Random Moment

I love walking in to see this. 

Peek-a-boo!

Who doesn't love Peek-A-Boo? Abby and Alyssa sure do. 

Baby time Giggles

Bath time is usually quite fun around our house. Alyssa used to love it Suddenly, she hated it this week though. She runs away when I turn the water on and won't sit down in the water anymore. She cried and cried until she was done and wrapped up in her towel. However, she was all giggles watching Abby playing in the water and making faces at herself in the phone. 

Abigail still loves the bath and seemingly could play endlessly. 

(A little confusing, but you see Abby and hear Alyssa)

My Helper: Alyssa

Alyssa sometimes takes her nose out of a book and helps me. Yesterday I was changing Abby dirty diaper on the floor when Alyssa grabbed a wipe and started wiping Abby's bum, too. I think she see me changing too many diapers...

Stray Cat

There are a few stray cats that wander by our windows. The black one has a habit of walking across our patio at about the same time everyday, much to Alyssa's excitement. I wish I could have caught her face when she first saw the cat and ran over to the window.... 

Just cute

I love the random moments during the day when I just can't stop smiling at my silly, super cute girls.

Thanksgiving 2012

Because work has been so unpredictable, we were not sure whether Mark would be joining us for Thanksgiving this year. They were trying to finish loading the catalyst before Thursday and incredibly they finished before schedule. So Mark didn't even have to go into work Wednesday night, but got Wednesday through Sunday off! It was wonderful. 

So Wednesday night, we decided to join Steve and Clark in the Turkey Trot 5K.  Mark commandeered the stroller, and it sounds like it was a wild ride. I got a head start while the men and stroller were boxed in, but I was quickly overtaken. It was a fun run. I'm glad we got up and did it. I was sure sore after though.

 After the race, we spent the day at Mark's parents. Mark and I were pretty tired after the run, a poor night's sleep, and no napping children, but we had a good time with the family. The girls enjoyed seeing their great grandma Nancy. Alyssa even went to her with a book to read. The girls also really enjoyed playing with their cousin Clark. They followed each other around laughing hysterically. Alyssa enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner, but Abby didn't eat too much. She was too busy examining the ads for any unwrinkled papers so that she could rectify the situation.
