Montana Girls are Back - Days 6, 7 & Travel Home

3rd - We are on day six.  What to do - what to do.  Well, feeding the tribe is usually a good start.  Elena wants biscuits for breakfast, so biscuits it will be.  Two littles in the kitchen gives me ample time to share the work.  They are more than happy to roll out the dough and cut it into circles for us to bake.

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.

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.
