TBT: another annual Patton family photo

I remember my mom saying there was a lot of pinching and hitting and crying during this photo session and the next day two of us broke out with the measles or mumps.  #pattonmemories #ilooklikeanangel #robertwasoverthiswholefamilyphotothing #nanseyebrows #whatarewelookingat #matchymatchy

This is my living room wall.  I'm ready for my photo card party Thursday and Friday night.  Cards are $2 each and I sell reprints of all my photos.  I'm tidying up the place and making some treats.  #EPphotography #thepainterstapebetterholdthem #afewalreadyfell

It's Fall until the last leaf falls off the tree

These guys are the best!

I'm trying to decide which month this photo will be in the 2016 Boys of the Arlington Ward calendar.  #arlingtonwardfriendsareforever

Taken this morning walking to the subway

Dinner with foodies

Dinner was delicious.  And the $5 lemonade was some of the best I've ever had.

TBT: Patton family annual photo

We were heading out on vacation and the mobile photo studio showed up. I think Nan had forgotten to put the appointment on the calendar (not like her).  So that year's photo had the casual look.  #pattonmemories #siblinglove #missingteeth #didtheystealmisterrogerssweaters #freckles #iwillneverrunoutofoldphotos

Mormon Art Show

I'm selling photographs and photo cards at the Mormon Art Show this Saturday night -- 25% of all the money raised goes to scholarships for kids in the Boston area going to BYU/BYU-I/BYU-Hawaii.

A funny story

Sometimes when I got my parents' voice mail it was a woman's voice telling me to leave a message and sometimes it was a man's.  I had a feeling both their answering machine and internal voice mail were recording messages.  I suggested my dad figure this out knowing that he was missing messages.  He finally call the Comcast voice mail a few weeks ago and he had 75 messages!  Yesterday it took him an hour to go through them and they dated back to June of 2013.  Oy vey!  #pattonmemories #leaveamessageafterthebeepandimightlistentoitintwoyears

It's not over 'til it's over

Robes and Kim's wedding day at the Atlanta LDS Temple.  #pattonmemories #myfavoritephotoitookontheirweddingday #ilovecandids #familiesareforever

No cash? You have no cash?

I went to the MIT Credit Union today.  Not for cash.

Temple night

Tonight was the Arlington Ward youth night at the Temple.  Four 12 year old boys were there for the first time.  I wish I could bottle their excitement, testimonies, and awesomeness.  We have the best youth!  and we have a critical mass!!

Gather Here

I met a friend at Gather Here, a really cool fabric store in Cambridge, and then we had lunch at Whole Foods.  Mine was a $12 lunch.  Oy. 

I love making things.  And I can't sew things without fabric. 

It's still Fall

Bella's birthday

Bella moved here from Brazil a few weeks ago and her 16th birthday is this week.  We celebrated today in Young Women with pumpkin squares (made by me) and singing "Happy Birthday" to her.  We are all happy to have another Laurel!

Missionary mail

My friend heard about a missionary who gets no letter and asked if I would write to him.  Of course I said yes.  Today I mailed him these chocolate chip cookies.  #thatswhatnanwoulddo #iammormon #madeatmidnight #bakesomeonehappy
