"fancy" kate

anyone know who fancy nancy is? if so, this should remind you of her:)

sweet conversation

today we spent some time in the car driving. as we were driving the girls were happily reading and singing to the music we had in the car. randomly kate started with this:
k: mommy, you're the greatest mommy.
me: what does mommy do to make you say that?
k: because you love me......SO MUCH!
it is times like this that i am thankful that i've hung in there, and not given up. being a mommy, especially one that stays home, is an exhausting, sometimes unappreciated, and (by the worlds standards) an unglamorous job. BUT, when my 3-year-old says something like this, i realize it is ALL worth it!

our little reader

one of amelia's new favorite things to do is read. she will sit in either her chair or go into kate's room, get some books, then plop down and start reading. we love that both of our girls LOVE books.

we've been busy

talk about starting the summer off with a bang. as soon as tim's family left, my family came in to town. amy and abby (my sister and niece) flew in from spokane for a week's stay with us. we had a blast doing fun things as well as just hanging around the house relaxing. after a few days, my parents drove up to join in on the fun. we took a trip to the zoo, picniced at the park, and did s'mores (a summer fav). i am so thankful for times spent with my family and miss them dearly. i so wish that we couild do these types of things more often, but am learning to treasure the times that we do have.
