Getting Better

After going to bed at 5:55 last night, Hannah woke up SO much better this morning. She woke up HUNGRY...understandably, since she hardly ate anything all day yesterday. She was ready to play and her fever was gone!!! Yeah!! We still had a few complaints of a tummy ache, not much eating and some unexplained crying spells, but we're getting there and we're probably 80% back to her always happy self!!

Rain, Rain Go Away!

So Sick

Sweet Hannah woke up from her nap yesterday complaining that her tummy hurt. As the afternoon progressed, she began shaking and got a fever. It breaks my heart to see either one of my girls sick and I don't know which one is worse...the baby that's sick and can't tell you where she hurts or the 2 year old that's able to tell how bad she really feels. Even when she's sick, Hannah is still so sweet and never fails to use her manners. Every time I ask her if she wants juice, crackers, etc., her response is always a pitiful little "Yes Ma'am or No Ma'am"...so polite! Every time I ask her how her tummy feels she says, "Like Strawberries". Don't know where that came from, but it's really cute said in a little sick voice.

I hope you feel better real soon sweet girl!!

Outside Again!

Another beautiful day to be outside! We met some friends at a restaurant at Northpark that opens up to the big courtyard. So, it was a perfect place for the rambunctious ones to run and play while we tried to eat. I'm sure the restaurant wasn't too pleased that we were there, thought!!

After nap, we were outside for the rest of the afternoon. The girls LOVE the little blow-up pool and they had fun playing outside in their swimsuits while I gave Wally a much needed bath!!

Ice Cream and Swimming Pool

Another pretty day in Dallas today. We went for ice cream after school and then we all put on our swimsuits this afternoon and played in the water!! SO fun!!! Better do it now before it gets too hot!!! I have to get some pics of Alice Anne in her swimsuit next time. Her big belly is just too cute!! And the little chunk LOVES ice cream!! Why am I surprised?!?

Crawling, Peek-A-Boo & Just Plain Sweetness!

My little baby girl is crawling!! She's not all over the place and into everything like Hannah was when she 1st started crawling. She is seriously so laid back I don't know if she'll ever be like that. If she sees something she wants, she'll slowly crawl over there to get it, but if it takes too much effort, it's just not worth it!!

Her favorite game is peek-a-boo. She loves it!! This morning Hannah was trying to teach her how to play the cup game and Alice Anne was trying to show Hannah how to play peek-a-boo with the cups. Too Cute!!!

Other than crawling and playing games, Alice Anne's main objective is to make people smile! She brings a smile to our face all the time and if this sweet little smile doesn't melt your heart then nothing will!!

We Love Aunt Bekah!!

When I started thinking about getting a part-time job I had mixed feelings about it. I was excited about being out in the business world again...I have really missed it. But, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find anyone that I trusted to keep the girls while I worked. I wanted someone that truly loved my girls.

I was talking to Bekah one day and mentioned to her that if she heard of anyone looking for a part-time nanny job, to let me know. Bekah said she would be interested, for the time being--and I was absolutely thrilled to say the least!!

My girls ADORE their Aunt Bekah. Hannah is always so excited to tell me what they have done and to show me what cool art project they did. And although Alice Anne can't tell me, I know she loves her just as much as her big sister does!

Thank you so much Bekah for taking such good care of the girls when you're here!! It means so much to Brett and me!!!
