New Addition

Well, Tres and I have gone back and forth over the last couple of years on whether or not we would have a third child. We actually haven't even talked about it in a while, but Tres initiated the idea again, and it looks like we will be adding to the family sometime during the next year.

We made the mistake of even mentioning it to the girls, who are just so excited. Adlie says that she wants a brother and Laney insists that she would like a brother and a sister. I promise that will not be the case, or atleast I hope!! But Adlie has been telling everyone her mommy is having another baby. And although I am not pregnant yet, I have already had many confusing congratulatory remarks!

We were talking "baby talk" again today, and I asked Laney what she would like the baby to be.

This time she said, "A Sister!"

I said, "Oh, well what do you think we should name her?"

Laney sweetly says, "I want to name her Darling."

She sounded so cute, but was very serious. She then went and told everyone else that she was having a sister named Darling. I guess we will have to take a vote!

Butterfly Wishes

Adlie had her friend from school, Alana, over to play this afternoon. In the car, all three of the girls were just joking around and telling stories. Laney leaned over, and out of no where said, "I have butterflies in my ears!". The other girls of coarse said, "No you don't!". Laney replied, "Yes I do, the doctor told me that I have butterflies in my ears and they are red!".

A few months ago, Laney had a doctor's visit. She really can not stand for anyone to look, clean, or touch her ears! The doctor had to come up with something exciting so that she could sneak a peak, and did tell Laney that she had butterflies in her ears and she needed to see how many. Laney was amazed by this, and reluctantly let her look in. The doctor said, "I see five butterflies in here. Can you tell me what color they are?". Laney said, "Uh-huh, they are Red!". So I do think that it is safe to say that Laney truely believes that they are in her ears!

Last night was Tres' 34th Birthday! Happy Birthday Daddy!

Here is a cute picture of Laney, wanting to sleep with curlers in her hair!

School Proofs

Today we finally received the girls' fall picture proofs. At first I laughed when I glanced at them, some of Laney's faces are priceless. Then I became sad, because they both look like little ladies- and are growing up too fast!! But I think everyone will have to agree that they definitely look like me.

Every Two Year Old Must Do It...???

At about 12 o'clock today, I could not find Laney. I was in a hurry to leave and pick up Adlie from school- but finally found her in her bedroom closet. She had gotten into an old bottle of diaper rash cream and put it all over her face, hands, and hair. It shocked me at first, because Laney really hasn't done many things like this. I was in too much of a hurry to take a snapshot, but I now wish that I would have, because.....

Here is a picture of Adlie at the same age, doing the very same thing!! I wish that I could have definitely compared the two.

Something cute that Laney said tonight- Well first let me explain the tone of voice that she uses when speaking. My dad always calls her a little pirate because she sounds like "hayyyyrr" when saying "hey" in addition to all of her other words, with a southern draw. I was putting her pj's on her tonight, and she felt her hair brush against her bare back. She said "Noni", (which is what she thinks mommy sounds like) "My herrr (hair) is getting very, very long- all da way down to da flerrr (floor)." Adlie chimed in "Yeah- just like Rapunzel!". Laney-"Uh huh!" She was very proud!

Another cute thing that Laney said- We were waiting in the lobby for Adlie's speech session, and Laney always plays with this toy clock. She brought it over to me and I said, "What does the clock say?"-She replied, "Tic Tac Toe!". Close enough!

Pictures of the Past

Just to play "Catch Up", here are a few of my favorite pictures from the past.

The Beginning of Blog Life

I am very excited to be able to put in writing all of the wonderful things that my girls experience from day to day. I have had family members tell me for months "You better be writing things down, it will be so cute to remember one day!". So it is my resolution to begin now, and update as often as possible.

God has blessed me beyond my wildest dreams. I have a wonderful husband who is loving, hardworking, selfless, and a great father. I have two daughters who are more precious and beautiful that I could ever have imagined!

Adlie (4 1/2) has always had such a sweet and caring spirit. She's been growing up (too fast) into a beautiful young girl who loves Jesus! I couldn't be more proud of her. Laney (almost 3) is definitely a mama's girl! She loves me and I love her-she's my LANEY BUG! Her personality is completely opposite of her sister's, LOUD and FUNNY, but still so sweet, especially with her big sister!
