72 and sunny...

this was what i was greeted with when i went to pick up nora to put her in her highchair for breakfast... quite a site!! wearing adult shoes is her favorite right now! (and i am not sure where she found her cupeez, but she did and snuck it back in her mouth!!)

nora loves to snuggle her brother...

and, apparently put her feet in her mouth!!!

james loves watching his big sister...

and she loves to kiss him!!!

and hold hands....

she asked for "nusic" (music), and i turned on the music i have on my phone... we just danced and sang. this is her shaking her head along to the nusic! it was such a fun afternoon with my two kids!!!

it looks like she is pulling on him, but really, she was saying "hold you hands, baby james..." and then "cheese". she wanted to love his hand... and it was so sweet and gentle!! he loved it!

i got them to pose for just a minute!!!

this was right after nora got up, and realized she got to lay on mommy's bed! (but i told her... daddy wasn't home, so there was NO jumping!!!)

pre-nora waking up, i got some great shots of james... my camera wasn't working so well (someone may or may not have let it fall....), so it started with me trying to fix it! i think i did... take that best buy!!! (shouldn't talk too fast, because i may be in there for a fix, anyway... with my luck!)

james is such a cute boy!!! (but i'm not biased, or anything....)

we were trying on "cool dudes" today... thanks to mrs. lindsey and baby david. (he's about to grow into the outfit they got, too!!) if you can believe it, he's in 6 months or 6-9 mo clothes..

and in case anyone cared, these clothes are from a resale shop... i have found the cutest (and name brand) clothes there recently... awesome!!!

so, it's 72 and sunny today... and we are at jeffrey and miss chelsey's house. she is taking a much needed day to do errands, and we get to play with besties... more pictures on that later!!

it's one of those days where the kids are ANGELS (i do realize that i am jinxing myself as i right this), but they are sharing a baggie of gorilla munch back and forth... no fighting... perfect parallel play (and a little together play, jumping on jeffrey's bed...)

james is sleeping. it's gorgeous outside (we may go into jeffrey's little pool). i got an AWESOME praise report about a friend we were praying for... God is good... all the time.

one of nora's new favorite phrases is "good job". sometimes, i will turn on the tv, or stand up, or something so minute, and nora will praise, saying "good job, mommy". it's so sweet, and a constant reminder that even the little things are so important! and, if i don't praise her in 0.005 seconds of her doing something good, she won't hesitate to say "good job, nora"!

have i also mentioned that she is becoming quite independent? "no, nora do it" is another favorite line of hers. and i usually try to let her. or when she asks for help, and i know it's something she can do, i encourage her to do it on her own! it's so fun to see her growing up and taking on the world by herself!!!

last thing... we are MOVING!!! to a real house, with a real garage and a real washer and dryer!!! praise the LORD!!! i couldn't be more excited. and, we get to paint the kids bedrooms!!! we are renting, and it will only be for a year, but SO FUN!! oh, and a HUGE backyard!
