We love this spunky little girl so much. We cant believe how fast she's growing up!

New Project

I like this one a lot better then my first try. I hope I have enough time to make one for my son as well.

Quilting

So I've been very inspired by my MIL to start quilting again. I thought it would only be fair to make one for Sela first. Here's my first square. It's not perfect, but I'm so proud of myself!

Not much going on in the Roger's household. All we've been up to is getting ready for our newest addition. Lots of cleaning, organizing, crafting..blah blah. The only exciting thing that has happened is our beautiful niece was born last week. Jared's sister had an amazing labor and we're glad we live close by so we've been able to visit her a couple of times. It always amazes me at how fast newborn babies grow and change. Lolohea and Manase named their daughter Leila. I love the name. It's so girly. Sinalei didn't like it when I held her for the first time, but she's use to it now. I hope she's nice to her brother. Sela didn't seem to care much. She kind of just looks at her cousin...she must think she's a little doll because she's so tiny. I'm glad my girls have another cousin close in age that they can be close to.
Sela went back to California with her grandma. Our house is so quiet without her. We miss her spunky little presence in our home, but with her gone I'm able to get so much stuff done. Don't get me wrong I miss her like CRAZY and yes I cried, but now I can rest up a bit. Sinalei misses her sister, but is doing fine. She is such a little angle without Sela around. I guess the only time she would cry is if Sela was picking on her or they weren't sharing. I know Sela is having a blast in California plus I feel Sela needed some extra attention since she'll be an older sibling once again and she's not even three. I know she loves having her sister, but part me feels that she didn't have enough time to herself. So hopefully she's getting spoiled by her grandparents :)
Well 5 more weeks to go! Yesterday some old guy was checking us out at Walmart and he says to me "any day now right"....great way to make me feel like a huge blimp because I have 6 week to go, but luckily I'm getting induced a week early. Anyway I cant wait to meet our son and for our family to be all together again!

Dancing Queen

Sela started dance class this past week. We've been looking forward to this for quite sometime. The day finally came on Wednesday. Sela looked so adorable in her little outfit. The studio is about 15 minutes from where we live. During that time Sela managed to fall asleep. My daughter Sela is a deep sleeper and does not like to be woken up...she's just like her daddy. When we got to the studio I woke her up and dragged her to the dance studio. She was not a happy girl. There were 4 other little girls and all of their mommies were taking pictures. I tried to convince her that she would have so much fun if she would just try it out. Sela cried and begged me to let her sleep...lol. So we have to try again this week. I've been trying to get her to nap earlier so she wont fall asleep. I think we'll just leave an hour early and go to a park so she is all hyped up for class.

Other than dance class nothing too exciting has happened. Sinalei and Sela are becoming such good friends. They love playing with each other. When one wakes up in the morning they want to wake up the other. I love having two girls so close together. They keep each other company and there's nothing like having a sister who you can confide in and have fun with. I look forward to watching them grow up and become closer.

Pregnancy is going well. Had a doctor's appointment this week and it was maybe 5 minutes long. Had to drink the nasty glucose drink. Haven't heard anything back so I am assuming my test came back okay. 8 more long weeks and it's going by like a snail. Wish it would hurry up!
