my birthday

so, in February and march, I got into sewing and shared some of my creations in this post and this post, too. you can click on the words and take a peek if you haven't already. we also had the florida trip and easter, which I posted about here.

this brings us up to my birthday. I asked for a road trip to the historic Vicksburg and we had a great day.

I wanna try! kick! kick! kick!" I think she thought we went there for swimming! cute!
