Project 365 Week 34

Sunday, August 14th

This is where I have been finding Elia... hehe... we do our best to keep the toilet lid down and the bathroom door shut. :)

Monday, August 15th

A woodchuck in our backyard! Liliana cried the whole time (15 minutes) he was out there because I wouldn't let her run out there to pet him... she LOVES animals! :) Emma was here with us today. I took a video of this little guy eating. Our first time baking homeade blueberry muffins! YUMMY! We used our hand-picked blueberries! The kids love helping me cook! :) We had such a wonderful day! Blueberry muffins, Emma over, woodchuck, I cooked a pot of Taco Soup to have on hand, Diane watched the kids for a couple hours so I could run errands, we had dinner at our neighbors house! So blessed!!!

Saturday, August 20th

Liliana put Elia in this chair and she sat in it so well! What a big girl! ;)

LOVE this face!!! The sun was in her eyes... we were at the playground at Liliana's school. We brought Little Ceasar's pizza (love it cuz it is SO cheap!)... we ate out on the grass and then played for a bit to help Liliana get acclimated to the school grounds.

Then played a little more in the yard when we got home. I love Elia's Elmo shirt... I got it at Target on Clearance...

Liliana's BIG Girl Tooth ... SEE it back there pushing her baby tooth in front out! I love looking at it and always ask her to show me her teeth. She will even catch me looking at it sometimes and will say "you were just looking at my tooth, weren't you?" :) Such a big milestone! She is getting to be such a big kid! AWE!!! :)

Liliana's First Dental Visit!

What an exciting day for Liliana and Mommy! :)

First Liliana sat and watched and colored while I got my teeth cleaned... Then, when it was her turn she was suddenly hesitant... the hygenist was so wonderful and took her time to show Liliana her tools and she even let her use the air/water squirter... wow! :) The hygenist earned her trust and Liliana warmed right up and let her count her teeth, brush and floss them and put floride on them. She sat on my lap for the whole thing, which was so cozy for me... I could have taken a nap. Here is the super-cute part... Our sweet Liliana has had some big stuff going on in that mouth of hers......... SHE HAS ONE GROWN UP MOLAR, ONE THAT IS HALF-WAY OUT AND ONE ABOUT TO POKE THROUGH... This was SO cute to discover!!! I had completely forgotten that these teeth were due to come around this age... AWE! :)

The hygenist and Dr. Rob were very pleased with Liliana's oral hygeine... they did find 2 tiny/surfacy cavities, and one worth a small filling... Good job, Girl! :)

Thursday, February 10th

Liliana took a long cozy nap... she will do this 2 or 3 times a week, but most days she is like the Energizer Bunny.

The Nott's brought over pizza and we made rocks for the "skit/testimony" we had planned for that coming Saturday at the Women's Breakfast. Donnie was at work late... I loved showing him this crazy picture the next day...

Saturday, February 12th

AM: I went to the Women's Breakfast. Diane Nott told her testimony - so fun to be a part of that! Love the ministry!!!!! Woooh!

Later that day:

Today was Elia's fussiest day yet... awe, I can feel her two bottom teeth on the virge of pushing through, so I imagine that is making her want mommy to hold her more... so sweet! I love our sweet little love bug!!! Liliana was helping to sooth her by sharing her musical jewelry box with her. And, what a shot... just happened...
