These are our cute children, whom I love so much! Lately, we’ve seemed to have had quite the mixture of ups and downs– some moments are wonderful and some we could do without– which is how life goes, I guess! But the “ups” have definitely outnumbered the “downs.”
Some things to celebrate are that recently, Chase helped Pace “mow the lawn,” and he made his bed perfectly all by himself, and he had a pretty sweet setup for General Conference (the part of one session that he stayed downstairs for).
In other news, we seem to have 2/2 not-so-great sleepers for children. I would be just thrilled if I could somehow function well on a few broken hours of sleep, but since things are going well overall in our lives, I can cope… This sweet little rascal prefers to be vertical rather than horizontal in her crib:
And I have to let her cry herself to sleep sometimes, after which I check on her and find her in some interesting position like this:
But she is growing up so quickly, and she can climb up the stairs quite rapidly now. Hooray for Charlotte!
Something random that happened recently was that the other day, a couple of funny girls from Activity Days stayed at my house to help clean. They’ve done this twice now, voluntarily! I’ve “paid” them with cupcakes, snacks, and little Victoria’s Secret lotions. If they show up on my doorstep again, who knows what I’ll come up with next to repay them.
