Freezer Meal Day with Friends

Cooking Day!

Saturday, September 20, 2003

Today, some friends from church came over and we cooked dozens of freezer meals.  Lorraine has done this before, and was our leader and organizer, and I would say it was a pretty successful day.

 Dawn empties the noodle pot

 Lorraine marks and seals bags of Tater Tot casserole

 "Cheese!"

 Taryn checks the recipe..."What's 2/3 times 6 again?"

 Dawn and the 1000 lasagnas

 and the freezer is FULL!

Dimples!

See, I DO have my Daddy's dimples!

AND the cutest toes ever to appear in the world!

Sittin' and swingin'

Just having a little swing...

 

Sylvie can sit up by herself now!

 

Up!

Sylvie is big enough to go up in the air now, and loves it!

Here In My Heart

When I was in high school, I had the honor of singing this song for some baby dedications at church. Now, I love to sing it to my own kids.
Here In My Heart 

I don't want to kiss you good night 
I'll just keep on holding you tight 
'Cause baby I know 
You'll change and you'll grow 
You'll get bigger with each morning light 

I know that the sky's full of stars 
And dreams call your name from afar 
I'm anxious to see 
All you're gonna be 
But I'm sure gonna miss who you are 

But I'll keep you right here in my heart 
And I'll memorize each little part 
'Cause one day you'll go 
And I'll miss you so 
But I'll keep you right here in my heart 

Each tooth that you'll gain or you'll lose 
And each time you'll need bigger shoes 
Each step that you take 
 Will be further away 
But to stop you is not what I'd choose 

These fingers that curl 'round my hand 
Must do things that no others can 
I know you're not mine 
But God's own design 
And I want you to follow His plan 

But I'll keep you right here in my heart 
And I'll memorize each little part 
'Cause one day you'll go 
 And I'll miss you so 
But I'll keep you right here in my heart

Bedtime Routine

Look at that big girl standing at the sink in her footie jammies, brushing her own teeth!

 

Little cutie girl

 

We love to read books before bedtime.

Love.

Scootin' around

Sylvie, just scooting around the living room...

 

Annah can ride the tricycle all by herself!

 

Not happy

This one is not so happy to be in the carseat here...

Doot-tee-doo!

Annah, playing with a coin-wrapper "Doot-tee-doo-er" in the den

Getting mobile

She's getting ready to get up and go and get around!

Sweet Sleepy Baby

Twins 28 Months Apart?

No, these are not 2 photos of the same baby!  They are our girls, each at 6 months old.  

Can you tell which is which?
