The girl's pictures

They turned out beautifully! I love them! It was actually a really great experience and we had a lot of fun . We got frozen yogurt afterwards and then went home and watched a movie.  It was a hectic but great day!

I can't believe how fast time goes by.  It's a cliche, I know but it's absolutely true!
We just finished Christmas (it was such a crazy hectic holiday season! ) and we're about to usher in 2014.

I'm here in bed recovering from a stomach bug. Chris was working all day so it was basically me on the couch watching my girls play.  They are such great girls!  They have the occasional fight- usually over Lilly taking or ruining something of Leah's or Leah invading Lilly's personal space.

But they usually play so well together.  I really lucked out with them!  We had their pictures taken yesterday and I was so worried about how Lilly would do but we were all very impressed how well she took directions and the fact that after 2 hours she never even complained.  They both did so good!

They make me laugh and melt my heart.  When I was in the bathroom throwing up (tmi -sorry ) they both - at different times-said to me "I hope you feel better mommy" how sweet is that?!  I'm a very lucky momma,  that's for sure!

Lilly vs nursery

Today as I dropped Lilly off at nursery she started screaming as if someone cut her arm off! It broke my heart into a million pieces. When the lady tried to pick her up Lilly ran away lol!

What was so precious was when I went to pick her up she jumped out of the lady's arm and was screaming momma momma and ran to me. It was sad and cute at the same time. I love that she missed me. Leah loved nursery and never cried, not once when we left her. She's such a people person. Lilly doesn't care for babies her age at all. She loved playing with the big kids. I love my girls.

Love my silly Lilly bug

Lilly is such a joy for us.... and a little bit of a challenge! She is so feisty and knows what she wants and when she wants it. She definitely likes doing things on her terms. Leah is so great with being patient with her.... most of the time.

Leah's School pic 2012

I can't believe how big my sweet girl is getting! She's doing AMAZING in school. She's made honor roll twice and is in the top group of her class! She also actually enjoys doing her homework and can't wait to do it when she gets home.

She's made us so proud! Always has. I love my Leah Rose!

Valentine's (really belated)

This Leah's owl Valentine's box for school! So fun. We helped Lilly make a puppy but she hardly ever holds still long enough for me to take a picture of her that's not blurry. :(. Oh well. Happy belated Valentine's!
