Lance and Shella May helping sew.
Shella May helping out.
One of Shella May's jobs was to find thread of each color for Grandma.
Yesterday we decided to make some gifts for the orphanage that Shella May lived at. We are sending a few DVD's, some chocolate and "silkies" for the kids. Both the boys love sleeping with a silky, Lance started the trend at 4 months old and it still continues in our house for Liam and Shella May. My mom made Shella May one a few weeks ago and before that Liam had loaned her one. All they are is a small square of satin feeling fabric to cuddle next to when you are sleeping. Yesterday my mom did all the sewing, Ryan ironed them and I did all the cutting and anything else that needed to be done. All three kids stopped by at different parts of the day to help, but it was short lived. We worked for about 6 hours and made over 30 of them. I told my mom that we have it down so well we could go into business together. I know it doesn't look like Shella May is having fun in the pictures, but she really was excited about helping, it just doesn't show in her face at picture time.

I think that it is wonderful that you are making all these little gifts to send over to Shella May's orphanage. The children will appreciate it all so much. I have a sewing maching but I've only used it to make dog scarves for Sid. I could really use some tips!
That looks like it was a lot of work! It is so great of you guys to give your time for such a worthy endeavor!
