A few rainy weeks ago I stumbled upon this on Pinterest and thought it would be a nice craft project to do with the girls as it was so rainy and we were stuck indoors on evenings. Here is the result.....

This was a fun little crafting project to do with the girls..they really enjoyed selecting which pages from old magazines they wanted the birds, cutting up the paper and gluing it all together.We just used what we had at hand around the house and went for it. I particularly enjoy these times with the girls because I utilize this time to talk about relevant topics like nature, colours, shapes. Armelle especially enjoys it as well as she gets the chance to showcase her knowledge and educate Erin on subjects she already knows. All in all ..we had a great time.....if you craft with your kids please share and put a link to your blog or site I will be happy to check it out! Chelsea

As a parent...you often wonder how your kids will turn out, will they look like you? Of the many traits you possess which ones will they carry.......well wonder no more. Armelle has many of my traits. I used to model for many years since I was 9 and she has shown some talent in that area. Exhibit A.what's not to love about that smile???

What traits do your kids possess of yours??? please tell!

Sibling Bonding

Even before Erin  was out of my tummy Armelle was attached to her and today they are as close as ever. What a joy to see them play together immensely immersed in each other. With Erin I had the most brutal pregnancy but Armelle was at my side to give me cuddles and always wanted to sleep next to my tummy to feel Erin move and to talk to her.Together they are like Kindred spirits.I truly cannot ask for more at the moment.I am enjoying seeing them grow up together as sisters and as individuals. I only pray that they stay this close throughout life...but by the looks of things I am presently assured. Have any siblings you are very close to since childhood or do you have children who are particularly close? please  share.
