So things couldn't get better in our house. Lilah is growing like a little weed and seems to get happier and more vocal everyday. McKenna is throwing SOOOOO much less temper tantrums (T/G!) and I am getting more sleep. Time really does seem to become more fleeting when you have children. I honestly don't know how I have enough time in the day to get anything done, but somehow things have been working themselves out.
We had a really great Mothers Day weekend. We took the girls to Tacoma and stayed in a hotel over night so we could go to the Point Defiance Zoo, Tacoma Childrens Musuem and take the girls swimming. I had my doubts about how things would play out since we were all sleeping in the same room but everyone behaved quite well. It was Lilahs first time in a swimming pool and she sure soaked it up. I have never seen a baby that little enjoy herself so much, she was cooing and smiling the whole time. McKenna enjoyed swimming too (as usual) and didn't want to leave the "Tel" room, as she calls it, when Sunday hit.
The fun didn't end on Sunday though because Mark took today (Monday) off and we got to spend time with his sister Sue who came to visit from Utah for the week. We were so happy to get to spend time with her and McKenna was especially taken with her Aunt Sue showing her all over the house and outside, it's wonderful to get to see Sue and we hope that she gets to come visit more often.
The last news I have for now is a congrats to friends Casey & Todd Schoepflin. Their foster-to-adopt baby arrived in their home Thursday of last week, I have yet to meet the little angel, but saw pictures and she is a beautiful little baby. We wish you guys the best and love you mucho.
