Wow, Where'd the Month Go?

Yes, I am still here. Haven't been though for a while, by the date of my last post! The month has been full. The beginning of August saw us getting Mina ready to go back to school and finishing up with her de-tasseling job. We have gotten started making autumn jewelry and beads, and we sent Mina back to school last week. Over the weekend, we got to spend time with family in Lincoln, and meet our beautiful, new baby niece, Zoe. It has been a LONG time since we had a new baby in the family (Mina was the last!), and Zoe is so sweet and snuggly and wonderful! Zoe was born on Mina's birthday, in the same hour even! They have an even bigger connection as they are the only girls in the family, and Mina certainly enjoys keeping her "boy" cousins on their toes with the trash talk and joking around. So that brings us to now, I am getting jewelry ready to go to Giltner next week for a 2 weekend show and Chris sold some Goddess beads to a gal in New Mexico yesterday. He made a beautiful hollow pumpkin bead last night, and has been working on some crow birdy beads for Halloween time. New pictures soon!
