Visiting Madelyn Grace

Sunday we went to the cities to go meet the newest member of the Kube household! She was a week old! And the most beautiful little girl!

It's happened

I new this day would happen... I had been fearing it for along time... We were in Target yesterday and Ben took Ava to the bathroom. I proceeded to the ck out line and as I was about to call Ben to let him know where I was he called me and said "I can't find Ava" I then said .. "Are you kidding me!" he said "I wouldn't kid about that". I then walked as fast as possible to where Ben was and he said she walked into the women clothes and now he couldn't find her. I started yelling for her to wich there was no answer. I started running up and down the rows and no sign of her. I ran up to a target lady and interupted her helping someone else. She talked on her walkie -talkie thing saying what she was wearing, her hair color and age. She had me go to the front to make sure no one would take her out of the store. I can't even tell you how many awful things were going through my head. A lady at the front was already standing there and told me to come by her. She sent another lady to go into the bathroom and ck for a little girl. After what seemed like forever!!! I heard over the walkie that they found her and she was with her dad. I then found out a target guy found her hiding in the mens jeans. So many emotions went through my body. So thankful and thanking God that nobody had taken her and angry as all get out that she did that and was acting like everything was ok. How do I explain to a 2 yr. old that what she did was wrong and have it really sink in so that it will never happen again. We had a long talk the whole way home with lots of tears..... I hope it sunk in. I am so impressed with Target and how well they managed the whole thing! There is nothing like it... that feeling in your stomache that something awful has happened to your child. I hope that now we have this out of the way.... it will never happen again

My 1st project!

After looking at a friends blog I was inspired to make Ava a dress. I found some fabric that I really wanted to get in Perham and deceided it was time to give it a try. But seeing the fabric was very expensive I thought I would try my 1st time at this out on a less expensive fabric :-) I saw these polka dots and had to get it :-) My Grandma spent an entire afternoon teaching me how to use the sewing machine and helping understand the pattern. It's not perfect but I was impressed it even looking like a dress! Thanks 'A ' for the inspiration!

My little model

Lovin' the lake life

Last Sunday we went out to the lake... it was a little windy and by the time my parents came out we had just enough time to eat dinner before being poured on. But I cannot even explain how beautiful the lake was after the mini storm was gone. The entire lake was glass... and I wanted to make that moment last forever. We got the pontoon out and enjoyed every minute of it. The wind picked up an hour later but I am so glad we were able to enjoy the peacefulness of the night. Ava was able to get some fishing in again too!
