Another Day Around the House

I know I said I was not going to applique any more ladybugs, but sometimes I think I just can't help it! I think this one was the best yet, though, so I guess I'm glad I did it! I was looking at a quilting magazine at HEB & noticed that their machine applique in their photos looked worse than mine! Made me feel better...

David has started reading books to himself. It's very cute. He even turns them right-side-up, now!

And Elizabeth has started enjoying things to look at. Here she is in the baby bed watching the bug mobile above her. She likes the musical light-up star that David used to love on the Baby Einstein play mat, too.

Is it just me...

or does this remind anyone else

of an old movie?

The Loud Geese

We went to the park on Saturday. When the wind stopped it was very nice outside. Unfortunately, the wind only stopped for about 30 seconds, so we didn't stay too long. David didn't mind throwing bread to the ducks and very loud geese, as long as they didn't get too close!

I was trying to capture

how well Elizabeth is

holding her head up.

Lunar Eclipse

Here's the view I had... Thanks for the reminder, Bubba! See more photos on Bubba's Blog and Grandpa's Blog.

When Dad's In Charge

This is what happens when Dad has the kids:

Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos

More Smiling

Uncle Bubba - This is NOT gas! Of course, you probably can't see either of these on your dial up... not my fault!

Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos

This one's kinda long, but I can't edit my videos... sorry. I know my voice sounds like that annoying pop-up ad on Dad's webmail.

Cool Slideshows

Caught Ya!

Have I mentioned lately just how pretty I think Elizabeth is???

Today David stopped what he was doing, said, "Kiss Lisbeth" and went over & kissed her!

The front of her hair is getting thicker finally and I know she's gaining weight!

I caught these 2 smiles today!

David most often calls her "Lizbeth" but sometimes calls her "E-bees" - which I think is just adorable! He came up with that all on his own.

Grocery Shopping

It's all a matter of perspective...

I remember life BC (before children). In the first year of marriage, a trip to get groceries was something we did together as husband and wife. We tried new things that looked good. It was fun.

Then we moved and conflicting work schedules plus the 30-minute drive to town changed the togetherness of grocery shopping.

Then David was born. I wondered how in the world I'd ever get the shopping done. But I got used to it & it got easier.

Then Elizabeth was born. I wonder how in the world I'll ever get the shopping done. I figured out that with the baby strapped to my chest and the toddler in the basket, it's not as hard as it was when David was new.

Then I ran into a friend at Wal-Mart today. A pregnant friend, who was pushing a basket with a preshooler in the seat and two older kids walking beside her... followed by her husband who was pushing a double stroller for the twins and had the baby on his back in a pack.

Suddenly my trip to Wal-Mart seemed easy. And I wondered if Mrs. Restivo still gives out little plastic perspective flies to her physics class...

What are you doing March 3?

Plan to be looking up on the evening of March 3 for a lunar eclipse!

David Likes Straws

David likes straws.

I really have been trying to think of something worthwhile to say on my blog, but haven't been able to come up with anything. Guess the babies are causing my brain cells to shrivel. Oh, here's something good:

.

Pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your young children.

- Lamentations 2:19

Kissable
