So, Easter was a lot of fun and now we are preparing for her first birthday party. I have actually been planning some aspect of it since February. Yes, I'm one of those mommies.
April 18th we traveled to see the leftover bluebonnets. I knew I had waited too long here in south Texas. Most of them had gone to seed already, but every little Texas child has to have bluebonnet pictures. So, dear hubby was kind enough to go with me and baby girl. We drove 25 miles east to a rest stop between Sabinal and D'Hanis. There were a few bb's left! But as you'll see in the pics, a lot of seeds too!
"I'm popeye the sailor man..."
My favorite. I wear this one on my badge at work and had an 8x10 made.
That same day, I attempted my first homemade tutu. I have a cute skirt for her we got at Children's Place, but I had been seeing these tutu's for little girls. I figured I could make one of those. Found some easy directions on the internet and put it together in a couple of hours. I have since added some white ribbon for some more pop. We will either use black leggings or a while diaper cover which I'm having embroidered. Pics to come from the b-day party.
In sad news, we have had to find other day care for baby girl. Our fabulous lady, Mrs. Matthews, has had a really hard time finding help that will be good and consistent. So, she decided to close out her infant room (under 18 mos) and just keep the toddlers. We are so very sad. There was no better place she could have been when I went back to work. I am sure she will get great care at the Methodist church, but it won't be as homey as Ms. Matthews. Our first day will be when we get back from the big birthday party at mom's/dad's.
So, that brings us to our little gathering. I have no idea how to plan a party, so hopefully no one will be expecting too much! Pics to come!!
