Three little sickies

All three of the girls have been sick these past weeks!

Lilly got strep again for the second time ever! Daphanie has a runny nose and cough that she has had all winter, but has been a little worse this past week. Sweet little Penelope has a cough and a stuffy nose! So hoping we are on the mend and everyone is going to healthy for a while!

Cupcakes, Candy and Balloons


Grandma Debbie delivered a candy bouquet and balloons for Daphanie's Birthday! Can you tell she was excited! (so was Lilly)

We also had some cupcakes, which hers had two candles in it! She blew them out with only two blows! She enjoyed having us sing Happy Birthday to her, but I think she enjoyed the icing on the cake more!

"I want to stay little..

...I don't want to get big." Lilly said.
I wish I could let her stay little forever. I can't, but I can try to help her make her childhood a spectacular one. I know as she grows and learns she will amaze herself and us with the things she can do. I look forward to helping her grow and learn, but she will still be my little girl forever!

Washing dishes is so much fun!

After baking cookies the girls needed something to do. I asked them if they would like to wash the dishes and as fast as they could they pushed chairs up to the counter. They washed the dishes and played in the water long enough for the first batch of cookies to be cooled and tested by my little bakers!




It will not be long..

It will not be long, and this little girl will be up and moving with her sisters. For now she is happily watching them play. Most the time it is loud and busy, but Penelope doesn't seem to mind, she just watches, or dozes off to sleep!
