Montana Girls are Back - Days 4 & 5

Today we are going to put our purchases to work.  It's SEWING DAY!  I have set up my sweet Featherweight and her table just for little people.  You can't go too fast on these so they are perfect for teaching with.   Notice the step stool for the foot pedal.  Short legs need all the help they can get.

The first thing we are making are dresses and you can read AND WATCH the video by clicking on this Sewing Post Link.  The details are all there and this will just be the highlights.  The moments we have together are just so sweet and the girls do such a great job with their dresses.  I think my favorite picture is of little feet under the table.  So fun.

Montana Girls are Back - Days 2 & 3

Today is Memorial Day and that means that Grandpa is off work to spend the day with us.  Woohoo.  These two little ladies want to go to the zoo and we are oh so happy to oblige.  Getting an early start lets us be the first people through the gates upon opening.  Oh yeah.

As per our usual routine, the lemurs are always the first stop.  Having the giant tortoises in there as well makes it just that much better.

Montana Girls are Back - Travel and Day One

My Montana girls are back and we are raring to go with a week full of fun and giggles.  I cannot tell you how excited I am to have them here with me again.  It's been such a long time.  After hopping a quick flight to Denver, I have a short wait and then here they come with their lovely mother, Rhiana.  a quick attempt is made to get them fed before we discover that our gate has changed and the flight is boarding.  Oh goodness, let's go.

The Calm Before the Storm

Summer Camp sessions start tomorrow.  Mister and I are enjoying a quiet evening ahead of the chaos.

Mister and I at the Zoo

We are off to the zoo!  Yep, you've heard it before but we absolutely love it there.  Come along for some great moments with amazing animals.  We just never know what we'll see each time.

Lovely Spring Yard

Having slept over 14 hours recovering from a 10 day quilt retreat, I ventured out into the yard to discover that it is absolutely beautiful.  Let your eyes enjoy what mine did.

It's The Birthday Season!!!!

If you have followed this blog for long, you know that my sweet Mister instituted the "birthday season" many years ago.  It is a much anticipated tradition and one I dearly hold onto while happily reciprocating each February.  I am going to be leaving the day after my birthday this year so will have a shortened "season" but I'm sure a glorious one nevertheless.

April 29 - It begins!!!  My birthday balloon and packages in the mail.  I have NO idea who sent what though as all have come without any names attached or even if they are for my birthday or Mother's Day.  Oh well.  Thank you one and all.  I have fun treats and a blessing dish.  Perfect.
