Here are some pics I've taken at random over the past few weeks. The one above is of Elizabeth putting on "mommy shoes".
Success! By the way, I cannot help but to put her hair in cute pigtails...I just love it! I did the same to Ava Grace when she was that little. Actually, I still do from time to time, when she will allow.
I kept trying to have Elizabeth put the shoes on the correct feet, but she'd reverse them every time.
See, this is how they go, Mommy.
I took this shot of the girls early one morning after they'd just gotten out of bed. Aren't they adorable? Ava Grace is always so chipper right out of bed. Elizabeth needs some personal space and a few minutes to get happy.
Here is Ava Grace painting away on a piece of cardboard she was "reusing". She loves to reuse objects that would otherwise be thrown away for artwork. That's my little green girl!
As you can see, there is a tree with red fall leaves on the far left, then Mommy, Daddy, Ava Grace and Eliabeth (the girls have on matching red shoes).
Ava Grace outgrew naps at 4 years old, but occasionally she needs some rest in the afternoons. I was doing work in the office one day while Elizabeth was sleeping and Ava was reading on the couch listening to "the coffee house" on Sirius FM. I walked into the room to find her like this.
I guess she was really tired that day. She slept for over an hour there just like that. Precious.
Adam has worked so very hard on our yard. He's planted several rose bushes of different kinds and loves to have the girls help him cut fresh roses. Elizabeth is practicing her florist skills.
Ava loves to smell the roses and comments how each has it's own fragrance.
Ummmm....smell, Mommy!
Ava proudly shows off a little pink rose.
Here's Elizabeth with a toy magnifying glass trying to figure out how to use it correctly. She regularly makes me laugh so hard!
Being Mommy to our two girls is such a tremendous blessing. I learn something new and wonderful about them on a daily basis and couldn't be a happier Mommy.
Boy, do I feel like the luckiest Mommy in the world! Adam and the girls woke me with breakfast in bed Sunday morning! I got a sweet card and a beautiful necklace from www.Etsy.com (my favorite online store). We took these pics of our family in our backyard.
Here are just the girls and me. I simply cannot believe how big they are getting!
Ava Grace and Elizabeth decided to tackle me in the living room floor and "help" me get into a yoga pose.
Boy was I worn out by Sunday evening! I thank God daily for each moment I'm given and for my beautiful, happy family. Words cannot express how blessed I feel.
