We Entered the School Age!

It is official...we are in the school age!  Olive started Kindergarten!  

I won't lie and say I didn't shed any tears, because I did.

She came home the first day and I already felt like she was years older!  How can that be!?

She wanted to be "fancy" on her first day so she picked out an awesome fancy outfit :)

Sooner than I know it Evelyn will be getting on the bus with her.

We also got their hairs cut before hand.  Olive wanted to keep her hair long for her Halloween costume (any guesses as to what she is going to be?)  Evelyn however has never had a hair cut so we went a little more drastic.

Lovely

I just recently got a brand new camera *cue major excitement* my old camera was

extremely outdated in the photography world.  Yes, it took pictures  but it did nothing

my lovely new camera can do :)

I have been playing around with it but there are so many new features I need to get used to!

I am hoping to get back into photography as a business.  I took a break after having the girls and really only took pictures for people if they asked.  Now, I am going to work on my portfolio! 

 Who better to start taking pictures of, than my girls!

I think both the models are lovely :) 

Finished!

I finished my quilting project! It by no means is perfect but I am pretty proud of it. My ma helped me out when I bought not quite enough fabric for the backing (thanks mom :) 

I gave it to my friend at her baby shower, along with a few bibs I made.  Someone mentioned I should make them and sell but I am not sure I have enough patience to make them again and again!

 

 

Crafty Quilting!

I saw this quilt on Pinterest...of course the Link went to

nowhere.  I don't know about you but that is one of my pet peeves on Pinterest!

My friend and I made baby blankets for her niece's, so I thought it would be nice to 

make her one for her baby due in June!

I had some help planning from my crafty mom :)  and I did some scribbling...

After trial and error and possibly a little bit of mumbling under my breath 

I was able to get the sizes and pattern down!  I will update as soon as I finish!

2014!

How on earth can it already be January 8, 2014!!! 

Its not possible! 

I can not believe that this fall Olivia will start Kindergarten!?!

AHH, that is crazy!

I am making this a no resolution because really I never follow through 

with any resolutions I make.  Most of which have been to lose weight,  but 

I need to find a different approach on that subject!

I do however want to take more pictures!  I have been awful at picture taking 

the last few months!!

This was the last shot I took of the girls together in 2013!
