Miss L's first sewing project

Miss L is always crafting and trying to make things for her dolls. I thought it would be a good idea to give her a sewing lesson. And what better way to start than a doll quilt...all straight seams.

I must say, this was her project, she picked the colors, she cut our squares, sewed the squares together herself, and tied the quilt herself. Yes, it did come with a lot of coaching...me saying over and over "Stay on the 10" (which is the 1/4 inch mark for my machine. We did some unpicking at times, but she did a really good job. The only part I wouldn't let her do at all was iron and sew the bias tape on. What do you think?

Happy Wedding.

This is morning of our wedding, May 2, 2003. Still happy with my choice.

The Dress still fits, but natually a few things have changed....namely 3 things.

Birthday Week

What a Fun Birthday Week we had. On Thursday I hosted Lil' G's playgroup, so Wednesday night Lil'G, Miss L, and I made shark/fishy/lifesavor cupcakes. We had so much fun. Then we got to celebrate with his playgroup friends Thursday morning. Oh, he loves decorating cupcakes.

Definite favorite gift this morning...Lightsabers... thanks Grandma Corinne. We have been watching the Star Wars trilogy the last few weeks. Lil'G of course wanted to be Darth Vador.

Birthday Breakfast...Waffles.

Notice the "3" headband on Baby's head that Miss L made for the birthday boy. Lil' G didn't want to wear it, but Baby B loved it.

My 3-year-old

Today my boy turned 3!!!. We love him so much, he is the happiest kid, and always up for an adventure with his sister. He is so sweet, he is my best child at sharing, and loves hugs. His favorite book is Happiest Mommy Ever, because he believes he is the reason I am so happy.

I love you Lil' G.

Easter with Cousins

We had so much fun with our cousin from Connecticut who came for their spring break. We went to an indoor playground, visited Nasa, Kemah boardwalk, went to 3 easter eggs hunts, made bunny cake, decorated easter eggs, went to the Alligator Park, and watched Star Wars. A very eventful and fun weekend. We were sad to say goodbye this morning. Lil'G loved finding lizards with his cousin Sammy and liked to follow his Uncle Jon around. Miss L loved matching her cousin Leia and doing girly things. Thanks for coming!!!

Cousins

We had a great time with our Indiana cousin this week. We had grandma, Aunt Diana, Madeline (7 weeks), and Joojie who loved being a big kid. We went to school park, Alligator park, Ikea, Macy's, Sams, launched water rockets, went to the riverwalk, picked blackberries, and biked around the cul-de-sac numerous times.

Come back SOON!!!!

Our new pet,,,Sonja

This little tree frog jumped on my windshield on the way home from our church party last night. I didn't know Texas had tree frogs, but they do, and I thought tree frogs were poisonous, but they aren't. Good things we had this giant red vines licorice container, which made a perfect habitat. Miss L named it Sonja....
