Eva is quite the daredevil. The past week she has taken to climbing up and off chairs in the living room, taking a small kitchen stool we have and moving it around and doing the same thing. Today she decided that jumping off was even more fun. I'm predicting a broken bone in her future....yikes. She is so fearless where Ella was very cautious. I will definitively have my work cut out for me at the pool this year.

Ella is wrapping up the school year and we couldn't be prouder. She is an official reader and it's so great  watching her develop this awesome skill. She lost tooth #2 and this time she was able to keep it.

Eva will be talking any day now. She currently babbles and chirps and points and very much talking in her own way. Her vocabulary consists of the following: Ella, Buddy, she thinks she says one- two -three.

Her favorite songs include Itsy Bitsy Spider and Head, shoulders,  knees and toes with the hand motions, it's very cute. Just like Ella she loves to dance and its very  spastic but I love it. She's developing into a feisty young thing, but yesterday I realized that she understands the concept of time out, which helps a lot and I am very impressed.

How I knew

How did I know that my husband was the one for me? I sometimes have a hard time explaining this, but for me it cam down to having a sense that I was going to be alright in my life. Being with Chris gave me confidence. I cam across this quote that sums up how I knew he was the one for me.   “Someday you’ll find the right person, and you’ll learn to have a lot more confidence in yourself. That’s what I think. So don’t settle for anything less. In this world, there are things you can only do alone, and things you can only do with somebody else. It’s important to combine the two in just the right amount.” -  Haruki Murakami 

Morning thoughts

I love them Spring is coming, so they say. Yesterday after school we were able to enjoy the creek and playground till it was dinner time. The joys of being able to make the day pass while being outdoors. I can't wait. This morning Eva got a little outdoor time before the rain came,  and Ella hummed along to some Neill Young. Then puzzle mania ensued. I was reading this blog, Manger  and she wrote the following: "While our kids are still small, our lives young, our dogs so splendid, our journey is just beginning!" It reminded me so much of my husband because whenever I say "Things are great."  He always chimes in that the best is still yet to come. I wonder what's to come?

Lazy Fall Days

This weekend the girls and I had a great weekend. It was a beautiful fall day in Virginia. We ventured out to the pumpkin patch near the house with cousin Veia and had a great time sliding down the slides and picking out our pumpkins. I knew I wanted to do something outdoorsy with the girls on Sunday but I couldn't decide between visiting an apple orchard, hiking the Shenandoah or checking out Frying Pan Park. Ultimately, I decided to pull out Ella's bike out while Eva was sleeping and to my delight she finally discovered the joys of riding a bike. She was on it all day, it was great. We decided to talk a walk in our own backyard. We have a great park system with wonderful trails. I'm so glad I decided to not get in my car. Ella got on her Skut and I put Eva in the backpack and we walked to an open field, I pulled chocolate chip cookies and that's when Ella asked me if I wanted to daydream with her. Which meant looking at the...
