quotes of the day...

nora, after getting her piggy bank, told me it was "so we can pay to go to Disneyland". sweet! love her willingness to chip in!

jamey, after pushing his sister down, "sorry, sissy". WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED! yeah!!

we have had a trying afternoon. nora has been pretty good recently, putting herself in time out when she thinks she needs to, usually more than i would put her there! but, today, we were having a bad day. it was a good reminder that she is, in fact, three years old. and i need some patience in my life.

last night, i yelled (okay, spoke harshly in frustration) at her, because she disobeyed. she was really trying to help, but spilled oj all over the floor. i told her i was sorry for the way i responded, and explained why i wanted her to obey. i also asked her to apologize for her disobedience. she did and said, "next time you won't yell". nope. i won't!

they are so cute and getting so big. especially my almost two year old! the kids are playing together so much more and having fun together! i love it! and am sad. all at the same time...

PS!!! we got orders! it's official. hawaii, here we come! AND... it also looks like i will be living at home until stef's wedding, after a brief trip to san diego in may. so, twinsburg, here i come from may to july. thanks for the prayers, everyone. it was a hard decision to make. when david asked my opinion, i told him i thought i would be so happy, and yet a little sad, no matter which decision we made. so here i sit, happy and a little sad. on the precipice of a great new adventure in my life!
