It feels like it's been a while since I've made a dress or a skirt for myself and I've been itching for something new to wear on Sundays. I used a favorite pattern - this skirt was the fourth time I've sewn it up! Might be time to venture to something new. I used a different weight of fabric, a cotton lawn, and because it flows differently from the other fabrics I've used, the skirt does feel different. I love that it's nice and lightweight and I'll love it even more as the days get warmer! I used to hate cobalt blue, but now I really like it! People change!

Just a few photos of Holly with her Nana and Papa Jim. Holly's our little hostess and she lights up the room. I'm so very grateful she's ours. She's a stunner!

We took some quick snapshots before church the last day Catherine and Jim were here. These photographs are in line with my goal to take more intentional photos of my girls with their grandparents. And also in line with the fact that I can't control my chidren (Greta) and therefore it sometimes won't work out as imagined. As a bonus, we were still on time for church!

So we seem to get our visitors in clumps and then we have a famine until the next clump. And so it was in April. Liz and Kent followed by Conor's parents, Catherine and Jim. However the visitors come, we're happy to have them! There weren't very many "camera opportunies" while Catherine and Jim were here, but in the last year or two, after a few different visits with both grandparents, I felt frustrated by the lack of quality photos I had of my girls with their grandparents so I'm trying to be better at taking more intentional photos (whether or not the children cooperate with my girls is another story). These photos I took while everyone was playing at the park before supper. We love walking over to the local elementary school to play.
