Fall Photo Shoot

Last week I took Annika outside to get some new photos for a photo frame in my house. It holds five photos and I would like to change it according to season (well it has not changed since last fall). :) Here are some of the new ones I took.

Singing

Annika LOVES to sing...I'm not exaggerating when I say she sings anywhere. She will sing before she goes to bed, when we are reading to her, when she is in the bathtub, when she's in the shopping cart at a store, in her car seat, or even at 3:30 in the morning when she's suppose to be sleeping (yes we've heard her do this). I was able to get a few minutes of her on video!




Here are a few pictures of her from last Sunday on our way out the door to church!

A new dress **UPDATED**

I finally finished a dress I started making for Annika a few weeks ago. It turned out pretty good. It was my first dress from a pattern that I made. It included a zipper, pleats, bias tape and lots of taking apart and re-sewing! :) But it's finished and pretty cute. It will probably fit her next fall also! A few pics....

**UPDATE**
After all was said and done I really did like the jumper I was just a bit discouraged about the back seam not matching up (where the pleats are) so I sat down tonight and figured out a way to fix it (taking it apart was not an option since I had already re-did the zipper twice) so I added some accents on. Here's what I came up with:

Well they are married and off!

My sister and my new brother-in-law got married last weekend! The wedding went well and was beautiful! My nieces made an adorable flower girl and junior brides made and my sister made a beautiful bride!

For the love of Hats

A lady in my church mentioned that I should make a scrapbook with all of the pictures I have of Annika in hats. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE HATS!! So I put together a slide show of Annika with all her hats.




Note: she owns more hats then this!
