A Picture of True Love...

Some time God gives you a special moment when you least expect it.... This past 4th of July weekend the girls and I were out running some errands. We stopped for a quick bite to eat... There was only one couple there when we were. They were probably in their 60's. The lady must of had a stroke or some thing of the sort. She was in a wheelchair, she had a towel around her neck, and she was coughing on most of her food. Her DEAR husband was encouraging her, patting her on her back, and he kissed her forehead. When she was done I noticed him wipe her up and tell her it would be fine. Tess seemed to notice some of this and asked me if the lady was okay?? I said yes, her husband was taking care of her. "Dats nice Mommy" As they were leaving her wheeled her by our table to see the girls. The lady said some thing (I could not understand her at first). Her husband said that she said the girls were "Cute". He was dressed in a nice red, white and blue plaid shirt and she had on a flag shirt and red & Blue beads, he had to have dressed her. I gently patted his wrist and said, "You know, you are a true example of love as you take care of her, (tears in my eyes). He replied, (with tears and a huge smile) "Thank you, that means so much, I love her, and God Bless You. "Same to you and take care I told him"...he patted my back.... I hope that Kevin and I have the blessing of health that we are able to grow old together. I know it won't be easy to do, (to grow old) but I hope we have the blessing to continue to take care of one another for a MANY years to come! I was so touched my this special encounter with two strangers.

Daddy is Home!!!!

Yippee!! Kevin is home from his work trip to New York! We are so glad he is home safely and with his girls!! He got home early this morning. Tess came is to our room...."Daddy, Daddy, is home!!!", then she snuggled down for some cuddle time....NICE...Family Time....Nothing Better!! When we went to get Ella out of bed she gave her Daddy a HUGE smile and belly laugh, now if that is not a great homecoming, I don't know what is! Although it was just over a week, it is always too longer, we love our man! Tess has been attached to Daddy all day! She wanted him to hold her and Ella "hold us to-getder Daddy, Ella is yous left arm"??? Where does she come up with these things?? She wanted to take a ride on the mower and stay with Daddy, then she proceeded to nap on his lap.... I asked Tess where Ella will ride someday, She said on her lap, then she will sit on Daddy's lap...That ought to be interesting. AHH, the joys of being a Daddy to girls.

Taking it easy with his girls!!

Just Beachy!

It was a not so "hot" summer day....But a beautiful Day! Where shall one go??? To the beach of course. My parents were in town visiting so we packed the girls up and headed to the lake for the day! We took in some beach time, which Tess, the Beach Lover, soaked up! The sounds of the waves, the birds and the children playing...Relaxation!! It did not bother Tess one bit that it was 75 degrees and windy. She would have played in the sand ALL day! I promised her we would return soon!

We also enjoyed some lakeside shopping and eating! We packed a lunch and had dinner out (my Dad loves lake perch, he was anticipating it all day)! The most important to Tess.....Ice Cream time with Pops! That was all she could talk about all day was that she was going to have "Ice Ceem...MMMM"! The sight of her enjoying the day was priceless! Ella did an amazing job trooping through the day as always! She is so much like her Daddy....Go with the flow and laid back!!! AAHHH! We are so glad! It was a beachy day and a fun time had by all. Every time my toes touch the sand....they're always looking forward to more....Until next time!

Reward Challenge

Tess has been "Challenging" bedtime lately. She thinks she "isn't tired.."

We started a bedtime chart...It reads: To get a sticker, I must go to bed when it is time...No tears!

She filled it up and her reward choice was "Ice CEEEM", a treat we can enjoy as well! She was so excited all the way there and she LOVED her pink Ice ceeem!! Ella was a bit confused where her treat was but her time is coming! Tess asked for another chart already! The simple joys!

Decisions, Decisions

This is so good!

Major Moves for the Girls!

Tess and Ella have had some "Moves" in their lives recently.

Ella graduated from Baby Swing to Jumper-Roo and from baby carrier car seat to the next step rear-facing car seat (my back is thanking me!!)

Tess graduated from her car seat to a booster seat with a back!!

Both the girls are very happy with their transitions, as for Mommy....Well, I am thrilled they are healthy and growing so well! I am also a bit emotional that our Baby Girls are growing up so fast! I am so thankful we make the most of everyday of the journey!! We love them both SOOOOOO.... Much!!

Loving the Legs in the Jumper-Roo!
