my little girl

I love the funny things Lily comes up with. She brings so much laughter into our home! Here are a few of the things she has said lately that put a smile on my face…

"I’m going to grow out my hair real long and catch somebody in it."

She saw an Asian couple at the store and said, “look there are some Omma guys.” Omma is what she called her foster mom.

"Thank you Kayla. You are a big helper girl."

"We don’t need the heater on because the sun is on."

I asked her what movie she was watching and she said, "How To Drag Your Train." The movie is really called 'How to Train Your Dragon.' It cracks me up how she gets things so mixed up!

I found a chunk of her hair on the floor and when I asked her what happened she told me the light bulb pulled it out.

She didn't want to eat her supper and said, "my mouth is stuck in my throat."

"I’m exhausting!” and I said..."truer words have never been spoken!"

Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Love,

Charla

art projects with my girls

me and my baby

We were outside enjoying a lazy Saturday afternoon when I looked up and saw this sweet sight. I was so glad I had my camera with me! They melt my heart.

I had an evening out with Matt. We ate at one of his favorite restaurants and watched a movie. I enjoyed my time with him so much!

grocery shopping while the big kids were at school

Each day before I put Lily down for her nap I read her a library book or two. She snuggles up close while I read to her and then we sing some songs together. Her favorite is I've Got the Joy Down In My Heart. She is starting to remember the words to a lot of different songs. Listening to her sweet little voice belt out songs about Jesus always puts a smile on my face.

I had the flu for a few days and several times throughout each day Lily would crawl up beside me and rub my arms. She brought me her stuffed animals and told me stories and said, "momma has a headache in her stomach!" My hubby took the older kids to Brittany's soccer game and Lily stayed home with me. As soon as they walked out the door, Lily looked at me all excited and said, "Momma I have an idea. It can be Lily time now. We can play ring around the rosy! Will that make you not sick?!"

shop talk

I will be adding these two little red riding hood dolls to my etsy shop next week, so be sure to check back!

Thank you for stopping by my little blog. Your support and words of encouragement mean so much to me. I hope you have a lovely weekend! xox

getaway

I got to spend last weekend with my favorite person in the whole world. It was nice to have some time by ourselves. We ate yummy food, shopped at some of my favorite stores, laughed a lot, and talked about so many things...including our future and things we want to do as a family.
