8 days and counting...

Natalie caught Ellie smiling. She actually did this a couple times last night = just melts my heart. 1 week checkup was all good. She weighed 8 lb 6 oz. Hopefully my weight gets going the opposite direction. Ellie sleeps for 3 hours at a time at night. She's usually very awake between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. but will sleep from 1-4 and 5-7. Such a sweet little doll.


Why am I complaining - it's clearly Hannah who's become overworked to the point of physical exhaustion. No one told her being a big sis was this demanding.


"Okay, you can have one. I'm down to one bag left of these marshmallows."


Be afraid Ellie. Be very afraid.


Yeah right - what trouble could these little angels possibly get into?



"Okay sis, I gotta go to church with Daddy. You watch mommy until I get back."


Had the timing been a little better, I would SO have been at IKEA Grand Opening in Charlotte (only 20 miles away)today. Seriously, when Nate was thinking of taking a job here, this was a BIG perk in my book. Can't wait till I can go. The thought of leaving this house with both girls for more than 15 minutes is presently out of the question.


And last but not least, Spencer entered the MTC today! 2 years! Go get 'em brotha!
