys on such a long trip! Your hair looks so pretty!
