Home and Dresses

Our trip home from the grand NB was super. We had to stop every few hours for Jesse to stretch and get some fresh air...but after 15 minutes of being outta the car, he was good to hit the road again. We really enjoyed our visit back home. I thought 4 days wouldn't feel like enough time, but it was just enough time to see everybody, as well as get some relaxing in.

One positive thing about my new momma figure...A little wider everywhere...is that my mom and I are now just about the same size. So...I can steal her clothes when I go home. Actually...over the past year she has been giving me clothes every time I visit. This time, I really hit the jack pot. Mom's newest job is at Fabricville as a manager. Part of the dealio, working there, is that you get big discounts, but also an allowance to sew things to display throughout the store. The bonus, is that you get to take them home after a few months. So...mom has been sewing us stuff like crazy, and 5 of the dresses and 3 shirts were done being on display, so I got to take them home with me. Last night, Dave and I had a little fashion shoot, so I could put up some pictures...Silly us.

This is my FAVOURTIE piece she made.. I Plan on wearing it to my little brother, Jacob, and his lovely fiance Katrina's, wedding.

These are a few more casual summer dresses she did for me... I love the bow wrap thing on the yellow one!

And here are a few of the tops... I forgot to include them in the fashion shoot, but happened to have worn them during the week, so have my bases covered. I love the color of the orange jacket, and the cinched(sp??) waist on the beige..

So...thank you Mama Smith. She continues to sew...and next time I'm home, there will be a whole nother set of her creations off display for me to take home. Yay!

I really don't have too much news about the past week. The weekend was nice, with a morning breakfast with some friends (the kids in the above picture) before church, and some time with Dave. We missed him while we were gone. Jesse has been over the top miserable with his 2 top teeth coming through since Monday, and Dave has been swamped with school work.... so it hasn't been the best week of my life.... I've been trying to distract myself from everyones misery with cooking and baking. I love it. I've done a few more recipes in my book. A spiced apple crumble and some fig-quinoa breakfast bars. Both were good.

Well, once again, the little tyke is calling. He has finished his breakfast, and you should see his face! Kiwi and cereal and cheese all through his eyebrows. How he does it, I do not know. ha ha ha. Gotta run, thanks for reading! I'm off.
