These two love each other so much, that I can't even manage to separate them at bathtime! They also help me cook dinner together, and share devotion and mealtime together. And that, my friends, is multi-tasking! ...

The Old Man Is Snoring
Guess who's daddy snores? I bought this t-shirt for Ella when Forever 21 still carried baby clothes. I didn't seriously shop there for her, but I couldn't resist this shirt and we loved how it looked on her. Now Sophie is almost big enough for it and with her turquoise leggings she looks positively adorable. Have a mentioned that we can't get enough of this girl? ...
Water Babies
I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing my sun-kissed girls floating in the water and snuggling in their towels, but we have at least two more months of lazy afternoons by the pool, so sit back, relax and enjoy. ...
Zoo "Aminals"
Ella and I have been talking about visiting the zoo "aminals" all summer long. Finally, this week our schedules and the weather seemed to cooperate and we loaded up for a day of fun. Gran went with me to help wrangle the girlies since I had Ella, Molly & Sophie all to myself. The girls were so much fun to watch and they had a great time. And just in case you wondered what Sophie was up to on her first visit to the zoo, she slept the entire time we were there. She only opened her eyes at our little picnic! ...
Birthday Girl
This week, we celebrated K's 25th birthday! ...
Fireflies
One night while we were sitting on the front porch watching SD cut grass, we caught a glimpse of glowing light flitting across our yard. Ella had never noticed fireflies, so the hunt was on. ...
Book Worm
Today marks the beginning of my last week at home with the girls; it is bittersweet. I would give anything to spend my days with them, being lazy, swimming, cuddling and reading books. On the other hand, I love my career and days out of the house make me long to see them and spend every second with them in the afternoons. Since our return from the beach, Ella and I have been doing some things we've been talking about since Sophie arrived. First up, was a visit to our local library. Just like her mommy, my Ella is a bookworm. We attempted a visit to the library before we left for vacation, but the librarian was sick. Ella cried all the way home. This visit, however, was successful and met with big smiles all around. She wasn't sure what to expect and I thought she'd be a little ...
Farewell, Favorite Place
Vacation Day 7 - Saturday, June 19, 2010 We had such a good time at the beach yesterday, that we decided to pull an all-dayer again today. This time, we left Sophie with my aunt Heidi {who keeps the girls while I work} and took daddy to the beach with us. This was my view from the sand. Sweet daddy, a good book and one very happy little girl. and two umbrellas and an awning that made us look like nomads on the beach! Have I mentioned my child is OBSESSED with Doritos? She calls them "ritos" and would eat them all day long if I let her. She cried and whined through two triangles of a bologna sandwich, but grinned ear to ear when she finally got chips! Our last day at the beach was spent digging with cousins and playing in the water. It was beautiful today and we ...
