My homecoming went EXACTLY as I envisioned it would! I got off the plane, came around the corner and spotted Travis and the girls. Madeline came the quickest, kind of walking/running up to me; Emma walked towards me watching my face to see if I was excited to see her; and miss Garmai didn’t want [...]

I’m Headed Home
A few more of my favorite pics from the trip! Rebekah is doing such a good job with James, especially with the added stress of working full time, but I’m super proud of what a good mother she is! And, he is such an enjoyable little guy! You can see from his eyes and his [...]

A few pics from the trip!
Some pics from the trip! We had a quiet day today again because it was pouring down rain…not the best day to sight see! We did have a big shopping trip to Target! I’m so enjoying spending time here (the chance to spend time with Rebekah and family will not come around too often!), but [...]

Goodbyes and meltdowns
Goodbyes are always so difficult for the girls…for obvious reasons…but especially so for Garmai. She is normally grouchy and withdrawn to Grandma before Grandma leaves to go somewhere, and not always real receptive to her being back. All the girls have to adjust to family and friends coming to town and then readjust to them being gone. [...]

Just some fun pics we took a few days ago! As you can see, Madeline’s current favorite outfit is her panties and a tail…its hard to keep clothes on that girl! Tonight Garmai dressed Madeline up “warm” for a walk down the street and her little getup included daisy duke shorts, tall black boots with heels, [...]

Our Total Transformation
Last night all our girls went over to Bridgito’s house, as they like to call her. It was a slumber party, with the agenda including sewing, hot tubbing, movies, and of course, food!
So, Travis and I had the house to ourselves…and we went to bed the earliest we have all week! PAR…TY…ANIMALS! I told Travis [...]

Shots, shots, go away, come again…well, on second thought, don’t come again please!!
Just have to show off my nephew James. He belongs to my sister Rebekah and her husband Mark. There is one picture of him taking his first bath that I think is hysterical…he is clearly not thrilled!
We are regrouping today from immunizations last night. Emma and Madeline both did a pretty good job, both [...]

The sun DID come up today!
The girls just had an overall fantastic day today, playing so well together as I rested some and did household stuff. At one point I came upstairs and they were “driving” in their car somewhere and they had rigged up seat belts for themselves out of yarn, and had attached them to walls and door [...]

The sun will come up, tomorrow…
So, here we are, at the close of another day…a day when all I wanted to do was tell my children, “I am leaving to go get ice cream, and will return when the whining is through!” I think the fact that I didn’t leave to go get ice cream (or in my [...]
