to go shopping for bridesmaid dresses.

Megan and I watched “Thumbelina” on the DVD player in Amy’s “new-to-her” van which made our trip pass quickly.

We visited two bridal shops, then went to two different malls to look for dresses, and ended up with some ideas, but no dresses.101_2578 Abby decided to stay home with Daddy, which ended up being a good decision because it was a very long day for Megan and the adults. 101_2617

Last Saturday night, we celebrated Diane’s birthday101_2551 at our house.  After a good supper (cooked by John), we played Rummikube.  I had finally finished Diane’s gift, a scarf made from alpaca and silk,101_2564 but couldn’t give it to her yet because it was in the process of being blocked.  This scarf seemed to take forever to knit, but it was an enjoyable project.
