Updates

Last Thursday the girls school had a Fall Family picnic.  I helped pull pork and make sandwiches for the lunch.  We had a good time. I have been really bad lately about forgetting my camera when we go do something fun.  So I had to snag these pictures from a friend of mine : ):

This weekend my parents came for a visit and we had an enjoyable time together.  Mom went to a Girls n Grace tea with us at our church on Sunday afternoon.   It's a doll line that emphasizes Christianity.  They had a fashion show where some of the older girls got to walk the runway with their dolls in matching outfits.  Emily enjoyed watching but kept asking me when she would be old enough to be in the show.  I forgot my camera again so I got these pictures from our minister:

 

 

  

Emily watching the fashion show:

 All the girls in the fashion show:

They also had door prizes.  Emily wanted to know what prize she was going to get.  I tried to explain to her that not everyone would get something.  She didn't understand . . . so thank you Lord for allowing my name to be called to win this cupcake . . . Emily was pleased with her prize:

 

 I also got around to a bit of sewing last week.  I haven't done anything in a long while.  I worked on baby gifts last week.  There are several people all of a sudden deciding to have babies : )

Abigail has been fixated with socks lately.  If she sees a pair lying around she puts them on.  Here are some play socks she found in Emily's room.  She HAD to have them on before getting dressed one morning:

 She also tried to put on Sam's old sweaty socks at my sister's house last weekend.  This weekend she found PawPaw's dirty socks by his suitcase and put them on:

 The girls requested to wear pigtails to school yesterday so here they are in all their cuteness:

 By the end of the day Abigail's hair was done.  I had already fixed it 3 different times but it kept falling out.  But goodness no I couldn't take them out . . . I just kept having to fix them for her:

Abigail also turned 23 months old on Friday!  I can't believe in a month she will be 2!!!!  Her terrible two's are already starting to show . . . she is getting a head start!
