Books

Jill loves her books, I think the part she loves about them is pulling them off the shelf. Also her is her after picture, after taking her hair out of her ponies, so funny. we think she looks like a rooster!

Hair......finally

As Jill's hair is finally taking off, I have been madly making bows to keep up with her outfits. Here is her latest "do"

Ponies and necklaces

Jill now has enough hair for ponies! So fun! And she has learned to put things over her head! She also learned how to turn the TV off and on! Lovely!

You're attracted to those who are real and avoid the fake. Sometimes you're a bit accident prone, but your true friends will always be loyal to you and come to your aid when you need it.

Getting into a groove

Jill Cuddling
Jill loves to play in mommy's and Daddy's closet, here she is trying to put on Daddy's beanny


















I am now a stay at home mom since school officially started two weeks ago. It is a weird
feeling, I love not having to grade or plan lessons, but I miss talking to the kids. I miss hearing what is going on in their lives and what is going on at the school, activities and such.
So Jill and I have been working on a schedule. UP and breakfast, cleaning while she plays, then mommy gets ready while she naps, then up and eat lunch, then run errands or play, then nap again. This is mommy time, movie or crafts, perusing the internet, what ever I want, then Jill is up again, get dinner ready and eat and then bath, then daddy play time, books and bed. It is nice to be on a schedule, we didn't really have a summer schedule because I was just enjoying not working!!!!!!! I have started teaching my night class on Tuesdays. It is 4 and 1/2 hours of busy work. But it is easy. Jill goes to Grandma's Daycare on Wednesdays, so I work for Gary and run errands.
Jill is sure coming into her own, walking everywhere, saying ma-ma and da-da-da-da and we are working on ni-night and gra-maa. So fun! She is starting to cuddle her toys! I love that!! And she gives us the best hugs! So fun!
