update

Ok, so we have until tomorrow at 2 pm EST to vote, so the contest will be open until then!

I'm a bad blogger, but how about a giveaway?!

So, I always feel like it would take FOREVER to blog about everything that has been going on so I just never do it. I have sooo many pictures and thoughts to put down and someday I will. But this blog post is dedicated to my sister Wendy. She has worked really hard to get to where she is at and had done some amazing things for the Dept. of Education in DC. She is going back to school right now and is getting her Masters in Education at George Washington University. I am super proud of her! She just recently entered her essay into a contest for a scholarship and since she has paid for all of her education herself this could really help her out. Her essay made it to the top 25 and all she need now is votes, so please please please vote for her. You have to sign up here and become a member, seriously guys it takes like 10 seconds. It says you have to be a government employee to sign up but she emailed the guy in charge and he said you didn't. So you just put the info in the boxes with the stars an when you get to the box that asks the agency or organization you belong to you can put anything. After you sign up go here and reply to the post voting for #12. Because I really want her to win I'm doing a giveaway for some of my favorite fabrics. You get a fat quarter of each of these two amazing prints and all you have to do is vote for my sister and you get an entry! How cool is that?! So just come back here after you have voted and leave a comment saying you voted. Oh yes, the contest will end tomorrow at 2 pm EST, thats when the voting for her essay ends as well. So hurry on over and cast your vote!


Okay and if you have made it this far here is a sneek peek of some of our adventures we have had in the last 6 months.

Virginia beach was amazing!

Emma LOVES the metro even though she wouldn't smile for the camera. Its harder to get her to smile in pictures than Gracie!

This was just Gracie smiling...I couldn't resist.

and lastly a picture of Ems running on the Boardwalk
