Okay first, this is my first somewhat finished Renaissance outfit. I've since hemmed the blue dress. And next time we'll try to lace it up more straight.
Second, this is Leo on his 5th birthday.
So cute!! Thanks to Andres (Leo's cousin in Colombia) for posting these on his Facebook page. Facebook rocks!
This is Leo now--on his 28th birthday.
So cute--yet again!!!
“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.” Elder Boyd K. Packer - November 1993 Ensign

"Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories."-John Wilmot
"Science advances, it's like a ladder--one step leads to another. But art isn't like that. Art is about being human. Children make art instinctively. Archaeologists know that when they find evidence of art, they're found evidence of human beings. It expresses all that is best in us--our desires, our hopes, our truth. And so, art changes, but it doesn't get better."-Sister Wendy Beckett

Great Sewing! Looks very authentic.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEO!
Wow, Once again I am soo impressed that you are sewing everybody's costumes! It looks great!
Oh yeah, Blake comes through Chicago alot, and was wondering what Leo's schedule was. I know he would love to "run into him." We miss you guys, and all the fun game nights. :D One of these days when life settles down a bit, we should use our free benefits and either you all can pop in here, or we'll pop in there. That would be such a blast!
I got totally distracted looking at your blogs and adorable pictures while looking for some info from Andrea's blog (I'm homeschooling again this year) and was blown away when I saw your pictures. I don't suppose anyone has ever mentioned how much you look like your mom? That's a compliment because unless she photoshops all pictures of her, your mom looks the same as she did when I was a little girl. She's amazing. Your costumes are adorable. My husband (Spanish teacher) loved the music on your blog. Leslie
So now I've commented 3 times on your same post, I'm pathetic :D I know, but I was wondering if you knew how to make a tutu. I have been searching online and it just keeps taking me to places to buy a tutu, and I really just want to make my own. If you know how that would be so great if you could share the info, how much tulle is needed, and directions for making one. Thanks so much! Oh yeah, 3rd times the charm, Happy Birthday LEO!!
