It's not technically Las Vegas, but it's as close as your going to get while keeping that smaller town community feel.

Photo of the Week: Ice Cream at the Mall ...Monday after school, the girls watched Avatar . Even Perry was intrigued as she laid quietly on the couch. ...we snacked on blueberries, while I cooked dinner. ...I made these delicious Taco Stuffed Zucchini Boats that everyone loved. Perry even ate three helpings of the stuffing! ...the next night, we had Chicken Francese , which turned out OK. I think I overcooked the chicken, (because I'm terrified of raw chicken) and it was a little rubbery. Luckily, it had really good flavor. ...Stefanie posted this picture of Pax sleeping, and it totally reminded me of Charley. I went back through the pictures on my phone and found this one, where they totally look like twins. ...Perry was being silly before bed. She usually passes right out, but she wanted to play this time. ...she looked like such a big girl before school  ...I ordered the girls their first Abercrombie jeans and sw...

Baby Bug

My little Charley Bug is already seven months old.   She is so dainty and girly, but this month she has really started to feel solid. When you pick her up, she's more compact and full.  She has long, curled lashes and the best lips ever. Her hair is darker than Grace's and will probably be more like mine. It seems straight and thick and has started to grow a little faster. At seven months, I think we can officially say Charley is a crawler. She moves from one side of the room to the other so quickly. She rolls, scoots, and now she can get up on all fours and get where she's going. She loves to eat pouches just like Gracie did.  Her favorites are sweet potatoes, chicken and brown rice, and peaches. She has six teeth - the two middle bottom ones and her top four front teeth. She loves to jump up and down in her bouncer. Charley is wearing size 6-12 months although it's pretty big on her. She can still fit into her 3-6 month...

Stay This Way Forever

Grace is such a happy baby: This week, I've come to the realization that she isn't going to be a baby for much longer. BECAUSE... We've discovered her  FiRsT tOoTh !! You can't see it very well, but it's there. Just barely poking up through her gum on her left side. So, now she  LoVeS  this: And these are her new best friends: I don't want to jinx anything, but we've been very lucky. She hasn't been hardly any more fussy than usual (which is  HaRdLy EvEr  anyways). I'm not sure why, but this first tooth is making me horribly sad. It just feels like my little baby is entering childhood. I guess I just assumed that she'd be a baby for a lot longer than this. I always say, "I wish she'd stay this way forever." But then she gets another week older... and does something so sweet... and makes her daddy and me laugh... and learns something new... and amazes us... and then I say, "OK, now I wish she'd stay THIS...
