We Like To Eat

Who doesn't?!?!

Today we would've been in Quartzsite, Arizona for the RV-Dreams boondocking rally. 

We would've been learning all about a different style of camping.

We would've enjoyed the sunny afternoons.
 
We would've played in the desert sand.

We would've camped alongside like minded new friends.

BUT, we like to eat...

Almost immediately after posting my last update we received a couple of work orders.  Not just any work, mind you.  The orders we got call for some tricky engineering.  We could've finished up on time and still been able to go to the rally.  Then we got more phone calls and really got dumped on!  Not just one, but five more orders.  Each one is unique.  Each one takes more than a week to make.  Their time frame calls for one to be delivered every two weeks.  Plenty of time, normally.  But not if we want to take two weeks off.

So the decision was practically made for us :-(

On a happier note, Emmett turned one year old last week.  He is now officially walking too :-)  Man, we miss this little guy!

Birthday Boy!!

Also, my mom is such a talented quilter!  She has won awards in her local county fair and gone on to win ribbons at the California State Fair!!  I know how to use a sewing machine.  I learned back in the day when I played 'gopher' for my mom as she made something with her sewing machine.  She made a quilt for Emmett back in December.  And just yesterday Alex and Kana received a quilt for Benji.

And like any good Oma, I must also share of photo of Benji.  He's already being put to work helping Dad wash the car... LOL

looking cool in his shades!

So, although we're both bummed that we can't make it to the boondocking rally, we're happy that we'll have a well stocked refrigerator :-)
