Library

There are some great classes offered during the week at the library. I just took Charlotte and Morgan to one where Morgan was able to sing songs and listen to stories with other children her age. I'm going to take the girls a few more times before I go back to work.
 Charlotte on her changing table...

Success!

Whether it's warranted or not, I'm proud of myself for getting a cart full of groceries while having both girls. Morgan sat in the cart while Charlotte was strapped to my chest in her sling. I'm starting to do more around town with both girls and it feels good. 

The Girls Lately

 I've been able to keep Morgan out of my jewelry box for 3 years now but I knew it wouldn't last forever.
 Morgan joined Charlotte on the floor to watch some cartoons.

 Daniel took this picture because he said he loves the look on Morgan's face when she watches tv.
 I love our baby sling! We've been taking advantage of the fact that I'm off during the week. We drop Morgan off at daycare and then go on lunch dates together. As long as Charlotte is in the sling, she doesn't make a sound.

Two Months Old!


The Park With Grandma

Oh my! Look at that belly!
 Morgan loves the swings!



 Linda and Daniel played with the playground equipment too.

 While Morgan chased the ducks...
 Daniel visited with his mommy.
It was a beautiful day! We got some Indian food afterwards. I'm not sure Linda was the biggest fan. I can't blame her because Indian food does have a very different taste.

Charlotte fell asleep in the most awkward position.
Grandma read Morgan a book the night before she left.
We headed to church the morning after she left to help distract us from sad goodbyes.
Linda watched the girls a couple of times so Daniel and I could go to dinner. We REALLY appreciated it! It felt great to put on dressy shoes and lipstick and be out with my husband on a Friday night!

Fun Week!

Grandma Irwin came all the way from Indiana to visit us this week!
She got to see Morgan take her ballet class.




 Morgan can't wear her ballet slippers anywhere but the studio so she wears boots and a jacket to get to and from class.
 Linda, Morgan, Charlotte and I went to the zoo.

 We went on a Wednesday and there was NOBODY there. We kept commenting on how it felt like the zoo was opened just for us. It was a really relaxing, fun day.
Morgan and Charlotte were especially well behaved which made our day that much better.
 I packed our lunch but I did buy Morgan and I an ice cream cone. Yummy!
 Morgan had a blast! She ran around a lot and enjoyed being outside.
 Check out the sleeping bear behind Linda.

 The petting zoo is always a hit.




We've really enjoyed Linda being here. Morgan has especially enjoyed her visit!

Making The Most Of Our Time

I've been trying to take advantage of my extra time with my girls so..

We went to a nice dinner together.

 We went on a walk around our neighborhood.

 We made a yummy chocolate banana treat.
 We also made homemade pizza again. She's been begging me to do this ever since we made some a few weeks ago.


 We went to the park.

 Daniel and Charlotte napped together while Morgan played.

 We even got ice cream on our way home from the park! This was my first time purchasing a cone for her.
