1'st shirt for Nollie

I finally took a picture of the first shirt that I sewed for Nollie. It was a little sloppy on the ribbing around the neck and arms but it was my first time trying this so that's OK. I think the embroidery fancies it up though. I haven't had a chance to sit down and sew anything else yet, where does the time go? Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get down to the sewing room again. I should take advantage of the remainder of winter before it's warm out and I want to spend all of my time in the garden.

Happy Birthday to Me!!

26 Years old today. I don't have any plans for the day maybe I'll read a little bit, play with my daughter and hang out with the family.

Swimming

This weekend we decided we wanted to get out of the house and do something different so we drove to Wainwright to go swimming. It was Nollie's first time swimming and I think she had a good time. It also gave me a chance to swim a few lengths of the pool. That is one thing I really miss living in Provost is access to an indoor pool. With Walmart opening up in Wainwright though I may be taking a few more trips that way, so Nollie and I can go swimming again. I forgot my camera, so no photos of Nollie in her swimsuit. Here is a Picture of Nollie with her hair done for the first time. She looks like such a little girl.

Been a long time

I'm back home now after visiting my family last week. It was great to get a visit with everyone. It's crazy how much Nollie changed in just a few days. We had so many new tricks to show dad when we got home. Nollie learned how to wave "hi", how to clap "yeah" and has been walking around holding our hands. She popped another tooth (that makes 6). And in the last week she got to try cookies and donuts (thanks to the grandparents). I'm working on getting another video to put up. It will be coming soon. I'm making bread today and it smells so good, I can't wait until it is ready. And I'm getting sick and tired of the winter. I just want it to be nice out so I can go outside.
