Millie's dress and croup

Tomorrow is always a new day.  Thank God for new mornings and new mercies!

 So in the midst of the chaos here, I finished sewing my first dress ever. 

I picked a super easy pattern (which I still almost managed to mess up!) and I think I'll use it for Em's 4th birthday party.  (Excuse the need for ironing!)

 Emilie wants to dress up as Millie (the girl in pink) from the cartoon Umizoomi.

So I still have to make her headband!

And make Eliz's dress as GEO.

On another note, nothing speaks spring more to me than the color purple.

Emilie's drawing of Daddy and Elizabeth, holding balloons.  :)

(Don't you love that she made Daddy slightly balding??  wink)

And last but not least, the little girl - crying, fussy, pukey girl - who is recovering from the croup.

Her fever broke but she's still not out of the woods yet.

Prayers are appreciated!
