"Mommy" and Baby -- Day 176

Dolls for Africa -- Day 42

My Mom has a heart for Africa. She began making dresses to send to little girls there and today she completed a batch of dolls to send along with the dresses. I thought they were so cute and colorful.

Dolly -- Day 10

Little Mommy -- Day 263

Emelyn will one day grow up to be a great mommy. She loves her dolls. She has so many, but manages to remember all their names and take care of most of them. :) Sometimes her least favorites get left in the toy box. Sometime I'll have to count how many dolls she has in the house. Half of them are technically Ellise's dolls, but Emelyn is the better mommy and Ellise makes a great aunt. :)
Left to right the baby's names are Elizabeth, Noah, Annie, Abbie and Ashley and Emelyn is holding Olivia.

Matryoshka -- Day 68

We went to a Russian Dinner put on by friends who are missionaries to Russia. The whole room was decorated with various Russian decorations and souvenirs. I loved the many Matryoshka Dolls or Nesting Dolls scattered about. Matryoshka dolls are a popular souvenir in Russia.
