Easter, our bald baby, and sewing!

Part 1: Easter! The Saturday before Easter, Danny's school put on an Easter egg hunt for kids, so I went with some friends to have some fun. They had food and activities like cookie decorating, pictures with the Easter bunny, face painting, and a bounce house. Then there was the hunt. The horn sounded, and it was like the Hunger games. Kids running for their lives to get as many eggs as possible. Sadly for Chloe, she didn't get any because she was too slow. It was actually pretty funny. Then on actual Easter we just went to church then got together with some friends for an Easter feast!

With Stacey and Meredith


Easter Sunday before church

Part 2: Our bald baby. Chloe is growing hair... slowly but surely! Let's just say every day I pray that she will start growing some hair! I mean, it's just not fair that all her other friends her age have braids and pig tails... and Chloe has... headbands. Come on hair, please grow so her earrings aren't the only thing identifying her as a girl!


Part 3: Sewing! Okay yes, this may seem a little vain... but a few people have asked me to post pics of the skirts I've made recently. So, I had D take some pics of me... and yes, it felt awkward modeling my clothes and posing by myself, but oh well, here are the pics:



Top left: This wool skirt I didn't technically make, but I altered and modified it quite a bit. My mother-in-law gave it to me from her closet. She had it years ago (semi-vintage!), and I thought the fabric was way cute and that I could totally salvage it. It is a perfect winter skirt. Thanks, Mom!


Top right: This is one of the first skirts I ever made, with lots of help from my mother-in-law. It has pockets, pleats, and an invisible side zipper. Very comfy.
 
Bottom left: I made this in October, and it's still my favorite skirt. I love polka dots. I made up the pattern myself, and it ended up turning out pretty good.

Bottom right: I just made this one a few days ago, replicating the polka dot one. Love it! I am prepared for the summer heat now.


That is pretty much all that's going on here! We are doing great, and just excited for Danny's finals to be over in a few weeks. Chloe and I are going to Austin, TX to visit my sister, Liz, for the week of Danny's finals... it will be a good time to get away because he will be so busy studying. I am so excited to see my sis and her family!
