Morning has broken

Let The Sunshine In!

Let The Sunshine In!
Sometimes I think of this song, when I very first wake up in the morning. "Morning has broken...", but usually not in the restful, peaceful, solemn way that it was intended. Today, apparently, was an exception - some mornings are peaceful and lovely. Here are the girls coloring in the sunshine this morning.

After this activity, the girls took a morning bath. Morning baths are nice because they are typically un-rushed and un-grumpy becuase they are not occuring right before bedtime. Lilly let me put her hair in braids today, then she looked in the mirror and said, I want to wear my braids when I go to school too. I told her I agree. We shared a loving hug and she grinned at me. Then she said, stop touching her hair so she could watch Caillou. Fine.

What a Birthday!

WHAT A BIRTHDAY GIRL!

WHAT A FAMILY!

I think that we had the party to beat all parties. Everyone loved being together and participating in our favorite activity - girl watching.

So, here's all the pictures, enjoy.

Snaky Adventures

David was mowing the lawn the other day and came across this very large garter snake. He caught it in a box for a little while for the girls to study. Apparently, it turned into quite the homeschooling lesson on snakes. Lilly, surprisingly, adopted the snake and was heard saying, "here snaky, snaky" and trying to get it to follow her. Evy just squealed in terror and excitement. Wish I would have been here. Oh, wait - I hate snakes - no I don't. But, the pictures are neat.

We have the coolest Poppa!

Hello family and friends out there in cyber land. My dad, Poppa, was here this weekend helping David while I was gone for the weekend, relaxing at the spa. Okay, not quite the spa - just Monon, but close. Anyway David and Dad each win a gold star and have been promoted from Super-dad and Super-poppa, respectively to Super-dad first class and Super-poppa first class. Poppa wins an additional Certificate of Cuteness under the category of photo of child under age 2- sleeping (which will be sent in an e-mail to follow.) THANKS YOU GUYS!!! I really love you and appreciate you for all your help - Always.
