Happiness is new underwear!

Hannah have been asking to go potty on the potty chair! As a reward for trying, she gets a sticker to add to her Potty Chart. If she goes, she gets chocolate! This has been greatly effective for us so far and we're excited for the advancement. Lately she has been using the toilet 3 times a day! Another perk? New panties! Hannah's favorite are her Curious George!

My kids are the cutest!

I love my kids! I have been spending a lot of time just watching them and trying to burn the moments into my brain. I'm losing my babies.

Jack melts my heart with his sweetness and smiles. He is incredibly engaging and very entertaining. He loves the attention from his sis and lights up when she walks into the room. He doesn't care to play alone, instead is content to sit on a lap or at the table with the rest of us and just watch the world happen.

Hannah is turning into such a little lady. She has the sweetest comments and keeps the greatest conversation. She is a quick mimic and wants to grow up too fast! Whether it's lotion or chapstick or jewelry -- she's embracing it all. She is a local celebrity at our local Starbucks. She recently was sitting with me, staring off into space and when I asked what she was thinking about, she said "you". I asked what about and she replied "you're so pretty." ! Can you stand it? She also tells me she loves me "SOOOO much -- like a pickle." Her latest favorite playmate is Ginger. Our dog is a saint for all the commands Hannah throws at her.

Support Artists!

I love Etsy.com and have just recently spent anytime there. I am blown away (and intimidated) by some of the talent and skill people have and are selling. Check it out and go one step further by taking the "Buy Handmade" pledge for the holiday season. Click on the pledge pic to the right and you'll be linked right up!

Happy Independant's Day!

We had Nana over for a relaxing bbq on the 4th and hung out in the backyard with the kids. As Hannah likes to say, "Happy Indee-pantees Day!"

Girls, girls, girls

These 3 have been spending a great amount of time together with their monthly art dates and variety of events. I love seeing them create friendships and bond together. I love these pictures because it seems as though we are getting a glimpse of a private moment being shared between them, almost as if in mid-conversation.

Tea Party!

Hannah was invited to a birthday Tea Party for her friend Anali. The girls looked absolutely lovely and had a blast dressing up, dancing and sipping lemonade. It's a blast having a girl!

Kids in the bath

Hannah absolutely loves every chance she gets to hang with her baby bro. Here is a couple pics of the 2 of them sharing bath time. Hannah wanted him to stay in there and play, but he got too cold after about 5 minutes. It will be so fun as he gets older and is able to interact with her more.
