He has really surprised us. He was a baby one day and now he's a big boy! He crawls around the house and plays with the toy tractors. Pretty amazing. He is 9 months old already.

As I told Dave I am so excited to win. Thanks everyone!! I had started working on a Sempervivum wreath last fall but the cats have tore it apart so my winnings will go to repair it.

Congrats to all the winners!!!

Mine is a very small wreath, so doesn't weight that much. But the bigger ones can get quite heavy. They are such beautiful living art when used that way.

Congratulations to all the winners!! Will be fun to see what everyone picks.

Dave, love the Wisconsin sweatshirt! I actually work in Oshkosh. And I see Little Man has an airplane on his shirt. Was that coincidence or planned? (Since Oshkosh is home to the world famous *EAA Convention...I used to work there, by the way.) And I bet Trish made his adorable hat too. Lovey dubby Beautiful family. Really enjoy the videos. nodding

Thanks everyone for making Semp Week so much fun! Hurray! Hurray!

Congratulations winners!

It's always fun to see the Whitinger children. Little Man is really becoming accomplished at announcing winners. And I can't believe how big the littlest Whitinger is!

It took a long time to play the video for me this time, too. The suspense was a real nail-biter! Hilarious!

Congrats to all the winners!

Thanks to all who contributed in making this a delightful drawing!

It was a coincidence, but we have lots of airplane stuff around here because my dad is a pilot and brings his plane every time he comes to a visit, and gives the children rides. So they all love airplanes, of course. When I was younger we used to attend all the shows including Oshkosh. They were a lot of fun.

Here's a photo from 13 months ago:

I believe his oldest sister made that hat. Lovey dubby
