Scenes from the Day

It was a good day.

Frozen in Dance

At her dance class last week, Zara got to try on her outfit for her dance recital in May. Their routine is set to music from Frozen (of course) and Zara is super excited about both the dance and her Elsa dress. The only trick will be keeping her out of her new sparkly dress before the recital.

Pi Day

Our Pi Day celebrations were postponed by a day so we indulged in all things pie today rather than yesterday. We had pizza for lunch (leftover from last night's dinner), chicken pot pie for dinner, and apple pie and banana cream for dessert.

Since David works late during the week, we've taken to having our version of Family Home Evening on Sundays. The girls love singing songs, playing games and eating treats together. Since the weather was so nice today and the sun still up, we held our FHE in our backyard. We played duck-duck-goose and Adelaide pulled weeds with such pride. It was a lovely day. I hope this means spring may finally be here to stay.

Oh Boy.

It's upside down, but here's the baby's head.

Yup. We're doing this again. 

Only this time it's a boy.

I have no idea what to do with a penis.

(That's really not supposed to sound dirty.)

I'm 20 weeks along, due on July 23rd, which is my dad's birthday.

Everything looked great at our ultrasound, which is good because I was convinced that there was something terribly wrong with this baby. Zara and Adelaide were both extremely active by this point in my pregnancy, and I've barely felt this little boy move. I'm going to pretend that means that he's going to be calm and easy going and sweet.

A mom can dream, can't she?

Sisters

It's often really hard to get a good picture of Zara and Adelaide together where one is not blurry and both are looking at the camera. It's pretty much the rainbow unicorn of family pictures. But I managed to get ONE such picture recently which I had to share. (And a few others.)

Sisters are awesome. And despite their squabbles, they do love each other a whole ton. I'm so glad they have each other and I love seeing how they are both so similar and different from one another. My sister is one of my best friends and I only hope that these girls will become lifelong friends as well.
