Time goes so fast!

Livy is going to be 6 months by the end of the week....I can't believe it.  It's all going so fast: her growing up, Becca growing up, the seasons, life...it's amazing.  I only hope I can occasionally get my feet under me in order to look around and really enjoy it.  We are so blessed, but, MY GOODNESS, life can get kinda crazy around here ! :)

Here's a little flash of Livy growing up...









And there she is!  We love her so much.  She's such a joy.  Grace was a perfect choice for her middle name; she really is my saving Grace on so many days--with all the challenges, she ALWAYS make me smile.

We keep trying to get a good picture with both girls together, but it is tough! This is probably the best one we've got to date.


Easter was fun too!  I had to work so we stayed in Chesterton, instead of going to Chris' parents' house in Franklin, and had our Egg Hunt at 7am before I left for the hospital.  (I could've called this...the night before Easter, as we got talking more about the Easter Bunny coming to our house and hiding eggs, Becca started to get a little scared of the Easter Bunny.  We had to go up to reassure her twice while she was trying to fall asleep)  She loved the Egg Hunt and like her Easter basket.  I'm proud to say she didn't get TOO wrapped up in the candy (although the jelly beans were borderline too much--had to use them as punishment in the next several days...sorry Easter Bunny, had to throw out probably 30 jelly beans).

Flashback...(sort of)

I never posted anything about our wonderful Christmas celebration, but I would like to share.  It was so great!  Becca was excited but didn't really get it until Christmas morning.  She was a peach, though, and enjoyed every moment.  We changed around the logistics this year and it worked fabulously!  The whole family was together, and we had our holiday meal on Christmas Eve afternoon so when Christmas day was in full swing, Mom wouldn't have to worry about getting the big meal on.  We enjoyed a wonderful roast (from our 1/2 cow that we've been slowly eating) and other delicious dishes.  Christmas Eve we watched a little Michael Buble Christmas, a Christmas cartoon and we layed our Santa's cookies and the Reindeers' water and carrots...It was great!





Christmas morning...

Becca-isms

Becca: "Mommy"
Me: "Yes, honey"
Becca: "Can I sleep with my eyes open?"
Me: "Of course, sweetheart, good night"


Livy's new thing:  sucking her thumb while nursing....REALLY?!  I've been there, thumbsucking = true love, but really?! :)
