What We've Been Up To.

We've had a great couple of days. They have been happily busy, but not overwhelmingly crazy. It's been lovely.

This weekend we got a movie from the library (love that!) and had our pals Noah and Asher over to eat popcorn with us. Saturday we spent the day working upstairs on the kids' rooms. We moved Layla into Maleah's room, and all.is.well. They love it! It's so sweet to listen to them chat and chat. We have learned a lot the past couple of nights.
1. It takes Layla much longer to fall asleep than Maleah. This came as a surprise to us!
2. Maleah is such a rule follower. This does not come as a surprise to us!
3. Maleah can understand Layla's language probably better than any of us.
4. Being sisters is so special, even when you are only two and three years old.

Saturday night we went to my mom and dad's house to celebrate my dad's birthday. While Dallas, Layla, and Charlie hung out with the crew, Maleah and I ran into church to volunteer and then to Sam's Club. Does the price on the receipt of Sam's not make your heart thump. But oh how I love the feeling of being stocked up. We went back to the rents and enjoyed fun times with aunts and uncles, grandma and grandpa. And enjoyed a Scratch cupcake. Holy smokes, they are so good.

Sunday morning we went to Kurt and Erica's church for Elena's baptism. Then over to their house for lunch and playing. We had plans for the evening, but after long naps leaving us all feeling like zombies, we ordered pizza and stayed in for the evening. It was fantastic.

This week has been: Layla's IA City appointment, watching Carson, Bible Study, chiropactor appointments, subbing for Kindermusik, and playing with friends.

Pictures to come soon. :)
