We are really enjoying summer over here: sun, water, picnics, playdates... My girlfriend Leslie came over on Saturday to hang out with her daughter, Alyssa. The girls have sooo much fun together. They are just a few weeks apart in age & are just learning to take turns and share. It's so cute! Leslie and I got to sit on a blanket under the avocado tree with Iris and catch up with each other while the girls played together. It was amazing!
Iris is now 3 months old. It's hard to believe she has been with us that long, yet I can't imagine her not being a part of our lives. Here are some of her 3 month portraits. They were emailed to us from Picture People, so they are protected and tiny. That doesn't really matter because you can still see how cooperative and happy she is.
We hope you had a wonderful 4th of July spent with family and friends!!
I have finally completed some summer crafting that I have been dieing to do. I have a super long list of things I want to make, but time still seems to get away from me. I made these skirts using a 20 minute tutorial over at grosgrain fabulous. They were super simple and Lilly was excited to look like her Mommy. I also embroidered this little dog onto a kitchen towel, and have finally started Iris' scrapbook. I have been saving for a new sewing machine for over two years now and am deciding between a Baby Lock or a Janome. If you know anything about these two brands, please let me know. I am so excited to bring a new electronic machine home, but am overwhelmed with the shopping experience. Did you know that a sewing machine dealer is just like a car dealer. I got one lady to go down by $100 on the price just by calling her back and telling her what prices I found on the internet. Who knew sewing machines were such a racket?
