Lazy Sundays

It's hard to tell from this picture but that is Colleen's potty chart on the cabinet and it's full of little magnets for each time she uses the potty! That's all of last week and we have started over for this week and hopefully I'll have an equally full chart for next week!
Colleen had fallen asleep on the couch and had just woken up when I took this pic. She usually doesn't take a nap in the middle of the day anymore, but I helped her take one by rubbing her back. Colleen also put her sandals on by herself for the first time today!

We did get to the park this afternoon, and played for a bit before it was time to come home.

Fun stuff!!

Brighit has never been a snuggly baby, which was the total opposite of Colleen. Even while in the hospital right after she was born she didn't want to sleep with me in the bed, she slept better in the bassinet next to the hospital bed. This picture is something we thought we would NEVER see, and it totally made Dan's day! They both slept for about 30 mins, which is a record for her.

Last weekend the National Parks had free admission. We had been on the Blue Ridge Parkway, but never Skyline Drive, so this was the perfect opportunity! Unfortunately it was quite chilly and cold, so there are only a couple of pictures, but it was fun to just drive and see what's out there. Brighit slept for most of the drive, which was good since she doesn't understand what's going on anyway!

Brighit is getting quite interested in doing what Colleen does, even though she isn't quite walking yet. This morning Brighit was trying to play basketball like Colleen but the hoop was too high, so we lowered it and she was "shotting hoops" like her big sister! I tried to attach the video, but it didn't want to work!

Not much else going on. Hopefully the sun will be out tomorrow and I will take some pictures o the plants that I am growing. We've got broccoli, red lettuce, peppers, chives,tomato's, strawberries and summer squash. They are all alive and growing so that makes me hopeful that they will produce something over the summer!

Back!

Ok, so I know it's been awhile, but I am going to try this blog thing again and keep up with it so that way I can document more of the things that the girls are doing. Colleen is now 3 and Brighit is 1! Colleen is doing a great job of using the potty, riding her bike, and being a great big sister! Brighit is ALMOST ready to start walking. She cruises around everywhere! She has 3.5 teeth, and we are doing the best we can with her diet, considering her growing personality and lack of teeth. Hopefully I will be adding more later on!
