The park

The park

Asher has baseball practice two days a week. For an hour and a half. Yikes. The good news is that there is a park right next to his practice field. The kids love to play there while Asher practices. The other day I took the camera and got some great pics of the girls. The first picture of Sophie is… Read More

Sophie and her candy necklace

Sophie and her candy necklace

I had bought candy necklaces for the girls for Valentine’s Day. Well, Valentine’s day came and went and I forgot about these necklaces. This weekend I have been doing a bit of housecleaning and when I came across these I gave them to the girls to play with. As soon as the necklace was placed around her neck, Sophie started… Read More

Isabelle and Magnolia

Isabelle and Magnolia

Last week sometime Isabelle decided that Magnolia was alright. In fact, she decided that she wanted Magnolia to be HER baby. So she started pushing Magnolia around in the shopping cart (came complete with baby seat) and decided to try to put HER shoes over Magnolia’s sewn-on mary janes. Then she figured Magnolia was ready for a snack so she… Read More

Vive la difference!

Vive la difference!

While I was watching the girls indulge in some late-night chocolate chip cookies, I noticed how different my girls really are. Isabelle was savoring each melty chocolate bite, oblivious to the streaks of chocolate accumulating on her face and hands (and jammies!) Sophie on the other hand was thoughtfully holding her cookie with the tips of her two fingers, as… Read More
