Happy Holidays!

Being from a family who used to make suckers for a living, I thought that it would be fun to dig out the old molds and make candy for Christmas. This was the first attempt.

Things went much better after that, and the kids all had fun seeing how the suckers were made.

We hope that you all have a Merry Christmas!

Jack is excited, how about you?

Another member of the family is our dog Skiff. He is a 3 yr old black lab, and quite smart. Val loves to teach him new tricks-Most of which can be found here (along with all of our other videos): http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=valeddins&search=Search

Its all about ME

I've just been informed of a give-away. A friend of mine showed me these cute patterns on Thimbleblossoms.com and she is giving away some of her new patterns if you post a comment on her blog. I would like to get into quilting more. This is one Alicia is working on:

So, a little about Megan Eddins:

Right now I am teaching piano lessons, being secretary for our business, and of course fulfilling the role of mom with our 6 mo. old. Here I am 81/2 mo. prego- Come on, I can hear you thinking it so just say it. Yes, I look quite small, lucky me. We were in Moscow for Faren's (Val's bro) graduation from law school.

Family reunion this summer in Montana. I really enjoy camping, or just being outside when the weather is nice. It has been fun tending to the yard and its many flowerbeds. Although, they are a tremendous amount of work, difficult when you have a belly all spring.

Canoeing Labor Day weekend in Driggs. We saw a huge bull moose on the bank. It is so fun to be out enjoying nature and good weather. Jack was a good sport.
