So on Friday night Erin came over and made home-made chicken noodle soup! YUMO! I could possibly do it again without her, but WHY??
Sabrina took her first little ride in the high-chair. She loved it. It's funny, she's a mini-Ella. She wants to look out and be part of the party -not much of a cuddler... (humph)
How cute!
This is Mia showing Sabrina her support of the take-over. I'm sure Mia would love the freedom to roam from her seat. :D
Love you, Erin! Here's Lance and Ella making breakfast for mommy. How sweet is that?!
Mia got in on the action, though in a slightly less helpful manner... This is right before stealing some of that cheese!
Can I just say how stinkin' ADORABLE this little cartoon is?! My girls just love it! They sing a song called "Gitchi-Gitchi-Goo" that Mia seems to find irresistible. It's hilarious. If you sing it to her, she'll sing along (in Mia-neese) and make you her new best friend.
Yesterday Mom and I hit the super Saturday spiel and got some crafties going. My sister Mary is up in Logan for a few days because of her sinus surgery (bless her heart --and NOSE) and I’ll get to rope her into helping me finish some of said crafties in the next few days. :D Get ready, Mary!!
Ho! Today I took Chaedon to my ex-Orthodontist who did my braces as a teenager. I love him to pieces. He has an amazing wife and children -whom I used to babysit! It was a total blast from the past.
Chaedon gets his braces on next week...
And I'm getting mine on soon too!!! WHAT, you might ask?! Well, I never got a permanent retainer, and my teeth have moved a lot and crowded somewhat as well. Aesthetically, it's all fixable (7 to 8 months, he says) for the cost of my plan's coverage, which means I'll never have to pay a dime for him re-fixing my teeth! WOO! I felt terrible showing him his hard work/what time has done to it, but it will be awesome to realign everything and put my smile back on track. :D
Look forward to some serious documentation. It's a thousand times more interesting as an adult. Call me metal mouth or brace-face, but look out world, my smile is improving!!
The other day Lance told me he had a surprise for me... He took me out to the van and opened the door. Upon looking in, the BEST CHRISTMAS ALBUM EVER was playing: Kenny and Dolly: Once Upon A Christmas and he'd put a bag of cinnamon pine cones under the middle console. It was SO AWESOME! Nothin' but cheer in that van, baybee.
Love you, Lance.
Can I just say, I absolutely LOVE these books? They are truly what got me reading as an adult. I have never been much of a reader and unfortunately read quite slowly. Yes, I got good grades in school, but I had to WORK for them!
In my spare time (whilst cartoons buzz in the background for kiddos) I have found a bit of refuge re-reading this series (finished re-reading the Twilight series recently too) -allowing my brain to take a few moments off and visit a different world. Thank you, JK Rowling. : )
This is another picture that Mary did.... I thought it was lovely and captured the baby so sweetly! Now I have too many to choose from for our Christmas cards! ...Speaking of which, I'm not quite sure I have my list anymore (lost all our computer files last spring), so there might be a 'holla' for some addresses!
Here are some of the images that Mary has taken/ edited for us -they're amazing. Mary, I love you so much -this is really becoming quite the talent.
Chaedon and Brina.
Me and Lance -my favorite shot.
Me and Mia-Babes.
The baby!
My Ella.
Milly-Kisses.
