Andrea’s 26th Birthday
September 2008 After many weeks of waiting the day finally arrived and guess what? The gift she already had opened WASN’T her “real” present after all! What a fun day filled with lots of love 🙂
Making the Birthday Quilt(s)
June – September 2008 These show the process of creating Andrea’s birthday quilt(s). The gift was kept a secret much to her chagrin, but was sure to be a blessing in the long run!
Opening the Wrapped Present

Sketch & the Squirrel
September 2008 Not for the faint of heart! It doesn’t turn out well for the squirrel (poor little fella!), but Allen was VERY proud of his pooch 🙂 The other squirrel is a different one very much alive and happily Continue reading Sketch & the Squirrel
Star Search
June 2008 In search of a gold star for Miss Andrea… the hunt, the find, the giving of the star over dinner with the girls… all precious!
Cleansing
June 2008 Shot over a two-day period, this was simply us taking a moment to intentionally close some old doors to make way for what God has coming!
Andrea One Sunday

Andrea at Sioux
