Our Weekend

Nammy came to visit Saturday morning. She got to stay most of the day, which made our day wonderful. It was great to see her and see her interact with the kids. We went to the park. Jaely mostly wanted to swing, which i told her we could do in our backyard. I don't know what it is recently, but she is just not that into play structures right now. She just wants to swing. After the park and lunch, we all took naps. I was able to get laundry done and started deleting and going through the 800 pictures that i have on our camera card. Yikes! In the evening after the girls were in bed, i sneaked off to work for three hours. It will get better. It will get better. It will get better. It is going to be a rough week. TJ has class tomorrow night in GR and then he goes to Traverse City in the middle of the week. I have a conference tomorrow, so i had to write the first sub plan of the year with a new schedule, new technology, and new procedures. We can do it!
Jaely had the most fun with the whisper tubes. She would run back and forth between them. We sang in them, giggled in them and spoke into them. She didn't quite get the idea that she just had to whisper for us to hear her, but oh well. . . it was fun.

Jaely likes to sit in a baby swing because we swing her higher in them.


TJ has great patience. And because of that he keeps having Jaely help him bake and cook and because of that she is becoming better and better at it. She now can break eggs, measure, pour, mix, mash, and stir. Some require more help than others, but she is also becoming a better listener. I think she finally learned that if she doesn't listen, she is banned from the kitchen! She looks so old to me in these next pictures. And you gotta love her robot pajamas with a Vera Bradely apron she is sportin'. The banana bread was delicious and Jaely really was very proud of herself.
Camryn coming to see Jaelynne to tell her to hurry up because she is ready for a bath. Cami can be quite vocal about it!Nammy bought the girls matching footed pajamas. Jaely was really excited to wear them and to match Camryn. She was so excited that she completely cooperated in the going to bed routine.Giving her sister kisses.

Camryn trying to get away, even if that means falling off the chair, but Jaely stopped her!







We are so blessed.
We just can't decide if two is enough. . . .
