Several Important Things are there to relate
The most important is that I am now officially an aunt. Her name is Emma Grace. She arrived at five-thirty this morning whilst I was peacefully sleeping at home in bed (Mom stayed up all night at the hospital waiting for her). She weighed 9 pounds 4 ounces. I will be seeing her later today and when that happens I will probably get my picture taken with her and then post the picture on here with further details.
The second important item is that Saturday night we got back from our weekend trip to Virginia to see my cousin Erika star in her school’s production of The Pirates of Penzance. The play was wonderful, very funny, and I had a great visit with Erika. Erika can drive so we went to Walmart and that was quite fun which sort of brings us to the last item.
I am about to finish 12th grade language. The primary reason for this is whilst I was at Walmart I purchased a doll who I’m not going to take out of the packaging until I finish Language. As I really want to open and play with her 12th grade language is getting done with rapidity(I got her Saturday and I’ve almost done two units of school since then). I have a little over two units of school left. Though getting my school done isn’t quite as “Important” as my new niece it certainly has been filling my thoughts more, probably because I haven’t seen my niece yet.
Another thing I’ve doing a great deal of thinking about is the new dress I’m going to be making. It’s approximately based on Sleeping Beauties dress from the movie of the same name. I have a lovely dark blue satiny fabric and a pretty lavender blue satiny fabric and I have also designed a very interesting skirt that I’m very curious to find out if it works. I’m also wanting to open my doll so throughout today I’ll probably be torn between doing school and making my dress and hopefully I’ll have both of those items done before this evening so I can pay proper attention to my niece. I’m sure she’ll be charming. I’m her only aunt though she has several great aunts and so forth. Erin doesn’t have any sisters and John has only one sister therefore I’m quite special. She has several uncles though. So now it’s time for me to get to work on Language and then on sewing and so forth for the rest of the day. I’ll probably write a post dedicated to Emma Grace this evening, this post is just the sneak preview:)
