Little Sparkler

Arlington 4th of July Parade was a hit!  I asked Landry what her favorite part was, not knowing she’d understand  my question…She replied with “the clowns, horse-e’s, juice and water”.  I guess she got it!

You think there might be a lip gloss obsession…

By the end of the evening, we had some really hot, sweaty, tired, sticky, from ice cream, girls!  Good Times!

New Phases, New Stages

We moved out of our house for a week to have our hardwood floors refinished.  We decided that it might be a good time to convert Landry’s bed into a “toddler” bed.  As we moved back in, we took down her mobile that hung above her bed and stowed away her footboard to her bed.  In it’s place we put up the bed rail… really?  Is it already that time???  We should still be swaddling her to go to sleep.  It was not MY idea to take down the mobile… I made that thing because I couldn’t find ANYTHING I liked!  I started crying!!!  I’ve heard of people being sad over such silly things & thought “how ridiculous”!  I AM THAT PERSON NOW!  Where is that little baby?  How has she grown so quickly?  She’s singing the entire song of Twinkle-Twinkle-Little Star!  She can count to 15 with NO help!  She knows the entire alphabet & recognizes each letter!  She speaks in FULL sentences!  ARE YOU SERIOUS???  At this VERY moment, I am listening to Darius Ruckers song “It wont be like this for long”,  good grief IT’S SO TRUE!!!  I LOVE MY LIFE!  I LOVE THIS GIRL!

p.s. she’s done PERFECT in her bed!

I guess that I can hold you
one more time before you grow
And tell you that I love you
so that you will always know
Please let me tie your shoe again
One day you'll tie your own
And when you think back to this time
I hope it's love I've shown

Bunny Hop

The Easter Bunny found our house.  He left Landry sunglasses, a bikini, Elmo & Abby stickers, lollipops & plenty of chocolate! 

We hosted Easter this year.  We enjoyed Ham & all the good sides that go with that.  The kiddos had fun hunting over 100 eggs.  Landry was much  more in-tuned to what was going on this year.  As soon as she found an egg that “rattled”, she immediately wanted to open it thinking it had “MM’s” in it! 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead ... 1 Peter 1:3
