Photo Shoot Time.

Hubby and I, with the help of our good friends Carmen and Hannah, took some family photos. Be forewarned that there are many pictures to see on this post. If you're wanting a quick glance, this may not be the time. If you do take the time, please help us decide which ones to print! We need:

1)one of Malia
2)one of Josie
3)one of the whole family picture
4)one of the two girls

Friends.

It's true! They're becoming good friends! It's so fun to watch them dance, holding hands, all the while getting so dizzy, laughing, and falling down. Or watch Malia "read" to her. Malia is beginning to ask Josie questions all day long (giving me some relief).
Josie, do you want me to read to you?
Josie, do you want to dance?
Josie do you want to go to the fair?
Josie, do you want to watch the cow movie? (not sure what she's talking about)
Josie, do you want draw a picture?
Josie, do you want me to get your drink?
Josie, do you want Mommy?
And on, and on.

At this particular moment, Hubby was home and turned on a video. They snuggled up together on the couch. I thought it was really cute! (Notice that Bear and Baby were not far from their "mommies".)

Also notice how their hair color is meshing. Malia's was blonde, and Josie's was black. They look pretty similar these days.

Lunch Time Talk

We're eating leftover bierocks.
MALIA: (large amount of food in mouth) Do these bierocks have "cabbage" in them?
ME: Yeah, they have cabbage.
MALIA: I was talking about college.
ME: College?
MALIA: (nodding, still chewing.) Yeah.
ME: Well...college isn't a food.
MALIA: What is college?
ME: Well, it's like school.
MALIA: Oh.
Silence. Guess that satisfied her. I'm not surprised she's picked up the word college considering all the students we have in our home. I just thought the conversation was pretty random and it made me laugh.

Something Different.

Sometimes we have waffles for breakfast on Saturdays. Lately, we haven't been together much on weekends, so we've done no special breakfast at all. But today we were home and we felt like something different. So I gathered my little helpers,


stirred, cooked,

Hubby added some bacon, and everyone was happy! Josie was bellowing "cheese!!" while I took this picture.

Crazy Girls.

I love these crazy girls in our Life Group! Our family is privileged to see them several times a week and spend a lot of time together. I'm so thankful for the influence they have on my life and on my girls' lives!

Today.

I got the camera out at naptime today and started looking around the house. Nothing too exciting. But all of the not-too-exciting things are such an accurate picture of what fills my life! Consider this a journal of today in still-life photos. Some are random, and you'll probably be like "Why in the world did she take this photo?" Now you know some of the random things that one can find here!

The Many Faces

Three. (No I'm not pregnant...)

I thought my title might throw a few off, so I clarified. :)

Thanks for visiting today Hannah! We hope you come again soon! My girls definitely had fun. :)

This was before they both fell and hit their head on the concrete. (Carmen, please don't fire me as your baby-sitter. :) Now mine has a nice welt on her forehead.
