Hey Daddy! Hay Daddy?

"Okay girls, run to that blob in the field over there."" What is it?"
"It's Daddy, stacking bales on the tractor."
"If you ask real nice, he just might let you climb the bales...
and maybe even give you a ride."
"Woo hoo!"
For the record, that's a doll Hannah's holding, not Levi.
As to why Heidi's wearing a broom around her neck, I know not. You'll have to ask her.

This Little Fellow...

-Is growing much too fast
-Is consistently sleeping 6-8 hours in a row at night (I feel spoiled, before him I didn't believe babies actually did that!)
-Has outgrown most of his 0-3 month clothes already
-Is having conversations with me (cooing and smiling back when I talk to him)
-Has a cold
-Sounds like a boy (makes LOTS of noise, grunting, slurping, squeaking constantly) -Has stolen all our hearts

"Just Like Aunt Eleana!"

My girlies wanted curlers in their hair the other night. Hannah's only lasted a couple of hours, but Heidi kept hers in all night.
And had VERY curly hair the next morning, which she didn't want me to touch after it came out of the curlers so it looked a little funny all day. She was thrilled however, and declared herself to be "just like Aunt Eleana!"

What fun to have a new member in the "cuddles in bed in the morning" club!

She Finally Caught Her Frog




A Walk With Levi

I have a wonderful Trekker for wearing my babies when I go for walks. Problem is, Levi only likes it when I'm actually moving. Continuous motion is not very common when my girls are with me (which is always) so I've been looking for alternative methods of transportation for him. He fits perfectly in the back of the jogging stroller,
but he didn't enjoy it too much,
so I had the girls walk while he rode across the seats.
It worked well. Unless my walks really are meant for exercise, in which case I don't believe stopping every ten feet to examine another stone or flower accomplished that purpose.


At least it's better than when Heidi believed it her duty to remove every pebble from our gravel road. "Momma," she would say, "Somebody put rocks on the road. No, no!"
