Alaska

Rob and I spent the first week of July in Alaska. We were celebrating our 10 year anniversary and it was amazing.

Alaskan Railway from Anchorage to Seward.

Momma and Baby Moose, as seen from the train.

Our haul from a day out fishing. That big guy weighed 101 pounds.

Just a great photo.

Humpback whale diving.

A glacier calving.

Scale of a glacier. It was over 700 feet tall.

Mt. McKinley

On oxygen while we flew over Mt. McKinley.

Deana Rose Farmstead

One of the best places in town to take kids is the Deana Rose Farmstead. It is in the middle of a suburb, but is a working farm. There are goats, cows, pigs, turkeys, chickens, bison, horses, etc. for the kids to see. One of Amelia's favorite parts is petting the goats.

We had some friends visit at the beginning of the summer and thought it'd be fun for Amelia and their daughter to go. Here are some pictures Rob took of them having fun.

Amelia clothes

Just a quick run down of some of the things I've made for Amelia this summer.

Maggie Mae dress aka the cutest dress I've ever made. Little Red Riding Hood with pockets!

Oliver + S Seashore Sundress and matching bloomers.

Go-To Shift dress in pink gingham seersucker.

Oliver + S Family Reunion Dress. This was the birthday dress that she didn't want to wear.

Random knit racer back dress. I also made one in a navy/white stripe.

Also sewn, but not pictured. I made 4 pairs of biker type shorts for wearing under skirts and dresses. I also made a pink skort and a blue and white striped skort.

Finally, an Update.

I know it has been forever since a blog update. Life has been busy and Amelia has entered a new phase in which she HATES having her picture taken.

Anyway, a few weeks ago Rob took Amelia up to Omaha for the weekend. He had some guy stuff to do so Aunt Kate took charge of spoiling her. These are a few pictures I managed to sneak in before they left for daddy/daughter weekend.
