weekend

teehee- captured a funny face on this one!

isn't it nutso how BIG daise is getting. she is growing up soo fast. i am a little sad about that. i don't rock her to sleep anymore, so ocassionally i just want to hold her longer and snuggle. sigh.

tonight is her first night sleeping on her tummy without her swaddle. pray for safety, for me to relax and trust and for a LONG restful nigth of sleep. =)



daisy looks all over now and often gets bored (meaning she fusses) if she is just left staring at the wall or ceiling) so this baby doll is her buddy in the mornings while i take a quick shower. it is funny cuz sometimes i hear daisy actually talking to the baby doll. do you think she thinks it's real? or is she just saying that she thinks her mom is crazy for propping up a doll to entertain her?



sally has her very own swing in the back yard now! emma and timmy found it at a garage sale for her and grandpa put it up.. wahoo!

so we had a crazy weekend.
gow worked untill 3am and 4am on Friday and Saturday night.
Sat am- he slept in a bit while daise napped and sally and i walked to the park.

this was comical as i let sally push her baby doll stroller beside me while i pushed her umbrella stroller. the park is about 3 blocks from our house and it literally took us 50 minutes to get there. sally was sooo into checking out leaves, bugs, seeds, she spent about 10 minutes pointing out all the holes in the sidewalk, talking at a dog and just enjoying her independance in general.

than naps in the afternoon and saturday early evening we participated in a Road Rally put on by our church to raise money for missions. this was similar to the amazing race (tv) as 8 teams sped around three towns figuring out clues, completeing challenges and have a jolly time together.

gow and i competed with andrew and his friend Marieke- just so happened that Marieke grew up here in Lake Geneva so she was a WHIZ at all the local stuff.

we had a great time, took second place and were quite pleased with ourselves for beating Neal and Cyndie's team. =)

then we put the girls to bed at Neal and Cyndies and headed into Il to meet Marquitos and Korita for a 10:30 Micheal Jackson movie! it was a super fun date! we felt footlose and fancy free knowing the girls were asleep and taken care of.... we got home around 2am.

so today was a day of rest with SWEET weather. so we headed to the park for picnic and sally climbed all over the play ground. we are all rather pleased with sally as she can now do some slides on her own. =)

then long naps for me and both girls while gow cranked more on his camp video. he will have 1st cut done by this Wed and then the entire project done by the end of this month. I CAN NOT WAIT.

k- that's it for now. i am hitting the hay. nighty night
