A few new things

We have changed our daily schedule up a bit. The girls have decided that they're ready to drop morning nap & only take one a day, so we have had to make some adjustments. They do sleep longer than 45min. in the afternoons now, which is a nice break for Mommy to get some chores done.
8:30- wake & eat breakfast
9:00- playroom, books & "Jesus" time. 
10:30- crib time
11:00- craft 
12:30- lunch
1:30- nap
3:30- snack & outing
5:30 - dinner
6:30- bath
7:30- bed
They've been doing really well with this new schedule! I've included some videos of things that they have been discovering lately!
One of my favorite new things that they do is say the name of Jesus! It is so precious to me!

Soaking up the Good!

We've reached the stage where the girls think it's SO fun to call for "Momma"!! They don't need anything, they just like saying it. In turn, I say their names right back. The giggles I receive are priceless!! I'm sure the time will come when I will reach my wits' end of hearing my own name, but for now, I cherish it!

We have been pretty busy with so many other things going on, that we decided to stay home and do nothing together as a family on Tuesday. Here's some pictures of our "nothing-ness"!

We had a pillow party in the living room and enjoyed jumping & rolling all over the soft, padded area!
Kels using Dad as a bean bag!
We are dog-sitting Juno, so we went for a stroll in the backyard & played with the dogs!
 
We hung out in Mommy's waterless tub for a while!
We ate dinner as a family and the girls ate with forks!!
So nothing too spectacular, but for us, it was a great day!! It's the little things that make such a difference! Times when it's just the 4 of us are rare, so we really enjoyed our family day!!
