Gillian made Juniper a little frock with matching hat & purse from a petticoat she'd worn while doing historical reenactment at Mackinac Island "way back" in the 90s. While admiring J I told the kids that Nonnie would just die when she saw the outfit. When my mom came into the house Bruce ran up to her, pointed his finger, & sternly told her she would not die :)
Speaking of "to die for" ... B has made comments like that before. Gillian told B we were going to dye my hair. Bruce was very quiet for awhile and then said he didn't want mommy to be a skeleton. It actually took us about 10 minutes to figure out what he was talking about :)
Note how B & J prefer to spend graduation ceremonies. Poor J hasn't been able to stay awake during a single one. I tried very hard to get a pict of both kids together in their nice clothes. Sort of succeeded. Bruce even held her hand for a split second. Actually he's become very good at holding his sister's hand when I tell him to like when we're walking in the park or crossing the parking lot.
Bruce in position to advidly stare at a butterfly fanning its wings in the butterfly house at the BioPark. Tried for a pict of both kids watching but as soon as J saw the camera she got up to vamp and ruined the cute shot:)

I got a spinning wheel for Mother's Day & I took a spinning class. I've made a few bobbins & started making an apprentice afghan. My yarn is really inconsistent but I am enjoying the process & the yarn quality is improving. The picts below are my very first skein of Navajo 3 ply. I plyed it on my wheel although I'm curious to see how well I can Navajo ply (uses a single bobbin of yarn rather than 2 or 3 bobbins) on the drop spindle.
