I have become my mother...



Its official. I think I have become my mother. Atleast when it comes to sewing. I can remember growing up and having my mom make me clothes. I also remember many nights when she would stay up til the wee hours of the morning finishing said clothing. I never appreciated it then, until the night before we were to leave on vacation, I was up until 3am finishing a mei tai carrier for Emily. I used the scanditute pattern found at www dot scanditute dot blogspot dot com. I love the pattern!!! I have included pictures below to show the finished product. Emily seemed to like it too!

We had a wonderful vacation -- Family Week at Jumonville. This is our 3rd year going and has officially become a family tradition. The kids adjusted well to the change in sleeping patterns/accomidations, etc. Emily has started to cut teeth number 4, 5 and 6. I can't believe she is almost a year old! She only wants to do things that her brother is doing. And bless Dekker for being so patient. He gets frutstrated at times with her and lashes out a little, but for the most part he tolerates Emily quite well. He sometimes even gives her hugs and kisses without any prompting from Mom and Dad!
