GSPCA

Leia is turning into quiet the animal lover. We visited the GSPCA (Humane Society) and Leia was in dog and cat heaven. She loved holding the kittens and puppies.

Cutie got a new dress

I made this dress for Leia. It has a knitted top and then I sewed the skirt portion. Leia was quite the little model for these pictures.

MIA

Sorry I've been a little MIA but my computer crashed after we returned to Grenada and Sean always used his to study so I didn't have a way to post things but I'm gonna try to catch up now while he's on his break.

Annual Back to School Dinner 2013

We have a tradition of doing a back to school dinner every year before the kids start school. We make their favorite dinner, make them paper crowns with their names on them, incorporate the Primary theme for that year (this year it was "I am a Child of God) and have Sean give each of them a blessing. This year even Leia got a blessing because she does a little pre-school twice a week. I love my little munchkins and I hope we can keep this tradition up for a long time.

Leia's new dress

I have been meaning to get some sewing done but have just been too busy with the kids and too tired at night so nothing is coming out of my workshop. But, I did manage to finish up this dress I made for Leia a while back and I think it was the perfect get-back-into-sewing-project I could have ever done. I hand dyed the material and then used one of my go to 2 year old pattern from Weekend Sewing. The best part was Leia helping me make it and then wanting to put it on as soon as it was completed and then as if she hadn't already made me feel like the luckiest mom in the world she says thank you over and over again as she dances in her new dress. My mom crocheted some flowers for me when I was home visiting so I put a bead in one of them and added it to the dress. Leia loves the flower just as much as she loves the dress. 

Relief Society Pot Luck Lunch for Enrichment

We had a Relief Society Enrichment Pot Luck lunch last month and it was soooo much fun. I love spending time with all these wonderful ladies, especially after being gone for so long.

Back in Grenada

Well folks, we made it back to Grenada safe and sound. The first thing we did was hit some of our favorite beaches. This one is La Sagesse and it is always GORGEOUS!

Here Memphis is taking it all in, one dip in the ocean at a time! 

I love how blue the sky and water are, it truly is a wonder how beautiful our world can be sometimes.
