View looking from our porch swing

earlier this summer when everything was still nice and green

Everyone has a junk drawer right?

this is mine - it had been a mess for months

can't find anything in it - we just kept shoving more stuff in in

Amazing isn't it?

Today's Project

London and I had a big project planned for today

to CLEAN her bedroom

how can one little girl make such a mess

we decided to take some before and after pictures

I thought this might help inspire her to help clean up if she saw before/after pictures

it did help - she loved looking at them over and over

 exclaiming how messy her room was

- BEFORE -

  - AFTER -

Ahhh  . .  the difference

You don't feel like your suffocating when you walk in anymore

or that you might twist your ankle on some unknown toy

London was very proud of "project clean up"

Here are some new bed sheets I got for her last night

Clearance at Target

They were too cute to pass up

Bath

 someone enjoyed bath time today

no crying, wiggling or fighting against me

I could not decide which pictures to post

so I did them all

she is just too precious

she is so darn cute!

Little Piggy

Seriously

this little package is such a piggy

even sounds like one at times when she is eating

last Friday when I took her to be weighed she was 5 lbs 3 oz

six days later  - - weighing in at  5 lbs 13 oz

gaining 43 grams per day this last week

Hooray for Kennedy

she isn't much of a little peanut anymore

One Month

one month old already

5 lbs 6 oz

growing like a weed

happy, content, smiling

your sister can't love you enough

and neither can we

Chocolate Cake

This post is dedicated to my "Heatwole" cousins - Rick and Susie

This morning I had this for breakfast
Chocolate Cake
The last piece of my birthday cake

I just had to laugh because it reminded me of my cousins in DC

Sometimes when we would visit them 

we would sit down in their basement listening to Bill Cosby records

they were so funny - we would just laugh at his stories

"Chocolate Cake for Breakfast" is one that stands out in my mind

A toast to great memories with my cousins

I hope you get a laugh out of this story
(it's a little long but worth it)
