Sleeping Beauty

If I am ever in doubt if Eliza is sick, the main give away is that she takes a nap. This past week she was sleeping everywhere. She carried her blanket around all day and wherever she landed she'd fall asleep.


This was right after she woke up from a nap. She came to the stairs and asked Keith to bring her down. He said, "Just a minute" and just a minute later this is what we saw. Don't worry - after the picture we pushed her back and closed the gate.

Life is Good

Savannah's first food, she wasn't sure what was going on at first, but after a while she was really enjoying her peaches. My peaches are in the bowl on the table - complete with vanilla ice cream (thank you Bro. & Sis. Skinner), an ice cream cone, and caramel topping. I was really enjoying it too.
Eliza wanted to help clean the sink (aka: play in the water). I thought bringing the horse over was quite ingenious.
Life has been pretty good lately. I've been able to really sit and enjoy my girls a lot lately. It might have something to do with the fact that I have tons of laundry and whenever I sit down to do it Rachel thinks I'm sitting down to give her cuddles. If she isn't in my lap she is sprawled all over the laundry basket trying to keep me from taking anything out. She just sits there with this "I dare you" giggle across her face. Savannah has been talking, rolling and smiling like crazy and more than ever just likes me to be around. Eliza is learning that being a big girl means cleaning your room ("What? I can't change my clothes 20 times a day and have you clean it all up?"). It also means helping Mom with younger siblings and playing nice. Overall she has been very pleasant to be with. We've also been blessed with great weather allowing the girls to play outside a lot.
Mom & Dad K gave me a great book for Mother's Day/my birthday entitled "I Am A Mother" by Jane Clayson Johnson. It was simply wonderful!
Overall - life is good.
