Swimming, Shopping Cart cover, and tribute to diva...

First of all, I wanted to have a little "tribute" to my dad's horse Diva. She was pregnant with a little colt and was due in about two months. Last week, she was found dead in the pasture and had miscarried. We are not exactly sure what happened, but there must have been a complication. Diva was my dad's baby......and he was so excited to have a little colt. We are so sad that Diva is gone. Luckily, we were able to ride her and spend time with her over the summer.

Here is a picture of Abe, Adeline and Diva when Adeline was about 4 weeks old.


On a happier note, I took Adeline swimming for the first time this last Thursday to a mommy and me swim class. She absolutely loved it. She was kicking her legs the entire time and had a big smile on her face. It was cute because in the class they sing little songs, splash around and get the babies used to the water. Next week, they are even going to have Adeline go under water and do the "dolphin dive". I am going to be more scared than she will be! She doesn't look like she was happy in this picture, but she was.....just a little cold at this point :)


So, I got a sewing machine for Christmas and have had my mind set that I can make whatever I want. I probably can, but I don't know if they will turn out very well. I made this shopping cart cover for Adeline and finally finished it last night. I pretty much made the pattern up, so it took me a long time to finish. I didn't know if it would turn out, but I am pretty proud of the final product! Now I just need to go to the store and pray that it will fit in the shopping cart :)
