Skip to My Lu

I always have a project going and here is my latest: www.skiptomyluembroidery.blogspot.com. From the time I got my embroidery machine, I thought it would be fun to have a little side business. But with the addition of the second baby, there was no extra time in my day. Now that Maddie will be in school 4 days a week next year and Emalyn at Mothers Day Out one day, I am finally starting it up. 

My girls had a lot of fun playing with all the fabrics as I was mocking all my appliques up. 

 As you can tell my house was already messy enough, so whats about 50 more pieces of fabric out in the middle of the floor?  :) But they were entertained for quite awhile.  

 Making Emalyn go "night-night" is Maddie's new favorite game to play. 

Sisters

Wow..can't believe it has been over a month since I have posted! I have long post coming about this summer but wanted to post this quickly first. I knew as soon as we found out Emalyn was a girl, I was thankful that Maddie was going to have sister. But there was no way I could have imagined how sweet it would be watching them play together or how many giggles could come from two little girls. They have so much fun playing together, and as Maddie says "she adores me" - they both adore each other.  They have their own names for each other. Emalyn calls Maddie "Sissy" and Maddie calls Emalyn "Littles." Maddie spent the night with my mom last week, and Emalyn must have asked us 50 times, "where's sissy?" Only for Chris or I one to answer "shes at Bebe's", then 30 secs later "where's sissy?" 

This was them playing dress up yesterday.

Pretending to go "night-night" in Maddie's bed. Maddie cannot wait until Emalyn is big enough to sleep in the big girl bed with her. Until then, she loves tucking Emalyn in and pretending they are going back to sleep. Emalyn just plays along.

Doing each other's hair

 I ran downstairs for a second to check on something, and I heard them laughing as I was coming back up the stairs. Maddie had put Emalyn in her baby's doll pack n play and then hopped in herself. Its amazing what little things can be so entertaining!

I was making dinner a few weeks ago, and I heard them cracking up in Emalyn's room. I grabbed the camera and headed in there to see what they were doing. Here's a little clip:

Who knew hiding under a rug could be so much fun!

And this is this morning watching TV

I'm so thankful for my two sweet little girls!
