A Little of This and a Little of That

Life never seems to slow down with two little ones.  We're constantly busy doing something, but I wouldn't want it any other way.  I'm sure some day I'm going to look back and wish my babies were here.  I've had several people tell me these were the best days of their lives, so I try hard to embrace all these moments whether good or bad.  :)

 Baby food...Gabriel has been eating like crazy and mama has been making it like crazy.  The other weekend I made chicken soup, and I think the boy could live on this alone as there is everything in it.  I spent over two hours chopping veggies and preparing this meal.

Games...Greta received the High Five magazine for Christmas, so we've been busy doing activities and making games to play.  One Friday morning while Gabriel was napping, she spent over 30 minutes coloring these lily pads while mama got to work out.

 And here she is throwing her tadpoles on the lily pads.

 My happy boy!

I was trying to get a good picture of Greta to post, but this is the best I could do.  She's in her "cheese" stage, so it's hard to capture a natural smile.

Greta has been the best helper.  She takes such good care of Maggie and Gabriel.  She can now feed Maggie and tie her out to go to the bathroom.  She also loves to give Maggie treats and pets.  She's always loving up on Gabriel and even was able to feed him a full meal!  Greta has also been earning "dollars" for staying in her bed, helping around the house, and for good behavior.  She then gets to cash in her "dollars" for prizes.

Gillespie Gang

Cousins LorRae and Logan had a fun swimming party a few weeks ago, and we got to see the whole Gillespie gang.  Gabriel met his Aunt Jessica and Uncle Dallas for the first time.
