So Tired

Too...tired...to...finish...my...book...

The Talented Ms. Elizabeth

 

She's an artist

 

She's a dancer (with help from Grandma) - don't forget to curtsey girls!

Grandma and Grandpa's Return North

Grandma and Grandpa stopped for a visit on their return north from Fla. The girls really enjoyed the visit and mom and dad enjoyed a big night out with their friends at Ping Pong Dim Sum. We were so happy so many of our friends made it out to meet up - especially the pregnant ladies who made the effort!

The visit had a lot of rain, but while daddy went to a Toad the wet sprocket concert, we did make out to dinner at a restaurant that had a talking buffalo. It was a big hit with Elizabeth! We also made a nice trip to the zoo.

Circus Acts in Training

We've got the girls practicing their circus acts...Elizabeth is going to be a mime. We're letting her use a box to practice the box skit. Sarah is going to be a trapeze artist...now if only she could reach up and start swinging from that play gym.

Sisters, Sisters: There were never such devoted sisters

You might think it's easier to get a 2-year-old to smile than a 6-month-old. Not the case in our family. Today, Mary (our daycare woman) said that in her 27 years of having her daycare, she hasn't known a more easy going and happy baby. Sarah is super sweet and loves to smile and laugh. Now if only we could get her sleeping through the night better:) The two wakings a night have got to go! Tonight on the way home from daycare, Elizabeth was correcting my pronunciation of "carrots" tonight. Glad my 2-year-old thinks I have some kind of accent or something.

Sisters, sisters
There were never such devoted sisters,
Never had to have a chaperone, no sir,
I'm there to keep my eye on her
Caring, sharing
Every little thing that we are wearing
When a certain gentleman arrived from rome
She wore the dress, and I stayed home
All kinds of weather, we stick together
The same in the rain and sun
Two different faces, but in tight places
We think and we act as one
Those who've seen us
Know that not a thing could come between us
Many men have tried to split us up, but no one can
Lord help the mister who comes between me and my sister
And lord help the sister, who comes between me and my man 

- From White Christmas (if you've never seen the Ensminger sisters perform this, ask them the next time you soon them!)

Long Day

Some days when Sarah comes home from daycare, I wonder what her day was like because she looks like it was a long day. I think it wears her out to watch all of the bigger kids moving around. Last night she needed to relax on daddy a little. Of course Elizabeth is right there with her little sister.

Sarah is getting really good at rolling over both ways. She's also working on sitting up. She can't do it unsupported, but soon. She's still spitting up, but hopefully that will stop once she's sitting up more on her own like it did for her big sister. Last night BJ had a nice carrot/peach spit up surprise on his shirt. Ah, the joys of parenting.
