The last few weeks of our lives...

The girls and I have spent a lot of time at my parents the last several weeks while Brian has been traveling. When he is gone, we usually go eat dinner with Mimi & Papa Jim. It's been great for the girls to get to spend time with my parents. Plus while Brian is gone, I have the opportunity to get a break - always a blessing!!

Annie & Papa Jim

Annie & Ellie - Annie looks like she is about to fall asleep.


"This little piggy went to market. This little piggy stayed home. And, this little piggy...."

Mollie & Ellie laughing with Papa Jim.

Annie & Mimi playing and laughing.

We've also had some fun opportunities for a few mini-photo shoots over the last several days.

To help Annie go to sleep, I've discovered that all we have to do is give her a lovie. One of her favorites is the monogrammed Carter's tag lovie that Karen gave Annie.


Ellie wanted to take a quick picture with Annie just before school one morning. If only Annie would have looked at the camera....

After a long day, Mollie found chocolate pudding in the fridge. Of course, I couldn't say no to the girls. They were being so sweet and obeying. I'm still wondering if Mollie actually ate as much as she got on her face.

And then the other day, I walked into the bathroom to bathe the girls; and this is what I found. I had to stage it b/c Mollie saw me with the camera. I just loved watching them play when they didn't know anyone was watching.
