Mini me sewing


Yesterday Rebekah decided that she wanted sewing lessons to start. She wants to make things for her dolls, so I decided to go ahead and start teaching her. She had a blast and was so proud of herself for doing so well. She made a pillow to start with and did surprisingly well. I can't believe how straight she sews! This child is a little mini me. I find her now almost every morning asleep with her pillow and blanket and a book under the night light, she looks like me, she loves crafts, and she acts like me as a child. Dad, your curse has come true! I have to admit though, it's fun to have a child who loves what I love.

Check out the Holt blog!

Hey guys! Check out our post at holtfamilynewsletter.blogspot.com. It takes so long to post videos that I didn't want to post them here also. You have to see this waterslide our neighbors have. The kids had a blast with it.

Ali's Speech

Sorry I haven't posted in ages. Below is a link to a youtube video for a speech I gave a couple of weeks ago. We held a panel discussion on President Obama's middle east speech. Part V is my speech. It is really weird to watch myself speaking.

Love you all!
