This was the first time I put a headband on Charlotte… I’m not sure how I feel about headbands because I think if I were a baby I’d be irritated having that thing on my head. I guess they’re okay as long as they’re not too big and flashy!

Chase sure loves his baby sister! She HAD been sleeping, before he came and hopped in the crib with her and started kissing and squeezing her… I have to really keep an eye on this kid! I love that first photo that shows their big blue eyes. I think Charlotte’s eyes might be blue just like Chase’s. Fun!

“What can . . . young mother[s] [do] . . . to reduce the pressure [of raising young children] and enjoy [their families] more? . . .

“Recognize that the joy of motherhood comes in moments. There will be hard times and frustrating times. But amid the challenges, there are shining moments of joy and satisfaction.

“Author Anna Quindlen reminds us not to rush past the fleeting moments. She said: ‘The biggest mistake I made [as a parent] is the one that most of us make. . . . I did not live in the moment enough. This is particularly clear now that the moment is gone, captured only in photographs. There is one picture of [my three children] sitting in the grass on a quilt in the shadow of the swing set on a summer day, ages six, four, and one. And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less’ (Loud and Clear [1004], 10-11).”

M. Russell Ballard, “Daughters of God,” Ensign, May 2008, 109

Charlotte is such a sweet baby! I just love her. She has smiled at me a few times over the past couple weeks, but I haven’t been able to tell for sure if they were official smiles or just gas. However, yesterday I knew it was for real because she smiled at me three different times while I was “playing” with her! And today when I went to pick her up after a nap she gave me a big grin again! There’s nothing sweeter than a baby’s smile.

So I’m sitting here at work, planning out yet another version of a website that might get built this year if we’re lucky, and I thought I’d share with you some of the many faces of mini sites that I’ve made recently. If you visit vitalsmarts.com, or remember me talking about the trainer zone, you’ll notice these look nothing like each other. YUP. So, here ya go
