I have not been motivated to post lately. Perhaps because life is trudging along at a safe pace and is just normal. Not too busy, not too lazy. Simply summer. I have done a lot of sewing though. Venturing into the unknown world of making my own clothes. Here are my first two attempts and now I wonder why I have ever bought a skirt in my life. They are so easy and quick to make.

Hazel will be a year near the end of the summer however she still has yet to crawl! I'm in no rush! Her and Elizah "play" together all day long just fine with Hazel remaining in one spot and it makes my day more efficient not having to always wonder where she is or what she is getting into. Her hair has turning a beautiful strawberry blondish brown. Can we say Aunt Sarah?

I am often flooded with thoughts of Elizah's education. This is the year I will begin "preschool like" activities with her preparing her for kindergarten. At times I feel inadequate and unsure about what would be best to be doing with her, but I just have to put those thoughts behind me and go with my gut. She is so physical and I feel this is how she learns best right now as well as any 2 almost 3 year old. Motherhood is always challenging in new ways. One's which I have never experienced before and now I must undertake another level which is what I have been doing all along. Training. It will just begin to manifest itself in different ways. Here is Elizah slinging her rabbit.
