Costumes & Sewing

Mom, Mema, and Allanah, a very close friend, came up to visit the girls and to attend our Preemie Prints Sewing and Craft meeting. Mom as always, came bearing gifts. This time she brought 2 precious costumes with her!! The girls played in them all afternoon.

This is a cute picture!!

Mema singing to Eden

And the meeting is underway. This division of Preemie Prints sews/crafts items for our NICU gift bags and
to sell at festivals/tradeshows to help in fundraising for the organization.

This is an awesome group!! 

Mema and I filled heating pads and "snakes", which are neonatal positioning devices used in our local NICUs.

My friend Jen taught me to sew my first blanket!! I never expected to be sewing in this group, (I was going for the "crafter" title) but hey you never know!!

Sweet Girl! 

Here is Eden with a my mom's childhood doll, Tina. The girls adore her. I just wish both of her eyes would open and close. There are times this doll freaks me out just a bit....but then I remember she was my mom's doll and that
the girls love her which is really special!!

There is that eye, lol

I love this picture. She looks like a doll herself.

"Here's our crazy punkies!! Our dad named pony tails "punkies" and we think its cute. Sometimes we ask mom to
put 2 punkies in at once!! We like things a little on the wild side."

A Good Old Fashion Rock Concert!!

Well this post is for my memory book. Sorry I know you all read this blog for the twins, but it is also a way for me to keep track of my memories as well. Eventually this whole blog will be in print for our family and friends to enjoy, so it will be nice to see that Brian and I were still having fun in the midst of our wonderful chaos! This was a festival at The Woodlands Pavilion put on by Rockstar called Uproar. The line up included Bullet For My Valentine, Three Days Grace, Seether, and Avenged Sevenfold. It was very much rock & roll and I very much enjoyed it!

Amirah's Headbands

My friend Amirah has started making these headbands in honor of her daughter Aara's passing. We met through Preemie Prints and she is just an amazingly strong and beautiful woman! At our last 

meeting she gave me two headbands for the girls. The first two pictures are kind of fuzzy but I wanted to try them on the girls as soon as I got home. The next day I was taking the girls to stay vacation with my mom and dad for a couple days. We were meeting for lunch so I dressed them up with their new headbands and we played outside for a while. They normally pull their headbands off as soon as I put them on but these are so comfortable that they forgot about them for a long time! I always tell them, "lets put on your headbands from Mrs. Amirah" and they know exactly what I'm talking about. :)
