Blogs

I never knew the popularity of blogs until shortly before I started this one... I had heard of them, but hadn't known really what they were or why someone would have one. I am sure the reasons are as varied as the topics that are covered.

The reason I started a blog was to share stories and pictures of our everyday life with those that are too far away. In rereading some of the entries over the years, I have found that the blog has also given me a chance to reflect and appreciate the moments of life. I have always desired to be a diary writer or journal keeper, but it just never happened in the traditional sense... and while this blog did not start out as a journal, I find that it really is that to me.

Not all that long ago, I was told that a friend of mine also keeps a blog/website. It is a consumer-friendly blog with her thoughts on products, money saving success stories, and fun, cheaper ways to do things. She has some great giveaways as well... Check it out! :) http://themamareport.com

The following pictures are the result of an idea she posted on her site. Homemade Play-Doh made with Kool-Aid mix. :)

Enough said! :)

Sleeping angels

Years ago when Abi was a baby, I made up a lullaby to see to her. I have continued to sing that lullaby to Mikayla and now to Elaina. Abi still will request it for a bedtime song. I certainly am not a great singer (by any means!), but will happily sing for my babies... One day Abi and Mikayla sang the song to Elaina as we were driving home. It was cute to listen to and heart-warming as well. Here are a few pictures of Mikayla and Elaina sleeping peacefully. LOVE them SO much!

Sisters

Abi and Mikayla continue to love Elaina VERY much (as well as each other)... I have tried to capture picture of the girls with each other and here are some of the best ones.

Here they are listening to the iPod shuffle... They have to share one unit, but each have their own headphones. It does require some cooperation between the two, but hopefully you can see how much they like it. :)

One of Abi's favorite things to do is to sit on a blanket outside... she was enjoying the sunshine, but was still hoping for warmer temperatures. Soon! :)

More Faces of Mikayla

As I mentioned a few weeks ago, Mikayla is a very dramatic person. She also is in love with the camera... whether she is taking pictures of being the focus. :) Here are a few more of her expressive facials...
