Emma is Three

























On Emma's birthday she awoke with wonder at what surprise could be at the end of the hall for her.... a birthday crown (Mama's second sewing project), a picture of Sweet Miss on the day of her birth and a few other goodies. It was a WONDERFUL DAY spent celebrating this adventurous, sweet and very bright spirit among us. I am so blessed.













Mama's first sewing project... a bag for the birthday girl's animals, or tea cakes, or books or overnight clothes... it came out so wonderful and I realize that I love to sew... so many projects to come!


























I love getting lost in these bubbly little toes!!! Elliott loves all things outside. If he is ever fussy (very rarely, thank you Jesus!) I stick him out in the grass on a sunny day and he seems so content listening to the birds or chewing on grass... and whatever else he can get his hands on!



















This is every day... something dangerous proudly accomplished by Mr. Bubble toes. I see that grin a million times a day and it never gets old!

Emma's Second

Who can believe Emma Tjelle is two already!  Actually I can... I finished reading her stories an hour ago and she is still choosing to play in her room rather than settle down for her afternoon nap!  The party was so much fun and we are grateful for all who were able to celebrate with us.  Here are some of our favorite pictures from the day.  Emma is really settling into herself and it is so much fun to see her take such delight in being celebrated and loved.
