 Week 8: Holding Hands

Today is a really beautiful day outside. Our friends invited us to an impromptu playdate at the park this morning while Brooke was at school. It melts my heart when I see my girls holding hands. So sweet!

Week 7: Ginny

Friday we got to have a wonderful visit with my precious niece Ginny. The girls had so much fun together, and they played for hours. Aunt Beth and Kelly came over to spend some time with her too. It was a flood of emotions seeing her again and thinking about her journey to this point. I pray that God's will is working for the best in her life. I am hopeful that we will be able to be more involved in her life now that she will be living in Texas again.

Valentine's Day 2012

Claire, Brooke, Keely

 We had a sweet Valentine's Day. It began with Daddy making heart shaped pink pancakes and sausage. Yum! The girls each got cards from Mommy & Daddy and a few fun things in a bag, including Valentine's socks. Brooke had fun at her class party. She gave princess Valentine cards with glow stick bracelet, ring, or sticker attached. She brought home a ton of Valentines and she made a special one for me. :) Directly from school we went to Jason's Deli to have our lunch date with our playgroup. We all exchanged Valentines there too. David rounded out the day by surprising me with takeout from On the Border, beautiful flowers, and chocolate covered strawberries for me and Brooke. He also got one flower each for the girls but they destroyed them a few minutes after they got them. They tried to go after my flowers too but I saved most of them.

Our Valentine's Day was full of hugs and sticky hair!

I am so blessed to have these three!

10 on the 10th

 So I snagged this idea from my friend Lori. I started at 10am on the 10th, taking a picture at the top of each hour. Grandma was at our house that day, and I don't think she knew I was doing this. I must have looked kind of funny taking pictures so often of the girls. ;) Oh and I only took pics on my phone and I Instagrammed them up!

10:00AM - Playing with the "neighborhood"

11:00AM - Waiting in Carpool Line to pick up Brooke

12:00PM - Eating Lunch at the "big table"

1:00PM - Running around like crazy doing races. Yes, that's a doll carrier on Brooke's booty. Not sure why....

Also at 1:00PMish - Claire playing this game on my phone.

2:00PM - Brooke finished painting her piggy bank.

3:00PM - Popcorn bag for snack. This was shortly before they dumped both bags out on to the carpet. yay!

4:00PM - My sweet Claire watching "A Dolphin Tale".

5:00PM - I was at work....

6:00PM - I was at work....

Anyway, here's another cute pic from the morning.

And another cute pic while you wait.

7:00PM - I was at work....

8:00PM - I was at work....

9:00PM - I was on a date! With my husband! At a restaurant! :D Thanks Grandma for making this possible.

10:00PM - On our way home from our date. The moon looked pretty cool but my phone couldn't capture it..

It was a great day! I look forward to doing this again next month.

Week 6: Funny

We hadn't done this in a while. One of the joys of having a Mac Computer is the Photo Booth feature. We made many many silly pictures and even a dancing video. This is Brooke and Claire looking pretty funny and having fun.
