On to July (only a month behind)

Alright, it's been 5 days and I'm already posting again, so at least I'm doing better than the last few months. We'll just pretend that it's still July and not August since the photos I'm going to post are all from July.

To continue from where I left off, I started the month off with a sewing project for my friend's little girl.



I love this dress pattern. I've made Winnie a dress like this, and it's my favorite one that she owns. I'm a sucker for full skirted dresses with flutter sleeves. So girly. And proud. :)

For the fourth, the sister missionaries from my church came over and decorated cupcakes like the American flag with Eden. (I use the word "decorate" loosely as mostly Eden just handed them decorations in between shoving them in her mouth.)





Like the festive clothes? I do.



These two ladies have really been a blessing in my life since Kevin's been gone. They visit all the time and help me fold laundry and do dishes and keep me company. I love them.



Later that day, our friends Mike and Jess with their little boy Charlie to grill out and do sparklers.



Eden liked the sparklers till we lit them. Then she ran inside and hid on the couch.



So that was our fourth. Pretty fun this year!

Lately Winnie has been gaga for books. She will pull some books onto our couch and just sit there and look at them. It's one of the things she does that makes me happiest.





I think I'll leave it there because the next group of photos is from my mom's visit in July and there are a bunch, so good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite. I have to go baste a quilt.
