happy to you....

my sweet little boy... he's in the exersaucer now. so big... and so cute!!! he sleeps "through the night", getting up around 5 am to eat, and then going back to sleep. most nights, our kids are in bed by 7 or 7:30 pm. it's lovely! (i am sure as i write this, it will change!!! i am knocking on wood!!!)


















nora put on water wings yesterday. she is now independent in the pool. she swam all the way to the deep end and back BY HERSELF (okay, i was right next to her, just in case!!!). and she loves her newfound independence. it's so fun to watch the joy on her face as she swims! we will probably do lessons at the end of the summer, but this means i can go to the pool with two kids, by myself!
















james loves the pool, too! he kicks and splashes. then, looks like, "why did i get wet??" with these hot days, i am so glad that my kids enjoy being in the water!!!











family swim time....













yesterday morning, everett, moira, and tania came over for a swim. nora looks up to moira so much! it's so cute....

















we were getting baby ready to go to the car with us. and, her hair just looked too cute!!!

















my two-year old!!!

29 july 2007....










28 july 2007... my how times have changed! i can't believe that two years have FLOWN!!! i love my daughter like crazy... she is such a joy in my life. last night, i was in the family room, and i heard her saying something... i look over, and she was sweeping the kitchen and telling me about it. when you ask her what she wants for her birthday, she says "cake". she's so smart and fun... she adores her brother and is such a good "mother" to him.

and.... she's still asleep! i can't wait for her to get up so we can sing and start her day. but, it's 9:15, i've gone in twice to check on her, and she's sound asleep! maybe we should swim every morning and afternoon!!
