Prodigy? Ha! Ha!




I dressed Lizzie in a beautiful dress we received for her Aunt's wedding last December for church. I admit I was trying to get one more wearing of a dress that was getting a wee bit too short. To my surprise, many people commented on how gorgeous she looked...so, of course, I did a little photo shoot. She looks absolutely angelic. Looks can be deceiving, though. She can be a real stinker. We are constantly tripping over cups, shoes, tupperware, spoons that she's ripped from the dishwasher, or pieces of garbage. I had (notice the past tense) one box of quart-sized bags that she tore through in 10 seconds flat after I diverted her from the pots and pans. She was punishing me--on purpose! She is a woman on a mission! I swear, if I find one more stream of toilet paper dragged throughout the hallway, I'm going to break down! I can't wait until we get past this phase and move on to the helping mom clean up phase. :)
I also had the "privilege" of playing the piano with Lizzie climbing all over me during choir, primary, and my lessons for the boys this week. Needless to say, there were a lot of extra notes in those songs. Lizzie is quite the mover and shaker. She loves to play the piano, but adores the maracas!!! She's got a cute little bounce and head wiggle when she dances.

Lizzie and Bryn must be twins.
You have just described Bryn. I keep the bathroom doors closed now.

It was so much fun seeing you all this summer. I had so much fun getting to know your children.

We love you guys!!

Hang in there...It sounds like what we have gone through with Ryan. Now that he is 4 and FINALLY potty-trained, I mentioned to Jim the other day that I actually like him a little bit. Be on the watch for their Halloween pictures--Ryan is going to be the Flash! (Makes you want to dig out the ol' movie, doesn't it?)

Nothing makes a grandma more homesick for her kids than that picture of those 2 adorable little girls. Love, Mom
