happenings…

just a few photos of life with these girlies:
this is what we call a double-whammy in our house right now. When I thought of all the fun that having kids so close in age would be, I didn’t think of the number of diapers we would buy, change, and throw away each day. WOW! I always said I was happy to wait for potty training, but now I’m thinking as soon as Noa starts showing interest, I may just jump on that wagon. Anyway, don’t you think getting your diaper changed would be more fun with a sister having it done at the same time? My girls certainly think so! Noa’s loving the babies these days, as usual. She now lets her baby “eat” (aka nurse), she burps her, she changes her diaper, and puts her to “night night” (please note the disaster of our home these days… I am humbled and learning more and more that its ok to have a messy house these days… kids do live here after all… another post on this soon.)I love watching my kids sleep. I don’t do it enough (these days I usually get one down to sleep and run off to see to the other, or to get housework done while I don’t have the distractions of two) but when I do, I am thankful for the thoughts and emotions that surge through me and call me to prayers over these precious ones. Every once in a while, when my little baby falls asleep in my arms, I just can’t resist keeping her there and enjoying her little body cuddled up to mine.I have been using a big ball for excercise recently and Noa has caught on. Here she is with her feet up on her ball like she sees me doing, but she’s laying back and relaxing with her catechism book. This morning after I took this photo, she simulated an entire family devotions, complete with a song, her “reading” from that book, and a prayer.see above about sleeping babies… mmmmm… just love it!
