It was my Luke-a-boy, hunch, Yadie, Capuouano, Miser etc. 's birthday yesterday. My baby is 6 years old:-( ??????*sniff* As usual, we had a Wood here to celebrate with us. (BTW, Did you know an other Audrey Wood is a prize-winning bestseller children book authoress?)
Then today believe it or not. I ran in a race:o After Joe's meet they had a "fun run", where anybody can do it, mostly coaches and such. I ran the 2 mile path in 28:45.(No that's not hours/min.) I about died in the process but I made it to the end which was my goal. Right now I have a splitting headache, but I'm alive.
I realised the other day I never posted pictures of Civil War Day so I thought I'd grab a quick moment and post a few of the outfit we wore that day to make you all jealous:-)
First up, my baby,(of course.) Katie made this dress for her and I think she looks adorable in this picture. She really enjoyed the day and was a good girl.
Here's Mom and Susie. Debbie made Mom's dress it's a "Molly Gibson" style. Rebecca made Susie's a long time ago.
Here's Debbie with Joe's sword. She's wearing Rachel's authentic 1860's dress.
This is Lillie, Heather and I "crying" because our brothers have gone off to war. Lillie's brother wasn't there so she borrowed Luke for the afternoon. This is the only picture that I could find that has my skirt in it. Mommy made my skirt, start to finish, the day before. Thank you Mommy:-)
Our "Army". Katie made Joe's coat complete with brass buttons. Luke's is just his blue pants with gold braiding on the seams, a creation of Susie's.
We took my friend Heather and her sister Carrissa with us. Heather made her outfit, the bonnet too.
Aren't hats just wonderful fun? I love 'em and really wish they were in style.
We had an amazing time and learned a lot. The reactors there called it a "Living History Day", believe me, some days I wish I were living in history.
