  • It's going too fast...

    My Ainsley, the one who made me a mommy, my firstborn is officially 3 and a half today.  So, it's not much of a milestone, but she just seems to have grown up so much in the last six months that it makes me so sad and happy all at the same time.

    Now that it's finally feeling a little bit like fall, I've been pulling out the fall/winter clothes that I had bought off season last year.  I put her in a pair of jeans I had put aside for her and was amazed at how big she looked this morning.

    I am teaching once again in our Wednesday night children's club at church.  I am not teaching Ainsley's class but all the classes were meeting together last night during our kick-off.  I was so proud to see her sitting still in her chair, listening well and answering questions.  She really has come a long way.  We still have a long way to go, but I am so happy to see how far we've already come and that she is really developing a tender heart for others and the things of the Lord.


    She was working on this picture very hard and then asked me to take a picture of her with it.  I was happy to oblige.


    And then there's my Lorelei.  My baby is going to be one in less than a month.  Does that even seem possible???  It can't be.  She is my joy baby in more ways than one.

     
    I love how she crinkles up her nose when she smiles.  But she wouldn't do it for me this morning.

    I was so excited last night that it was finally cool enough to put feety pajamas back on her.  There is something so sweet and innocent about seeing babies and little children in them.

    Ainsley wanted to join in and put on some new pajamas, too.  These don't have feet and she was very sad to see that they didn't, but the fact that they had Dora on them seemed to make up for it.

    I'm enjoying my growing babies today.  What are you doing?

  • working but its a slow day.  Ainsley seems tall for her age, is she? and she resembles you in my opinion.  Does she look like you when you were younger?  Both your girls are so cute!  Some days I would love to have the pajama's with the feet.  Just the thought of them makes me think of warm happy times.  Have a great day!

  • Cute post, so sweet!  Your babies are growing fast--I'm honored to have watched them grow from newborn-babyhood to the present!

    Today I am doing the same as you--enjoying my children--also, I have homemade spaghetti sauce on the stove (a big pot of it) and I made apple muffins (and ate, I think, 4)  !!  Maybe I better exercise later?

  • Hi Cathi! I can't believe how big your cute little girls are! I am feeling the same way... Abby will be 2 1/2 this month, and Noah will be 1 in a few weeks!! This past Sunday I asked Abby's Sunday School teachers how she was doing in class, and they said she's the only one who gets up and walks around during the Bible lesson! I must have turned 3 shades of red! We just started doing A Beka nursery school at home with her 3 days a week, so I think we'll work on sitting in her chair! :) This afternoon I made some soup, played with the kids out near the sandbox, and we're just enjoying the day!

  • Your girls are both so precious and have grown so much - even since I "discovered" your blog!

    I had to work today, but did experience some Spiritual victories there, so that's always a good thing.

    I'm glad you are enjoying your girls.  "The days are long, but the years are short."

  • They are growing up! It goes by too fast. I wish it were cooler here so we could pull out the winter pajamas. Too cute!! Today, we went to eat lunch out and had spaghetti for dinner. I spent a lot of time doing homework with Madison tonight.
