Becoming domestic

I don't know if this is just a phase or what, but I have suddenly had the urge to be all domestic. Last week I made strawberry jam- this is just one row of the jars in my freezer. I LOVE my mom's strawberry jam, and this was my first attempt at making it. I think it turned out really well! The other thing I have been wanting to do is sew, but I don't have a sewing machine so I haven't been able to. Yesterday my Grandma gave me my Great-Grandma's old sewing machine. I'm so excited to have something of hers and to have a sewing machine! I probably won't be making anything as great as she could for a while, but hopefully someday! Don't you think it is cool? I LOVE the color! (This picture isn't very good, but it is a dark turquoise color) Thanks for letting me have it, Grandma! Oh, and no post would be complete without some mention of Emma, so here is a picture of Emma in her jumper (another great gift from my awesome boss and his family). This was her first time in it and she wasn't sure what to think of it at first, but she really likes it now. I seriously have no idea how she got big enough to stand on her own and jump and hold her head up!! It's crazy! Here is a short video clip! (For Derek and Connie's kids because they think the videos are cool)


Also, Emma LOVES it when we hold her way up above our heads, so I had to get a picture of Jared doing that for her. I should have done a video, though, because she was squealing like crazy! It is very entertaining to watch.
