Baby it's cold outside

Hey all.  I haven't posted much in a while, mainly because its WAY too cold to go out and do fun things.  No one wants to sight-see when it's 8-12 degrees outside.  It snowed lightly a few days ago, and for the first time it stuck.  The wind started blowing from the east just this week, and apparently it's made it the coldest winter for Europe in a good long time.  So we've been sticking around the house a lot.  It hasn't been bad.  Colin is working on his schooling, and I've been keeping myself busy.  I've been asked to make the baby gifts for expecting mothers in our ward, and there are a LOT of them.  The RS president asked me to make hooded baby towels, which are quick, easy, and cute.  Here are the first two I made this past week.  Pardon my lamp/hat combo.  I didn't have any tiny heads to display them on.  Also I promise our lamp has a shade.  I simply removed it to take better pics :)  



I got the pattern here.  It was simple to follow and really cute with lots of pleats.  

I also have been called to teach in RS, so I've got some more things to occupy my time.  I'm also going today to look at a dance studio over here.  Their unlimited classes price is 52 dollars/month which is a great price.  In Logan, all of the places were 45 dollars/class.  Hopefully it pans out.  I'm also on the committee for the Ramstein Bazaar, which is fun.  I'm one of the historians, which means I get to help take pictures, make the photo book, slide show, and other fun things.  I've got my first meeting on Friday, and I'm excited about it :)
