:: My baby is two! ahhhh! nobody told me that children spin you straight into a giant time warp! you really shoulda warned a sissta! sammi has become one of the most gentle, giving, kind, sweet, loving little ladies that i have ever had the good fortune of meeting. she is a joy to be around and her manners are impeccable. she always says please and thank you and even gives an adorable "bleshhyou" when you sneeze. i love her more and more every day ::
:: her very own kitchen....she loves cooking "eggs" and telling us "hot, no touch!" ::
:: we ran into a little snafu with the assembly and have yet to get the doors attached. but, she doesn't even know the difference and has been cooking up a storm nonetheless ::
:: in mailbox news, i have been waiting with baited breath...and readied pen....for this little gem. thanks molly for sharing this treasure with us! i ordered the 5 year diary from rare device last week and i cannot wait to get started jotting down life. this time vortex black whole is getting out of hand, so i figured i better get my butt in gear and start writing things down. i love the short format and the idea that i will have 5 whole years in one book. molly had a great idea to buy a few "volumes" and fill them up. what a wonderful legacy to pass on to our children....20 years of Mommy Notes. a grand and ambitious undertaking, but the payoff will be priceless ::
:: i might be the last person on earth to know about this wonderfully inspired idea. I just ordered the first volume of lines and shapes. Again...baited breath waiting for the mailman's delivery ::
:: this was my first week back to work since bringing paige home. it's just part-time and it has been good for all of us! mommy needs her Out Of The House Alone Time. but, as usual, sammi's weak constitution brought home a nasty virus. she came home with a fever yesterday and promptly threw up down my back after we got back from the doctor's office. so, i am home today with my sweetie pies. hence an actual blog post! ::
:: I must also share my newest obsession :: Yoga Today :: It is transforming my life...as yoga tends to do with me. I have been to my mat 5 times already this week and every time i walk away a better person. it's amazing! if you have never tried yoga, it's a great way to get started. if you are an advanced yogi, finding it hard to get to a studio, this is for you. Check it out!
Happy (belated) birthday Sammi! Love the kitchen!

Well, then let me be the first to document telling you that as they get older and can both talk that they say MAMA 90 thousand times a day and there are NO nano seconds of silence!!?? And then when they get even a little older than that they ask you for something 90 thousand times a second WHILE you are fixing it for them! And THEN they start telling you how to do it as you are doing it!! And this is only by ages 4 & 3!! (This is all toungue in cheek of course, but they REALLY are driving me nuts!!!) You think you need your quite time now!!! I want mine back!! Calgone take me away!!!!
LUVS!

Thank you so much for the book! My mom gave it to me last night. That was so sweet :) I have read "In the now" and immensely enjoyed it. I hope you liked the movie! Would you like to get together for lunch one day next week or the following week? We can meet up wherever and whenever, my job is flexible. I'd love to see you before I move. Your girls are so cute :)
