New Pics of Baby Girl

Last night as Charly was dozing, I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of how cute she is. As you can see she is a pampered baby. She is double wrapped and on the boppy. When we do get her comfortable she sleeps for several hours at a time. Thank goodness.

Jesus Beep

I love how Owen's 2 year old mind works. Many of you are familar with the Sunbeam song.... Jesus wants me for a SunBEAM! (Shout the beam part). That's one of Owen's favorite songs so we sing it often. Of course he hears sunBEEP and sings it that way. I love it every time. I'll sing it the right way, but I have no intention of correcting him any time soon. So now in the evenings when we put him to bed and pray with him (he says the prayers) he ends it in the name of Jesus Beep Amen! I love it! Just one more way being a mother has brought joy to my life. :)

Catching Up - Again

You might have noticed that this post and the following two or three are all posted within 30 minutes of each other. Well that's what happens when you have two kids to keep up with. You catch up when you can.

Daddy and Charly

She's moving around, but still very floppy.

You can't see here very well, but she has blue eyes, and her
hair isn't falling out, maybe she will never be a bald baby.

This is the wonderful gift I received from Owen on Mother's Day.

And the cake Owen decorated at Publix for Mother's Day. Under all the spoonfuls of sprinkles it says "Love you", the lady in the Publix bakery helped him, it was so sweet.

And last but not least, this is one of the few blossoms in our backyard. I'm glad to see it bloom.

First Swim (Splash) Party of the Year

The other day we held the first swim party of the year in my bath tub. It was more like a splash party because there was not much room for swimming. The kids had fun. I remember asking my mom to for permission to do stuff like this when I was a kid. Being a child can be so much fun. :)

Taylor's Award Ceremony

Yesterday was Award Day for Taylor, one of the many indicators that school is almost out! Taylor received two awards and one certificate. First is the Attendance Award, then the Cooperation Award, and finally the Completion of the First Grade Certificate. Great job Taylor! We are very proud of all your hard work and accomplishments this year.

On the way home.

Today I like being a mom because of how much fun I have with Owen. He is a great source of entertainment and tons of love. On the way home from church he was telling me, "Mom, I'm Hunky!" He kept yelling it over and over. If you are not experienced with 2-year-old talk, I'll translate, "Mom I'm Hungry, and I want to eat right now!" So I tried to take his mind off his hungry tummy and we talked about passing cars and trucks and the cows we saw. I described how we were driving home and when we got home that we needed to change clothes, take off our shoes, make lunch.... and on and on. As I'm describing all this to him I look back at him and he is taking off his shoes saying "I hunky". I love my kid. He's smart enough and hungry enough to try trading in his shoes before we got home. That's working efficiently!
