Look Familiar?

I was going through our pictures the other day when I came across one of Lucy's early pics from the first week. Thought she looked pretty familiar, so I put her picture side be side with one of Lily's. Anyone see any resemblance?

Really?

Somehow I found enough energy to mop the kitchen floor this morning.  A couple of hours later I witness Lily spraying her juice box like a foundation all over the floor.  Really? 

Lucy doesn't cry too much but she has managed to cry every time I drop Layna off and pick her up from pre-school!  She cries so loud that Layna's pre-school teacher and I can't even hear each other- so now we don't even attempt to talk.  Really?

Layna has been sick on and off for 2 weeks so we took her to the doctor.  The doctor said she has a terrible sinus infection that was turning into pneumonia.  Really?

Last but not least-  before we had the baby our neighbors did not have dogs.  Since we have had the baby ALL of our surrounding neighbors got dogs and they bark a lot!  Especially during nap time and at night.  Really?

Okay, now some positive thoughts.  My Uncle and Aunt are coming to visit this weekend and we are going to celebrate my dad's birthday!  Layna is swimming like a pro and on her way to making the swim team and she isn't even 5 yet.  You go Girl!  My loving husband is already in the process of planning a family vacation for next summer- YES!  Now, what about one without the kids?

Play time!

Just another fun packed evening at home with all my girls. It seems like more often than not, it's the older girls and I wrestling, dancing, singing, chasing, you name it. Mom and baby Lucy are somewhere else in the house taking it easy. But I'm always looking for opportunities to escape the madness of toddlerville and visit babyville. I love getting the chance to hold my little LuLu (my nickname for Lucy) when she's actually awake. We seem to all be finding our little niche in this new family of five, and things seem to be calming down. I'm definitely looking forward to the 3-day weekend. I'd love to spend it at the pool, but for some reason it seems to feel more like November out lately. Anyone up for a BBQ?

Living the Dream...

Hello all. I've put together an 8 min slideshow video with pictures from the first few days after we welcomed our little Lucy into the world. Just click the link below. There is sound to go along with it and you can also make the show fullscreen. Let me know what you think.
