Pretty Lil' Numbers



Just finished these fun little bags for Aunt Jennie to give as Christmas presents. I made a diaper bag for myself the other day, then I decided to make each of my nieces a bag. Oh how Belle and Lily love to wag bags around filled with all of their prized possessions.... Aunt Jennie saw Lil's and asked if I could make some for her for Christmas. I'm pretty proud of the final product. The purple bags are a candy print. A little Charlie and Chocolate Factoryish. The bottoms are chenille. I don't have a monogram machine, but think I did pretty well for free hand. Maggie's is a pink, brown, and lime green paisley with a hot pink bottom. Each bag has two interior pockets. I hope Sarah, Lucy, and Maggie enjoy there's as much as Belle and Lily are. Hope everyone has a great day!!

26 Years......
Uncle Nick wore this outfit 26 years ago.
Graham wore it today to church and brunch with Pap, Uncle Nick and Aunt Caroline. Thanks to Nana for keeping it all these years. Everyone that saw Graham was telling him how cute he is. The hostess at Gaillardia couldn't stop telling us how precious he is, even when we were having to take turns walking Graham around the grounds. It was nap time and he was really sleepy. Matthew let me finish dessert while he took Graham out to see the pool. Matthew said that he started holding him like the sack of potatoes he is and he was out in 30 seconds.
Thanks Nick, Caroline, and Dad for making the trip. It was so fun to eat wings and watch the football game with you Saturday night. We also really enjoyed lunch. I wonder where they get their coffee??? It was also fun talking about childhood memories....we're gonna die!
We love you guys!

Look What I Made!
I made this on a Sunday afternoon. I hope to get Graham's 3 month portraits taken in this outfit (even though he will be four months old this week, yikes). A huge thanks to my friend Elizabeth for doing the monogramming. It turned out great! I thought I better snap a few pictures of him just in case I never get around to the formal pictures. Now for a silly story: Graham wore this to church today in OKC. I put a bib on him right after he ate, because we have been having a lot of spit up lately. Which is quite silly since I wanted everyone to see his awesome initials beaming on his chest. I took G to get a cup of coffee, where three elderly women then proceeded to tell me what a sweet beautiful little girl I had. I didn't have the heart to correct them. I guess the bib looked like a big collar or pinafore. He was dressed in all blue including the bib and socks, with the most "boy like" tricycles they make. I think he is pretty cute too, but I don't think he looks girly. We have had several people comment on our "little girl." What's the deal really????
Can't you just hear the cackle in this picture? Really it was more of a squeal I guess.
Elizabeth Rocks!!!!! I told Graham all about how I made this outfit just for him. "No one else can wear it. It wouldn't make any sense because it has your name on it." He just giggled all through my monologue.
"Look at those rubber bands the people forgot to take off my arms."
I think he really looks like a Curton here. I'm so sad after I washed it the buttons turned yellow. So much for cheap Wal-Mart buttons. $0.68 come on your not supposed to change colors on me. Now I have an excuse to go to Hancock's. Maybe I'll go for blue this time.
