Deployment Day #78

Busy Busy! I missed you, hearing you, seeing you. I am happy I got to talk to you today. I really do miss you. I think having the girls snuggle with me in bed makes it less empty without you. Ella is so independent now, I got a little sad thinking about what you are missing in our day to day, she is going to be a whole nother person when you return. Elisa says Mama now!! It is so cute and she is attempting to crawl, she almost has it down. She plays peekaboo and I tried to get it on video but then she gets distracted by the camera. I'll try again tomorrow. I have fabric cut for 6 more outfits for the girls. I hope to start sewing them up like a mad women tomorrow. Especially since my mom bought me a walking foot for the machine I can sew knits now!! woot!! I want to try and convert the girls' wardrobe to 100% mama made :)

I made this! I didn't hem the bottom yet

Deployment Day #72

The get together on Saturday was ok for me but Ella had a blast, its always awkward figuring out how to nurse Elisa discreetly in front of people you have never met before. Ella had so much fun playing with the kids though. I feel so bad we are cooped up in the house most of the time. Its getting really hot outside too! Still no refund, the IRS release an official statement today that those who filed married/joint with repayment of the first time homebuyer credit should receive their refunds by April 5th. So we shall see. I got a package from your grandma!! I let Ella open two presents today and the card. The rest is in hiding with her other b-day presents. I am debating whether I will let her open them on her bday or at her party. Still not sure.

 

Isn't this incredibly cute!!!

The Back

Deployment Day #65

I miss you so much today. I keep distracting myself with other things but I wish I had  you to support me and help me make decisions. I hate not being able to pick up the phone and just call you. This feels so fake sometimes as though I am only talking to myself.

I finished sewing a matching dress for Elisa so the girls can be twins. This is the back so you can see the inside too

 I made the buttons myself

 And a matching hairbow for Ella, Elisa gets a smaller one

I also added buttons I made to Ella's dress

 Little Miss Model

That was all for today! I cut the fabric tonight to sew Ella a Dr. Seuss dress, that goes on the sewing machine tomorrow. I love you baby.

I made lamb for dinner last nite, pan seared in butter, rosemary, salt/pepper, dash of ground mustard and finished off in the broiler. I miss cooking for you :( 

Ella enjoying said lamb :)

annnnnd Elisa knows how to drink from a cup herself!! We only put a bit in there but she figured it out :)

I wanted to wait up for you tonight but I am so exhausted from today. I love you so much. xo me

Here is the little mamas

I entered this photo in a cloth diaper contest :)

She pulls up!

Deployment Day #54

The babies are better, thankfully, Elisa still has a bit of a runny nose and Ella still has a lingering cough but its much less and the fevers are done. Elisa is sleeping much better tonight so far. Instead of waking up every 15-20 minutes she has been waking up every hour. Her stuffy nose does not let her (and me) get much rest :(

She is still as happy as can be, that is her new diaper!

Close up because it is so dang cute!

This is the best I could get out of her, she wouldn't smile!

neeedz more books!

I love you Baby, nite <3
