My Little Chef

A picture really is worth a thousand words. Imagine my delight when

I came around the corner and found this. Gotta love two year old chefs!

Do you notice the tiny handprint in the photo above in the upper left hand corner? She left her mark.

Thank goodness for microfiber is all I have to say about that!

Up Close and Personal

The girls and I had a very informal photo shoot the other night. Informal meaning I decided to break out the camera while they were being decidedly very adorable. I just made sure to add my flash to get rid of some of the harsh glare. They really go without explanation. In my completely unbiased opinion they might just be two of the most gorgeous girls ever:)

Little A is so alert these days.

And my brown eyed Ella. She's a handful but boy is she cute.

I love having a blue eyed girl too:)

Her hair is a mess but she actually smiled for this photo. I love it!

Don't you just want to kiss those cheeks? I do all the time!

And these were taken after church but Ella's just so darn cute I had to include them... plus her hair is actually done in these.

The girls, the nursery, the love

I wanted to post a few more photos of the girls nursery. Given the limited amount of space we have these days, I'm pretty proud of our new little set up. This little decorating challenge (fitting all their toys, their beds, their clothes, etc. into a small space while still trying to achieve a pleasing aesthetic) gave me something to look forward to. Shaun's mom helped me pull it all together.

I sometimes wonder why I didn't pursue interior design. Not that I'm necessarily good at it but I love doing it so much. Of course if it were my day job I might not enjoy it like I do currently with only having it as a hobby. Anyway, cute nursery, even cuter girls. Now if only we can get both of them to sleep in their room? Ella's having a horrible time sleeping right now. Amelia's actually sleeping quite well, but between the two of them we aren't getting all that much sleep. Ella's been ending up in our bed some mornings after waking up every hour on the hour and let me say it's very difficult with your two year-old's foot sticking in your ear. Some mornings all four of us are in bed with Shaun and I on the very edges afraid to make a move or both of them will wake up and disrupt the few moments of peace before another day starts. Aaah parenthood. I write this down now because I'm told I may forget one day.
