Megan's New Dress

I made Megan this dress the other day and when she tried it on she wanted me to take some pics for the blog. So as per Megan's request, here is Megan modeling her new dress. I think it turned out pretty cute!

Picture of the day

My Dad just emailed my this picture. They took it the other day somewhere in the Philippines. I thought it was totally blog worthy!

15 Months

Yesterday my sweet baby turned 15 months old. I don't know if i should be happy or sad!! We made up the excuse to celebrate by treating the family to blizzards at DQ tonight!!

On the Run!

Natalie's been walking like a pro for about two weeks now. Here's a video for all of you who've been wanting to see her in action!

Crazy Hair

This morning when Natalie woke up her hair was sticking straight up.

I thought it was so cute and crazy!

SEW Busy!

During nap time this week I've been sewing and sewing! Natalie needed a few new dresses & skirts to spruce up her usual selection. I am happy with what I came up with. She's gonna be one cute girl this Sunday!

I've also cranked out a few baby quilts in the last few weeks. I love to sew and I am happy that I have a little more time to do it now that Megan is in school! And hooray for nap time!

School Days!

This morning we loaded Megan on the bus for the first time and sent her off! Since I (not Megan)was so nervous about it, I beat the bus to the school so I could see her get off the bus and walk her to class. She said the bus was totally awesome, but kind of loud! Megan's such a cute school girl! She's rolling with the big kids now...

1st Day of Kindergarten!

This morning was Megan's first day of Kindergarten! She has been so excited all week and we can't believe that her big day finally arrived! She was up at the crack of dawn this morning and couldn't wait to get to school. Natalie and I took her to orientation where we got to meet her awesome teacher, tour her new classroom, meet her classmates and hear all about what school is going to be like. Friday will be her first full day of school and of course she's excited about that!

We are so proud of Megan and know she is going to have an exciting upcoming school year!

Natalie's New Trick

Natalie loves to walk and she's figured out this little trick. The other day she spent a good chunk of the day going in circles around our downstairs tile floor. We just put our ear plugs in and let her have fun!

The Big D

I was downloading pics from my phone this morning and found this one.

So handsome, don't you think?

Counting down the days!

Megan is so excited for school to start next week! We've been busy buying uniform clothes, school supplies, a new backpack and lunch pale in the last few weeks. Every time we get a new outfit or an order of stuff in the mail Megan wants to try on her new clothes and model them for the family. She's been wearing her new backpack for a week straight now! This weekend Megan wants to have a fashion show! Megan's uniform colors are yellow, blue, and white. She's going to be one cute Kindergartner!

Econfina Creek

Last week Steen and Tanner went on a 4.5 hour kayaking trip down a section of Econfina Creek. They spent the day looking for and exploring around the different natural springs. They had lunch on one of the natural limestone banks and also did some swimming in the refreshing water! They had a great day and want to go back and do some more exploring soon.
