It's getting chilly outside

My blogging has taken the backseat, yet again. I frankly don't make the time to sit at the computer like I once did. I hope with the colder days that are inevitably ahead, that will make me sit down and share stories and photos with our readers.
Our life isn't anything out of the ordinary, but we have fun. Our two babes keep us on the go from the first chirp of them in the morning to that last cry in the night.....

Lucy is 11 months and will be 1 year old on October 1st. She is crawling, standing, walking around the furniture and walking with her walker and she really likes to climb the stairs...some times she disappears without us knowing and where is she? Upstairs in our room. :)

She eats just about anything you give her, but her favorites include anything with cheese...and anything dipped in ketchup. Much like her older sister.

Lucy is a snuggler, she likes to be in constant contact with either mom or dad or sister Madeline.....she has a bit of a seperation problem which quickly goes away....until she sees mom again. Then it's tears! She's quickly learning to "fight back" when Madeline takes away her toy. Not necessarily a good quality to be learning so young, but, she has a voice and she's learning how to use it! She loves loves to dance. The girl hears a beat and her butt starts to wiggle! It's hilarious! And she loves to play with all the toys and all the toys her sister would rather her not play with!

Lucy is just one of those easy going, happy-go-lucky kids and we're very blessed.

Madeline is 3. Just turned. She's officially in preschool and loving it. She's certainly a smarty pants. And speaking of pants, she's officially potty trained. In fact, she just learned to put her poopy in the potty yesterday! She dresses herself, she buckles herself into the carseat (with minimal assistance of course), She goes potty and wipes and washes hands without help (most of the time) She is perfectly content reading book after book snuggled on the couch with her pillow and blankie most of the time. but she also loves to play pretend....pretend baby, pretend cookies, pretend bugs.....you name it, we've played it. And speaking of playing, she's mastering the game of Candy Land. She cheats good. Even cheated so well she made her dad quit 'cause she beat him! :-) Very funny.

I don't know what else to say, she's a happy kid. That's all I care about!
