My Valentines

We had a fabulous Valentine weekend with the girls...

Out for burgers with the girls on Friday. They insisted on sitting next to each other (which I loved:-)) Both wore their new headbands...I got them a pack of 6 at Meijer and they spent they day "trading" them. Kate wore hers across her forehead most of the day.
Saturday, daddy got them dressed (...the girls totally dictated what they wore) and we went out for breakfast, a trip to Lowe's and the grocery store.
Sunday was church. The girls made special Valentine headbands, and the Sunday school class sang Jesus Loves Me in front of the church during service. It was the most adorable thing ever:-)
Kate hanging out with a few of her buddies from church. I just love the headbands!
After church we relaxed and gave the girls their Valentine presents...which included umbrellas...which they played with the entire day. Daddy also got us these adorable cupcakes...yum! I love my Valentines...the best ever!

Love seeing my niece in those pics! I'm jealous you get to see them regularly! Great updates on the girls. I love reading about all the Fighter happenings! Gretch and I were talking about how great it'd be to get a bunch of us together with our kids sometime...keep it in mind:)

Words...

...Can't describe how much I love to hear my little munchkins speak their first words. Kate's been speaking new words every day...sentences (her favorite..."I got you"...followed by a cheeky grin and laugh). It really is one my favorite things about being a mom...watching them learn new things, speak new words, do new things. Not much can compare. Even Ava's 50 billion questions in a row..."Mommy...how does the sun go down?" or "Daddy...how does it rain"...followed by 50 more "why's" and "how's". I don't think I could ever get tired of that! We snapped a quick movie of Kate's speaking her word for Grandpa..."Pee-paw". Yes...she calls him "Pee-paw".

Squeaky Sue

After 6 days with a sore throat and a gradually fading voice, my voice box decided to call it quits today. I didn't realize until I called my dad up this morning at 8am for some guidance on a utilization calculation for work, opened up my mouth, and....nothing! So...this was a dilemma. Husband out of town. No voice. Two demanding children. Hmmmm. But we made it through today. With some squeaking, a lot whispering, some "mom" grimaces (and smiles too)...we made it through. Ava kept saying..."mom, talk loud" and at times got frustrated, but by the end of the day she was so cute and whispering with me. I explained to her this morning that my voice was sick which was why I had to whisper...and then later in the day she started asking..."voice feel better mom?" She also just thought it was so hilarious when I put her to bed, whispering her prayers, Jesus Loves Me, The B-I-B-L-E and Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer (our nightly bed-side routine for about the p...

Meeting Baby Colin & Sibling Rivalry & Roosters

The highlight of today..meeting baby Colin...new bundle of joy to our good friend's Jenn & Brian. He is adorable to say the very least and Jenn & Brian are naturals! Of course when you go to a new baby's home you want nothing but to bring a peaceful visit. I don't know what we were thinking bringing our 1 & 2 year old kids (sorry Jenn & Brian!). As soon as we got there, Ava & Kate started full fledge fighting over who got to sit on my lap. After numerous girl screams, hair pulling (mostly by Kate), pushing (mostly by Kate) and knees to my stomach (Ava)...my husband, who was sitting across the couch laughing, finally came to my rescue...for them only to crawl right back to me and start the whole thing all over again. The girls have desperately been vying for my attention lately...much to Doug's comedic relief (and honestly sometimes...to my wits end). I just keep reminding myself that there will most likely come a day when my girls will outwardly wan...
