Praying and Crying
I found this blog and have been praying and crying all weekend and holding my kids a little closer.

DVD release
Our Star!
Okay, this post is a little late. Emma got the role of Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz" and did an amazing job of singing, dancing and hamming it up!
I forgot my camera and only had some fuzzy cell phone shots, but my friend Joni emailed this photo to me. Way to go Emma- we think you've really got a flare for drama!

Sewing and Legos
Emma got this cute Singer sewing machine for Christmas from her birth-grandparents, Gary and Vicky. Last Saturday I spent the afternoon teaching the girls how to sew. First they practiced threading their machines (Eliza used mine). Then they practiced sewing lines that I drew on paper. After they mastered the paper they tried real stitches on material.
After they got good at sewing on material we cut some squares and they starting sewing quilt tops. They want to make quilts for their little neices and nephews.

Here are their first quilt tops made completely by themselves! (Excuse the water spot on Emma's quilt- Porter got carried away with the water bottle!) They picked out fabric for the backs and now we'll work on quilting and binding them. They did a great job and caught on to using sewing machines fast!
