So here I am again on another "diet". Honestly it is not really that hard. It is pretty basic and there are tasty things to eat. The hardest part for me is to not slather my meat in some sort of sauce. Or layer it with cheese. I haven't really felt that hungry so that is nice. Part me wonders if it is even working. But 13 days goes by fast and tomorrow will be the last of the hard days. After church lunch. Yesterday we had home group and that was ReaLLy hard. And today I accomplished not eating any of the birthday cake.
What else?? Well Ava is now able to wear some pig tails! It is the cutest thing and she seems to be very proud herself.

Ava is also enjoying her Friday play dates with "wear-es" (Charis). It has been a pleasure watching them play together and seeing what there little minds come up with.

Dallas is just a great little guy! He has been a few weeks ago he found this backpack and decided to wear it ALL day. That included when he had to take a nap! He is also taking on that big brother role like a champ. He loves playing with his little Norah Bean.





*and just so you know they did not play in that box with plastic for long ;) And were supervised the whole time.


Norah is just the best! I don't I could ask for a better baby. She hasn't been napping well these days, but for the most part she is happy. Still not crawling and mommy is just fine with that! She does scoot a lot though. The other day I went to take something to the kitchen and I heard her starting to cry. I ran to my room to get her and I couldn't see her. She had scooted under my bed!!

And then we have the Reeser! Reeser is a nickname we have had since she was very little. It is cute when I here her friends calling her by that name too. Well in school they are learning about syllables and Reese has been a little upset that she is the only one in our family that has only 1 syllable. So she has asked me to permanently change her name to Reeser! What a doll!

And then there is the Man of the house. I love having such a handy guy around. I am so thankful for what he has learned and his willingness to tackle some projects. We are in the middle of making another room downstairs. I would love for Norah to have her own room, so he is trying to make that happen for me. Boy do I love this guy!
