first that is such a cute pic of eva.
and that is so funny to read.... could of been my same exact day. just change the names and stuff.
so we need to make plans for the 4th of april. is that possible? email me your number please.
Your Grandma Ruth loved to talk about numbers and tabulate lots of things. One day she told me that I shouldn't make a "to do" list, but just at the end of the day a "got done" list. The "got done" list would be greater and everything could be crossed off!
The picture of Eva is so, so, sweet! I want to hold her!
Wow. Thats pretty amazing. It makes me feel like I don't get anything done.
Ha! Ha! That's funny, and eve is so cute!
She is so beautiful!
I always think Ava looks JUST like Rosa, but in that picture I think she looks like Wylie. And she's just adorable. Makes me want my own, until I read the baby numbers and then I start to freak out a little. But I guess those coos and smiles make up for a lot right?
I love all the moments inbetween the numbers...sometimes I really miss those days. You're a great mom!
You have a fan club at our house. My husband came to me and said, "Did you read Shara's Jazz post? She is really funny"
Okay it is not earth shattering, but you have a fan club.
By the way, your day made me tired just reading it. I am also impressed that you finished the laundry. Mine often stops clean, but still in front of the dryer in baskets. We have taken to dressing in the laundry area.
That all sound very familiar...and to think that I don't do very much in a day!!! i love that piture, what a doll!!
You are a busy, busy mama. Did you ever get your shower? I remember an entire day going by with out brushing my teeth when I had newborns. Yikes! Speaking of which, I better go brush them now.
sounds like quite the life! Keep living it and loving it! It was fun to see you and Eva the other week at the baby shower! She is gorgeous!
and I thought I was busy...guess you have me beat! teaching 6th grade is an enormous change to my stay-at-home lifestyle! enjoy your "mommy" days, they're grand! did you know we moved to Willcox where Justin and Jocelyn, Calvin and Sue and Matt and Maren (Jared and Melanie now too) all live!??!?!
