Our Sweet Olivia Anne

Our new life as parents of two is starting to settle in.  Definitely an adjustment but I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Olivia is a good eater and wants to eat every two hours right now, hopefully that will settle down a bit soon, but in the meantime I love the time we get to cuddle together.  I took a few pictures yesterday, they aren’t anything fancy, just playing around.

And here she is with her big brother.  He loves her a lot!

Another Quiet Book…

I forgot to post about this, so even though it’s been done for a while, here it is.  I was part of a quiet book group where we each made 9 copies of the same page and then shared them with each other.  The friend who invited me lives in Washington so I didn’t meet the other page makers, but I was pretty excited when they came in the mail.  I had to sew them together and make a cover once I got them.

Here are the animal finger puppets I made…

I put a pocket in the front cover so I had a place to throw random pieces in a hurry.  This page is a sock matching…

Brush the crocodile’s teeth (I added this one since there was an odd number and Joshua loves it.  Putting the fruit on the tree and in the basket…

Learning to buckle, and another pocket.  I plan to make some felt face pieces to put in this one.

And who would have thought when I bought this little table in Korea that it would get so much use upside down?
