Two Years
Next Friday the 22nd my littlest one will be 2! She is such a little cutie and I am very proud of her. I cannot believe it’s been 2 years already. The time really flies. Here’s my doll loving, girlie girl at just a few days old. Funny how she still has some of those newborn features.
Today was such a busy day. I took ALL my kids to the dentist along with myself. Luckily, they were very well behaved. Evie was the only one who didn’t have to sit in the chair, though she willingly wanted to take the x-rays (I didn’t let her). Then off to grab lunch and to my mom’s to eat it. Had the race to the elementary school to run Treat Day, which I LOVE to do. So much fun! Later after school ended and I picked up the kids we went back to school for our Movie Night. They showed “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”. The kids loved this and are now sound asleep in their beds. What a great end to a very busy day!

Easter that is. 
What did you think I meant? lol
So Easter… this year I wanted to make the girls dresses, matchy-matchy almost. So after making the tiered dress for Artiste’s birthday I wanted to make that for Easter instead of thehandmadedress.net pattern. You will just see how that turned out. After finishing the first tiered dress, which gave me all kinds of trouble, I couldn’t wait to try it on my little Evie. On it went. Now let’s just say it was a little revealing on top and she need a adjustment. Happily I went on, put the pants on her so I could see the whole outfit together. Ah they are cute I think (although they will NOT go over her CD and she will have to wear a sposie for Easter). No worries. I turn to DH who takes one look and says he hates it. To quote later “the girls looked clownish”. I am not kidding, this was the day before Easter. I completely lost it. I was quite angry. I decide I am going to ahead with my plan even he is not into the “boutique style”. I make my other DD’s dress. Ugh, the pants are a bit long. She would not, flat out refused, to let me try anything on her. Oh well, I think it’s just one day. I put the girls in their dresses/pants, boys all dressed up, DH and I ready to go. Wait I want a photo of the kids. I grab the camera. I take picts, they look great on the viewfinder. A second after taking the last photo my battery dies. Wonderful, if nothing I have these pictures. And we are off. The rest of the day was good and the kids had lots of fun. Now in hindsight I can say I wish I had done the handmade dress like I had originally intended. While the dress was adorable, I am in the midwest and boutique clothing isn’t really seen here much. Oh and the highlight, those pictures I took all turned out black. I have none of them altogether. Ah well, and so it goes….
I only have this photo of the two outfits side-by-side.
Today Is A Good Day.
Today I became an Aunt to a very cute little girl. My SIL and brother welcomed their little girl, Koplin Lynn. She is very precious and I await the time when I can hold her. I got to say a very warm congrats to the new parents before I had to head home to be with my own kiddos. I am so overjoyed to be a part of the parent’s and child’s life. I know they will make wonderful parents.
So of course I wanted to make something special for this new little one. My SIL love elephants. So I was on the look out for something pink with elephants. I knew I had seen something fitting and finally I found it on SM one fine day. I hope the new parents like these two sets I will be gifting them later day. There is also a hat and a blanket (of which is still incomplete).
Again, Congrats to my SIL & Brother!!
New Things
My little baby is not so little anymore. She is a mere 7 months old, still an infant. But today she completed the first step in being a bit more independant. She pulled up. She did it unassisted, holding onto the train table (which doubles as a coffee table). Everything is coming so fast. I’m left wondering what happened between Janunary when she was born and now. Isn’t she too little for this? She doesn’t think so.
