{happy friday}

the weekend is here
i don't know about anyone else, but september, in spite of all it's fally goodness and great weather, is running us ragged. i think it has a lot to do with our schedules lately. janey has tumbling on monday afternoons, both girls have jazz on tuesday evenings, we have church on wednesdays, both girls play soccer on thursdays and saturdays....whew...makes me tired just writing it all down. even though we all love soccer and the girls have really improved this year, i know we will all breathe a sigh of relief when it's over. especially dave who is coaching both teams...you should see him run from one field to the next changing team shirts...it's kind of like superman in the phone booth.:)

my little baby is not feeling well today
had a touch of a fever yesterday that was still there this morning
we have spent the day snuggled up on the sofa with blankie close by watching max & ruby


it did allow me some good nesting time though
everyone has clean sheets on their beds and fresh towels on their hooks
perfect chore to do when you have a sick one at home


i think seeing all my old photos flash before my eyes lately has got me in a nostalgic mood
i swear it really was yesterday the big two were this size

 


oh how i wish i was blogging then
you think you'll remember all the little details of your day
all the silly little things they say and
the things that make you laugh
but you won't


so...here are just a few things aubrey says and does that melts our hearts
lip-lops = flip flops
mony tail = pony tail
logurt = yogurt
iceceem = ice cream
pick me up like baby = hold me close in the cradleing position and sing...



she has to have oj first thing in the morning
her favorite breakfast is nutella on waffles and
she loves to open the fridge and freezer looking for yogurt
when she picks up her babies she says adorable things like..."shhhh, it's ok, mommy's here" and "you go nite nite baby kate" and she always tucks her baby in with goodnight kisses before nap time and bedtime



she will ask what's for dinner and then say.."pizza...really? oh taa"
she is crazy for books and would sit and read on my lap for an hour or more
she loves to fill her backpack with toys and bring that and baby kate along where ever we go
she is not the greatest about climbing in her car seat quickly and inevitably ends up running to the back of the van to sit in janey's seat
she loves "aubrey's music" and always asks "what's dat?" when she hears a different instrument


she is the littlest light of our life and growing up way too fast

hope you all have a wonderful weekend enjoying all the little things that make up your ordinary days,
have a happy day,
cindy

{free and uplifting}

last night we all went to a free concert
at our mall of all places.
jason gray performed.
have you heard of him?
he was great!!!


waiting for the show to begin with candy store goodies

powerful words
inspiring music


hand clapping beats



we even bought a cd and got our picture taken



windblown rain dampened hair and all

here is his latest video
{remember to pause my music below before playing}



i think this might be our new favorite song
{nicolle this made me think of you and your friends}


hope your wednesday was as uplifting as ours,
have a happy day,

{Still Chuggin Along}

with our busy weekend, i only managed to get about 25 cd's uploaded to the computer.
but i am still determined and still chuggin along.
it's hard when you get motivated to do something and that something is not an easy quick endeavour
but organizing and preserving our memories is the biggest procrastinated job in my life and i will get it done....and then it's on to the baby books!!!:)
yikes...anyone else behind in those too?

here are a few memories rediscovered this weekend








 one of my all time faves

hope i'm not boring you all to tears:)
this has really been kind of fun...seeing my babies as babies again
remembering a time that seems so simple now, but at the time i'm sure was anything but

if you're tackling your photos as well...good luck to you and keep chuggin along too...

have a happy day,
cindy
