Just a Wednesday...

well, it's mid-week and cold! we love this weather, but the girls get really stir crazy at times when they can't be outside. this week we have discovered that our camcorder that is like 7 years old suddenly works again....so i've gotten out all our home movies and have kept the girls busy watching them. Rachel keeps getting confused as to why she is not grown up in the videos. ha. of course, it's mostly of Olivia's first years and maybe the first of Rachel's. but then the switch broke and i haven't picked it up since. until monday night. last night we watched videos from before we had rachel until after rachel's birth. we were surprised and a little overwhelmed when we saw videos of lee's dad in some family moments, christmases, etc. Then i saw Uncle Leo and his girls visiting us at Mamaw & Papaws' in Christmas of 2003. Those were definitely bitter sweet to see. Great memories though. I'm so thankful for the memories and the times i've had to spend with family. I'm glad we have those videos too, to show our children how loved they have always been. God is good and has blessed us in so many ways through the years.

Ok, moving on to less mushy stuff.......

We actually all slept through the night last night. although, olivia informed me this morning that she didn't sleep good at all because rachel (who snuck into bed with her) coughed and kept her up all night. ha ha. yeah, right. i never heard a whimper out of either of them. i'm sure she did cough some, but obviously olivia slept through it all.

another day under our belt. valentine's day is fast approaching and the girls have been scoping out their chocolate choices. However, Olivia asked me this morning if we could make our own doritos?????? goodness. that's what i get for reading her the ingredients. she thinks b/c they are made with corn i can just whip them up. That's really not my specialty.

Oh, we have a boyfriend issue......with Rachel. She has decided that a little boy, Jacob, in her class is her boyfriend. she told me he 'held' her during a movie the other day! YIKES! So, now we have a new rule...no hugging, kissing, holding, or whatever else until you are 21. :) and that's that! any questions????
