Made With Love By Grace And Emma

Last week there was lots of sewing going on in preparation for Dave's sister's baby shower this past Saturday. A woman I worked with made burp cloths like these for me when I was pregnant with Grace, and since they were one of our most favorite gifts (and truly the best burp cloths ever) we thought it would be lovely to make some for Donna and Peter in honor of their first baby on the way (a little boy due next month)! The girls chose the fabrics (three designs each) and after an introduction to the rotary cutter (thanks to our dear friend Sharon) and a lesson in using the sewing machine (courtesy of their papa) they were off and running with this project- only requiring a bit of help from us every now and again. We were super impressed with how beautifully the girls did with this project and how gorgeous the burp cloths turned out! There certainly was a lot of love stitched into these burp cloths for their first baby cousin and it definitely shows! xo

{This Momet} Last Saturday

{This Moment} A Friday ritual. A single photo -no words- capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you are inspired to do the same leave a link for all to find and see. We wish you a lovely first weekend in June! xo

Super Emma!

The world is definitely safer with Emma at the ready! xo

7:20pm

One sewing, one doing patient notes and one creating Wonder Woman wristbands. Just another (Wednesday) night at our house! xo

A New Favorite Place

I have a feeling I know where the bulk of their summer days will be spent! xo

On Memorial Day

Happy Last Page Day!

And just like that another year of morning lessons has come to an end and our summer has begun! We finished up the space unit with some constellations, and they wrote what they're most looking forward to this summer on the last page of their journals (as is our "last page day" tradition). We are so proud of how much they've learned and grown over this year of lessons, and we have no doubt that when lessons begin again after the summer it will be more of the same. But first we have sprinklers to run through, camp to attend, the lake to visit and a milestone birthday to celebrate! Let the summer fun begin! xo
