The project my daughters did with me!

Here's something I'm rather proud of. . . I have raised two successful babysitters. When they were starting out babysitting, I was as nervous as they were! What if something happens? Will they have to cook? What if the kids are hard to handle? I went over instructions with them right until they walked out the door. I canceled my plans and stayed home in case they called for help. When they got home, I'd want all the details and then go over what to do for next time. They got better and better with each job and my nerves calmed down when I realized they were great babysitters who knew how to keep kids safe AND have fun with them at the same time. Hearing from friends and neighbors what awesome babysitters my daughters are made me so proud!   But now they are getting older and getting different jobs, and spending more weekend nights with friends rather than babysitting, they're ready to pass the torch on to younger babysitters. We had the idea to put together a guide/kit ...

I snapped this little self-portrait of me and Lucy showing off our St. Patty's day greens this morning and moments later she spit up half her bottle. Being the caring mother I am, I diverted the eruption of spewed milk away from my new birthday trench and her hand-knit sweater. . . I know, I know, its only "stuff" and I shouldn't be so concerned with worldly stuff. . . but its green stuff, darn-it, and we are going to wear this beautiful green stuff all day, if it kills me!

Juliann - I just talked to Annie on the phone today and found your site through her blog. So fun. And that is the cutest baby girl I have ever seen! She is adorable. I am glad to see all of you doing well. I did run across some pictures from Lake Powell a few months back. I will have to scan them and email them.

Remember Lucy's hospital doll she named Birdie ? Well, we had a service project with the children's group at church a couple weeks ago and made a bunch of dolls just like Birdie to donate to Primary Children's Medical Center. They will go to future patients there and hopefully bring the same amount of love and comfort Birdie brought to Lucy. At our activity, we had 12 kids who stuffed, stitched, hemmed and dressed a total of 34 dolls! Patterns for dolls and robes can be found here: Doll A , Doll B , Robe A , Robe B . Download all four.
