A few things

I have purchased fabric to make Aurora and Morrigan semi-matching twin size quilts. The color scheme is turquoise and brown. I haven't got a backing solid color yet, I'm thinking I will go with a chocolate brown though.

Another note, I have started adding recipes to allrecipes.com the link to my personal page is: http://allrecipes.com/Cook/13578105/Profile.aspx I highly encourage you all to try the chicken pot pie recipe. It was so scrumptious, even the left overs were gobbled up.

I am interested in recipes for scones, the requirement is that they must be moist! I just don't dig dry scones. Bring on the heavy cream and raspberries, I'm making scones on Saturday.

So as not to be rude, I might want to introduce myself and my family.

I am Rose. I love most things domestic. I was born to the delightful land of Michigan(yeah Yoopers!!!) and have, over the years with an army brat lifestyle, landed in Tacoma, Washington. I have been here for eight years and counting. I LOVE the moderate weather. I don't hate the rain. Occasionally it is inconvienent, but the general drizzle of the northwest does not keep me cowering indoors.

I have two fantastic daughters. Aurora June was born in November of 2006. Morrigan Celeste was born in April of 2009. They're both a blessing to me and I love them dearly. Names.... yes I know what most people say when I spell Morrigan for them. They're usually like WTF? Then usually they ask how it's pronounced. Well here's the story, browsing baby names I was looking at Morgan and got linked (you know when you travel from link to link from page to page) I came across Morrigan, and it is actually a female name and it generally means goddess of war. I decided upon it because Aurora generally means goddess of the dawn. I though, "How quaint, they sort of have a theme. June was my late grandmothers name and I thought it just kind of rings. Celeste means heavenly, and it just felt right for a middle name. They are the epitome of opposites. Aurora's looks favor me and Morrigan's looks are received generally from her dad's genes. Aurora is and always has been big, smart, and precocious for her age. Morrigan is small and more laid back. Yet there is nothing like the two of them together. Aurora adores and protects her little sister and shares her beloved toys with her. Morrigan smiled first at Aurora and laughed first to Aurora, she also loves her big sister (the little stinker hugs Aurora and kisses Aurora more than she does her mommy, hehe). They're the perfect pair.

We enjoy living in Tacoma. The girls love the zoo, where we are members and the parks in the city. Aurora just started Head Start 2 days ago and she was dying to ditch me the first day, even though I told her I had to be there because her teacher said I had to for the first day. Day two (today) she blatantly told me, "Mom, I'm not going to cry when you leave me!" She said this right before we walked on school grounds. Miss independent had a very great second day at school and didn't have any potty accidents like the first day (too much excitement). Today there was a Head Start BBQ we attended. After the full two hours and a Caspar Baby Pants (yes.... "Run Baby Run") concert where she proceeded to turn beet red and dripping with sweat from dancing, she screamed for 10 minutes walking out for "Ms. Krissy" because I was soooooooo horrible to her for forcing her to leave even though it was over and everyone else was going home too. A day in the life.... eh?

This is enough for now, it's beddy bye time for me. And here's hoping there is no more nightmare of a mysterious "fox with eyes" appearing in Aurora's bedroom tonight. Last night she made her way to my bed and proceeded to wake me up and tell me to roll over to watch her while she slept because there was a fox in her room. Hmmm.... Goodnight.
