August & September

Has it really been a month? Well 10 days shy! Life is moving quickly. 

I don't have enough hands for a newborn, toddler, and camera...

My 3 little monkeys

This would make a great... pet?

Victory!

Alex comforting his big brother. Alvin split his head open at the park. The only thing Alvin kept saying, "I don't want stitches! Don't take me to the doctor! I don't want them to sow on me!" 

I'm not tired...

Mom this is a crazy place.

Love that smile

Those eyes are telling a story!

Alex's sowing adventure

Alex has asked me to teach him how to sow for years! When we lived in AK, I told him his grandmas would teach him. Now that we have moved... I can't say that with conviction. I found a Mini 4H Before You Sew. This has SIMPLE lessons geared towards K - 2nd graders. Below is Alex's first project! (Side note - I hate sowing! I tried for years to like it... find the right project, etc. It wasn't until a few years ago when I discovered and accepted this fact I stopped feeling like a failed wife/mother. But, when you know it will make your kid happy... you can get over such things).

It has many purposes!
