and learning to sew with her mommy.....


she is some kind of wonderful!
happy birthday emme, we love you all the way to the moon and back!

Happy Birthday to your little girl! My oldest boy just turned 9 last month. It's such a great age.

Love your Studio 8! Those floors are gorgeous. And that bicep - reminds me of my favorite bicep. ;)

Happy Birthday, Emme! Great castle! Looks like you're enjoying your new space with Mom. Great pictures and a great room. Happy Birthday Week!

Happy bday to Emme!

And, am I mistaken, or was there chalk writing on the wall of Studio 8? Did you actually wait the 3 days for the paint to set? I know there's no way I would have made it to day 3.

Of course I didn't miss the bicep...and Studio 8 is coming along nicely!! Wish you could teach me to sew, your girls are SO SO lucky to have you for a mom. Happy Birthday Emme!!

Cute black and white polka dot on the desk surface. Is that contact paper, paint, or what?

They grow up way-way-way too fast.

I didn't miss the bicep, but thought it was strange that it was with the comment about playing legos with her daddy. I'm glad you clarified it at the end because I would have been trying to reconcile that bicep with Steve in my mind all night. I know, pitiful.

She is just beautiful! LOVE the freckles! Happy birthday, Emme!

Christie said...

This post is beautiful....loved the pictures...and the colors...the sewing together...so sweet.

I can't wait to get my little Keira home from China - I'm itchin' and scratchin' to do some girly stuff...I've got my little guy, and he's all BOY! Tee hee!

I am Mom said...
