Thank you Kath for teaching me how to sew!

This fabric was purchased at Britex two summers ago when Evelyn was a baby. I can't believe I waited so long to use it. It's this fabulous Japanese brocade that is reversible, so Happy Easter Evelyn! This is the purple side. None of the white side pics turned out too well.

I have to say, although I am nowhere close to comparing to Aunt Kath, and I don't use patterns (cringe) it's so mind-releasing to get out my sewing machine and make something. The ironic thing is that usually it comes out when I already have too many things on my plate and shouldn't start another project. However for some reason it always clears my mind!

Thanks Kath for giving me sewing lessons in Kindergarten, altering dance dresses, and to mom for letting me go at it on your amazing Phaff for all those years! You both put a lot of trust in my crazy creative ideas!

Big boys

It seems so weird to me that when we first got these jammies from Sharon when the babies were born, I had Cash wearing a pair of the smaller ones - and I can't believe these boys fit in them already! I took them to the doctor for their one year check-up last week and when I walked in the nurse said, "Wow, they're big for twins!" I said I was pretty sure they were big for non-twins. Yep. Ashton is 26lbs and Phoenix is 25 and they're both 32". Basically 90-95th percentile for everything.

And yes, our house is over-run with high chairs. Along with about a million other baby items.
