Rock on!

I know you've all been anxiously awaiting news of our latest arrival. The day has come! Our family is (for now) complete! Yes, I finally finished reupholstering my rocking chair!

I'll keep it short, but I'm thrilled to have it done--I have a place to sit and snuggle Zeke (and his brothers who climb on me whenever I sit down); the mess of various chair parts is out of Zeke's bedroom; the burden of a massive project that's been weighing me down for months is gone. Bruce is glad too, because he won't have to watch the kids any more for lengthy reupholstering sessions.

Thanks to Deanne for all her many hours spent helping me (especially as we undid and redid several sections). Thanks to my friend Marcina and her electric staple gun. Thanks especially to Mom, to Grandma and Grandpa Payne who had the chair before me, and to Great-Grandma Oldroyd who had the chair even before them.
