Emily Kathryn is on the MOVE

I've been meaning to post this video for a few weeks, but I had to first figure out how to put the video footage from my camera on my computer....more complicated than I first imagined. Emily Kathryn is crawling! Gone are the days of being able to do something in another room while she plays on the floor....she's into everything!!!

Uncle Josh gets Married

This weekend was busy! Emily Kathryn attended her first wedding...and how super sweet that it was Uncle Josh and Aunt Amy. The wedding took place at the Botanical Gardens and despite fear of rain, it was a dry and beautiful evening!!

Here are some pictures from the wedding. EmK smiled every time the camera lady sneezed at her and she was pretty quiet during the ceremony. However, by the time the reception started she was completely exhausted from the day and ready to call it a night....so luckily I had a good friend on call to pick her up.


This dress was given to EmK when she was born. A friend of the Barrow family made the dress, so I thought it was perfect for a Barrow wedding. I'm sure the professional photos are much better than mine!!


EmK on the move.....did I mention she's crawling? Posting video soon!!


SO CUTE!


Amy looked absolutely beautiful (Josh looked handsome too)...and Amy is always smiling!!


Emily Kathryn loves Papa and really wanted his flower:)


Had to get a quick photo with EmK's Lulu


We have found our tongue:)


Best friends....they can get into so much trouble together:)


EmK loves our friend Joy and her jewelry!!


I have to take a moment to say that I smocked this dress. It was my first project and I've been busy every since. Since it's such a special dress to me, I really wanted her to wear it the first time for a special occasion....and I think Josh's wedding definitely fits that category. Feel free to "zoom in" on this picture to see my crafty skills:) I assure you'll be seeing other projects very soon as I'm taking a sewing class tomorrow to learn how to put the dresses together. I might be in a little over my head....I guess I'll know for sure tomorrow!


EmK tried to last all night, but she just couldn't do it.....


What a FUN weekend!

Quick Stories

I have a few pictures I'll like to share -- each has a story.

1. I've been sewing on a new machine I got for my birthday....and the results include some pants for Emily Kathryn. I wanted to try them on her and measure the elastic and I just had to take some pics. I think she is the cutest kid on the planet:) I mistakenly went against my better judgement and did not add length to the pants...the result....capri pants:) Still super cute on her.






2. Jordan has been talking football for weeks. It never really stops at our house, just slows down a little in the winter months. On Thursday morning I found the flag already flying when I left to run errands. On Friday night I noticed Jordan had laid out EmK's clothes for the next day....an Alabama cheerleader outfit and bow. We had a quick lesson on when to use a satin versus grosgrain bow....he caught on quickly!

As most of you already know, we are a house divided when it comes to college football. My disclaimer for the next picture is that I really love my husband and this makes him VERY happy!




3. On Sunday afternoon I left for the grocery store while Emily Kathryn was napping. When I arrived home I found her in her exercauser outside with her dad. I commented on her bow and Jordan explained to me that he chose a turquoise bow to match the polo horse on her outfit. SO FUNNY...and really so thoughtful! Jordan is just amazing to me. I quickly thought back to how he talked for the first 20 weeks of my pregnancy about how much he wanted a boy....and now he is picking out hair bows:) I think he even wet her hair so it wouldn't be sticking up....he's the BEST dad:)




4. We installed EmK's toddler seat!
