Ok...now I really feel like a horrible mom. So I started this blog so that I could record daily happenings, but then I felt that I needed to go back and record details of the first three years of Aubrey's life and the first year of Anna's. Like usual, I have put expectations on myself that just aren't reasonable. So now, plan B. I'm hoping to be more consistent with my posts of the small things that happen each day or every few days so that it doesn't become overwhelming.

This stay at home mom thing keeps me busier that I thought it would...but I wouldn't rather being doing anything else in the world. My life's dream has come true. I have the most wonderful husband, the most precious girls and I get to spend every day of my life raising children that I pray will grow to know and have a personal relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ. What more could I ask for?

Sisters

Sisters...they are becoming best friends. On the way to school yesterday, I glanced back and saw Aubrey and Anna just holding hands. I moved my rear view mirror so I could watch them, then Anna took her pappy out of her mouth, kissed Aubrey's hand and then promptly put her pappy back in her mouth! Aubrey looked at her and smiled. My heart melted. Oh, how I pray that these precious girls will grow up to be the best of friends.

Granted, a few minutes later, Aubrey started screaming because Anna was clawing her arm. I will take the bad with the good!

Aubrey is definitely going through a phase of NOT LISTENING. I have to tell her four or five times every time I tell her to do something. She has been in timeout a lot lately, which is being by herself in her room with the door closed. While she was in timeout today, I heard her talking in her room. I went and asked her who she was talking to and she said, "Jesus." How can I stay mad after that?

Anna is STILL teething. I don't think it will ever end. She has become very attached to her blankie (and her LaLa, too) and won't get out of her crib without it. She has started kissing on demand. She puckers up with out any hesitation now when I ask her for a kiss, or two, or three.

Alexandra just smiles all the time! She really is a happy baby (I also remember Anna smiling a lot as a baby) and is still just going along with the flow. Anna is constantly all over her and she very rarely gets upset about it.
