So here are some pictures recapping what we have been up to lately. 2 or 3 weeks ago Steve graciously helped me plant a garden on the side of our house! We planted pumpkins (wouldn't it be fun to have home-grown pumpkins in the fall?), okra, tomatoes, squash, and zucchini. So far the tomatoes seem to be struggling a bit, but everything else is popping right on up. It's fun to go water it and see what has sprouted. Hopefully I'll be able to take some pictures of our fresh vegetables soon!
Steve's birthday is April 20th, and every year his request is the same-an uninterrupted weekend at the farm. We went this past weekend and had such a great time! I think this is truly where Steve (and AW) is the happiest. The weather was amazing-warm but no humidity so we spent lots of time outdoors. I went turkey hunting with Steve Saturday morning which was a first. We didn't hear anything, but watching the sun rise in the woods was pretty incredible. We ate at Red's Little Schoolhouse (if you are from Montgomery you know what I am talking about-yum!), cooked out hamburgers and steaks, and ate lots of cake! We were glad that Pop, G, and Uncle B were there to celebrate with us. Happy 29th Birthday Steve!!!!
AW got Pop to drive her (and the dogs) in the Ranger over and over. She's fortunate that her grandparents are such good sports!
This is my latest smocking project. I really like the lavender fabric. I am looking forward to seeing it on AW!
And today before Mother's Day Out we did a little photo session. This is a dress my grandmother made for me, and I LOVED how it looked on Anne Wesley! I have an extremely talented grandmother and am thankful to have all these adorable dresses. And, if you are super observant you may notice that AW is sitting on her very own BIG GIRL BED! We have had some sleep issues lately with AW waking up mulitple times during the night. So we figured while things are already crazy, why don't we try to make the switch. She has done really well and seems to like her new "bed". Don't worry we'll get a bed frame eventually, but for now we are just testing things out with the mattress on the floor. She has especially enjoyed jumping on it!
Happy Easter everyone!
Those pics of AW in the bunny dress are adorable!! Precious dress, precious little girl!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet yellow dress! And good job on the smocking. Did you put the dress together by yourself too or just smock???
ReplyDeleteAmanda, just the smocking. I so wish I could put it together, but I don't think my sewing skills can handle it. A lady from our church puts them together for me. Hope you are feeling well; getting close :)
ReplyDeleteAgh! I didnt even know about the move to the big girl bed! Noooo- she is not allowed to be old enough for that!!!
ReplyDeleteNice job on the smocking!
