Life in iPhone Pictures...

And Lexi Says...

This is what Lexi was doing the whole time Lilly was throwing the fit that I showed in the last post...they were, of course, both in time-out. :)

Two Year Molars

This sweet little chef is having a hard week. Thank goodness God has been helping me help her. :) You see, she is cutting #3 of her two year molars and it has been a tough one.

This was Lilly yesterday...

About 2 minutes later, she smacked her sister. I put her in time-out and then for some reason, kept taking pictures. She was just sooooooo upset and sometimes it calms her down when she realizes I am recording or photographing her. Not this time...

All better now...for a while, at least. My poor, sweet girl! After her time-out, she snuggled into my arms and Lexi and I tried to cheer her up. She has had one of these meltdowns about every ten minutes for the past 3 days. She improved today, so let's pray that the tooth finishes coming through quickly. Until then, I will try to take extra good care of this little one.

Park Fun

We just love to swing. It makes us really happy!

Lexi...

Lilly...

Ha ha!

Read the following poem...

One elephant went out to play

Dry bones

Cows in the kitchen

The ants go marching

There was an old lady who swallowed the sea

Five little men in a flying saucer

Ten fat sausages

Down in the jungle

I AM the music man

Ok, so it wasn't as much a poem as it is titles of children's books, but I can explain why it is extra funny. Last night I read Eric one of my old art professor's profile on UMHB's website and it cracked us up. I ADORE this man and think he is one of the best artists I have ever seen. The little paragraph were he explains his artwork was obviously written by an artist who sees the world slightly different than my husband and I.

This morning, Eric said he had a poem for me. It was a poem written in the style of professor Dunham. I thought it was cute enough and funny enough to share. I hope you all enjoyed it. :)

Valentines Day and Some People I LOVE...

We have had a wonderful Valentines Day. I can't imagine life with these three amazing goobers!

My Valentine....

My Furry Valentine...what a cutie, right? :)

And my little girls...whom I also love, love, love!

This morning, the girls got up and found some Valentines stickers and bracelets on the table waiting for them. The girls and I enjoyed some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and milk for lunch...
Then after dinner, Eric set up the Valentines presents that he ordered for us. He is so thoughtful! He got 3 separate gifts for his girls. He got Lexi these gorgeous orchids. She was impressed...
He got Lilly these orchids in the pretty teacup...totally her style.
He got me a little box of chocolates, a sweet little bear, and these pretty flowers on the left side of the picture. Aren't they lovely?!! My friends got me those beautiful tulips today. I am such a lucky girl!!

And on a slightly different note, Lexi and I went on a date last night to get some panties for potty training. Lilly has been fully and happily potty trained since the beginning of January. Lexi is going to need a different kind of motivation. So, we got some cute panties and had an ice cream cone. We'll give it a shot and see what we can do. Beautiful little ice cream chin...
