The First Baby

Lilly Sue is our first baby, we adopted her January 2000.

She was born November 1999.

 This big eyed purr'ing mischief maker has been my baby for a long time.

This kitten'ish cat is a 12 year senior this year. 

A Child's Point of View

Gracie asked if she could take some pictures... here they are.

 This is me thinking about the answer... or what I would like when I think about it.

Time to start using wrinkle cream? Oye!

Thumb Sucking Best Friends Forever

Wish Everyday was a Fun-Day!

This is what the girls did for the morning on Saturday... and what they wanted to do on Sunday.

Love that Wii-time is fun family time too!

*Please note the Florida shirt Grace is wearing, she "has to wear it because she cannot wait to see Uncle Lou".*

What a difference 10 days makes during the winter months... daylight comes earlier and I love it!

No Mommy's Allowed

This beautiful face said, "No Mommy's Allowed."

This beautiful face said, "No Mommy's Allowed."

These three beautiful faces that are all dressed up and ready to go went to the Daddy-Daughters Dance.

Sometimes being a daddy has a benefit that mommy is jealous of.

Kiss Em Lips

I don't know a mama who doesn't love seeing those kiss em lips on their babies faces... these are my two most favorite kiss em lips pictures. Perfection from Heaven.

GIST Day 8

Today Kailee had her first day at soccer practice. We were suppose to wake up early and be there by 8:30 a.m. Jon let me sleep in until 8 because Gracie wasn't able to go from being sick. He had her dressed, feed and her hair in a pony tail. Plus, I woke up to the smell of coffee waiting for me. Nothing better than a daddy that has everything in order. I'm so grateful for him.

Heck ache.

This morning Gracie woke up and said, "I have a heck ache."
I asked, "Where does it hurt?"
Gracie replied, "In my head is where the heck hurts."
I said, "Sorry the heck is hurting. What can we do to make it better."
Gracie said, "Heck ache medicine like the kind that is pink and round."
I said, "You think it works on heck aches?"
Gracie said, "Yeah it does you said you had a heck ache and it worked for you."

GIST

I was reading through past enteries and came upon this 365 days of Grace In Small Things. It is perfect.

Day 6: A stay at home sick day with my girls, filled with cuddles, snuggles and little silly moments. 

We snuggled on the couch and talked about all the fun things that a person can do with their hands. Perfectly hilarious. 

Restroom Follies

Kailee was in the bathroom, I hear,"um, can someone please come and help me a little."

Then as I'm about to say, "I'll be right there." She says, "Oh ok, never mind I'm not trapped after all."

***********

Gracie was in the public bathroom with me. We can hear a baby crying.

She says to me, "man some babies shouldn't be allowed in bathrooms."

I replied, "When you were a baby you cried when you had your diaper changed too."

She says, "Oh mom, you have a short memory."

************

When we were camping over the summer, we were down at the beach.

I had the girls there by myself while Jon was working. Kailee said she needed to go to the bathroom.

Gracie looked at her from the water and says, "oh just pee in the water, it's ok, dad said."
