Sleepy Puppy (Today’s Favorites)

Posted Thursday, February 19th, 2009 by Mollie

I don’t have anything exciting to say today, so I thought I’d share some extra cute/fun things that I enjoyed about a regular old Thursday with Nata.

1. Natalie’s imaginative play…

This afternoon she was playing outside in the dirt (she heads straight for the dirt and rocks!) and I was snapping some pictures of her.  She laid down in the dirt and I asked her what she was doing?  She told me she was a sleepy puppy!  I don’t know why but that cracks me up and I love to see her pretending things.

2. Colorful clothesline…

It was warm and sunny today after a couple weeks of cold and rainy weather.  I love the rain, but the sunshine means I can hang Nata’s cloth diapers on the clothesline instead of using the dryer! It saves us money, and don’t they look so bright and cheerful hanging there?  I had to get a picture.

3.  Fresh flowers…

Tulips to be exact!  I got them for free at church this morning.  I think tulips might be on the verge of passing roses and hydrangeas as my favorite flowers.  I love these white ones on our dresser which I recently painted black.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Today Natalie got to spend time with her cousins (and other extended family) while Andy and I went out for Valentine’s Day lunch.  Can you tell she loves them??

Blogging In 2009

Posted Friday, February 6th, 2009 by Mollie

I didn’t make any New Year’s Resolutions this year, but if I had, “Blog more” certainly would  have been one of them!  Hillary blogged today that I inspired her to keep her house tidier, and she has inspired me to make my blog more fun and interesting!  Hopefully I can start posting more frequently and give you a better idea of daily life around here.  It’s nothing unusual, but we love it, and thank those of you who take an interest in it. :)

Just to get you up to speed…

1. Natalie is just one month away from turning 2 years old!  She’s a curious girl and becoming SUCH a talker.  It’s fun to hear what she’s been thinking all this time, now that she can verbalize it.  Here she is watching the rain pour down today. After playing outside in the rain, she asked to come inside and put her jammies on.  This girl is not afraid to get wet, but she does NOT like to be cold!

2.  We are less than 2 months away from becoming a family of 4.  Baby Benjamin (Andy says you can call him Ben but NOT Benny) will be making his debut pretty soon!  We are guessing between 8 and 9 pounds and a head full of dark hair… what do you think?

3.  Andy is getting quite elderly, he turns 26 this month!

4.  We’re still living on Camarillo Drive here in Camarillo.  We’ve been here since June and we love it!
