Tidbits of life

Just a few things to jot down before crazy life erases them from my memory.

Today I took the girls to the park to play with their friends Abby, Audry, & Maddie. They played so good on the big kid playground. Its scary how much Areli can do. She must be part monkey! Mila was a little hesitant of some of the obstacles, but she did really well with a little help from Maddie. Maddie, the oldest, stayed by Mila's side to give her confidence and a hand to hold when she needed it. Areli and Abby played side by side nearly the entire morning. Mila took a big fall! Surprisingly, it didn't involve any of the playground equipment, just regular dirt! She did a drop & roll. She ran to me crying at first, then wanted down again, even though she was still crying. She ran across the playground to cry in Maddie's arms. It was so sweet.

Yesterday I took the girls to mom's new condo now that the new floors have been installed. Mila stepped into the bedroom, saw the carpet and said, "Wow!" Then they both took off their shoes and ran all over the condo. They were excited to do this because the previous times, there were tack strips exposed and they had to keep shoes on.

Areli & Mila, I love you girls so much! I am so blessed to be your mom.
