My Diva

This girlie likes to go up to her bathroom and put on her "make-up". There are some tubes of sickeningly sweet lip gloss, some Laura Ashley perfume (left over from Lissie) and a sparkly Mary Kay powder puff. She will coat herself in each item, come downstairs, and bat her baby blues at us and ask if we think she's beautiful.

Now then, I tell her she's always beautiful, and that the make-up merely enhances the beauty.

If you enlarge the photo, you should be able to see the sparklies. Oh, my.



LOVE this one. Hee hee! Look at that face!

***********************************
Caught in the act of being WAY too cute! :o) She is such a wonderful big sister. Oh how she loves her baby. :o) My heart gets all mushy watching them together. I'm trying to remember this for when they get older and do nothing but fight...

I was reflecting today on how joyful I am to be home with the girls. I think I appreciate it all the more because I had to go back to work after Hannah and Lil were born. I know how precious it is to be able to be home with the girls.

**********************************
Today's Sparklies:

1. Ellie is such a jabberer and squealer. And, we're starting to get some laughs from her.
2. Getting Lil's room cleaned and straightened.
3. Working with Lil on the importance of putting items where they belong and keeping the house straightened.
4. Revisiting the Bridgertons. Ahhhh, my favorite JQ series of all time. :happy sigh:

No milestones.
********************************
For all my fellow Hokie fans out there, this is for you!



Honest to goodness, "Enter Sandman" began playing and I began squee-ing. I'm SOOOOOOO anxious for college ball to start I can hardly STAND it!! One week folks, one week. I hope I can make it without having a heart attack. This waiting is killing me!

Hee! Hee! Loving Lily's accessories. :) You know, I forgot to enlarge, but it seems as though she does a rather nice job with the lip goo.

Okay, I didn't go to Virginia Tech, but you got me with "Enter Sandman." I can tell you that I've seen Metallica 3-4 times and your stadium was way more rockin' than most of their concerts were. (Though, they were very good!)

Soon!

Oh.my.goodness - Lily looks so grown up in those photos, but not just because she hit the make-up counter :) She really is beautiful!

So happy to hear that you are loving your time at home!

LOL, Amy! Lane Stadium is positively ELECTRIC when "Enter Sandman" plays. It gives me goosebumps. Everyone begins jumping up and down and you haven't lived until you have felt a concrete stadium literally swaying from the exertions of 60,000+ fans. It's unbelievable!

Thanks, everyone! We think she's beautiful, but we are DEFINITELY biased. ;o)

This reminds me of how very fast childhood goes by. Lily is such a wonderful and lovely little girl!
I am glad that you are able to be home with them.

OH, this little girl is just beautiful. Watch out mamma, she is going to be a heart throb. Her and her little sister have eyes alike, simply gorgeous. So sweet. I know you must enjoy these two little ones so much.
