Lindsey @ 6 months pt.2

Thanks to all of you who participated in my last post. B and C are Lindsey and A and D are Mikey.
Here are some pictures of Lindsey taken earlier that day. I know there are lots and they are quite similar but I think this shows some of her many faces. These were all taken in just a few moments.

A game to celebrate Lindsey @ 6 months...

Lindsey is six months old!!!! I can't beleive it. My Baby Girl is growing up so fast. I was taking pictures and decided to play a game. I took some pictures of Lindsey like the ones of Mikey and I want to see who can tell the difference. Don't cheat. Don't view old posts. It is just for fun. Tomorrow (or sometime in the near future) I will tell who is who and post about Lindsey at 6 months. Have fun, and remember to be honest. Start at the top as picture A and to the bottom D. Two are Mike two are Linds. Good Luck!!!

I just have to say that I really love my kids. I love watching them grow and learn and discover. I love watching them together and watching them when they don't know I'm there. I love being a mom.

Back to school...

Back to School...
Well it has been a week since Mikey started school and this is the first chance that I have taken to blog. I am surprised at how hard it was to leave him. I am also surprised at how hard it was for him when it was time for me to leave, but we both survived. By the end of the day he decided that he loves school. (Especially when he gets to stay and play on the playground.)
I also went back to school this week. I started a class at LCC last night. I am taking the Orientation to Child Care or Level 1. I am not sure which was harder going back to school or sending him to school. I was so nervous but it all turned out great. We all survived.

One Day Mikey made a dog house out of a sheet on the table and some blankets and pillows underneath. Mikey wanted Lindsey to play with him. This is a picture of my two puppies.

One Sunday Mikey was helping me get Lindsey ready he wanted to brush her hair so that she looked nice. I just had to have a picture. I love the look on his face.

This is Lindsey's cheesy grin. I love it. She smiles this way quite often, especially when she thinks she is alone and then you talk to her.

Mike has been halping Mikey try to learn to ride his own bike without training wheels but for some reason he can't get the pedal when you let go thing. He can do great with the training wheels on and he can do fine if Mike touches the bike but as soon as he lets go Mikey quits pedaling.

Minn I know you want photos and I will try later. I just thought I would get on so that mom would quit gossiping about how poorly I blog. I am really not quite sure what to write. Life is good. My kids are growing SOO fast I can't beleive it. Today I went to a pool party at the local pool. Me amd one of the other moms were talking about our hate of bathing suites. I made a comment about remembering when I didn't have kids and didn't hate my body and she said " you should love your body more now that it has done something for you." It really made me think and so while I wish I was better at taking care of my body I can say that I am grateful for my body and the two beautiful kids it created.
