Almost One

23 More days until the big day!

I Can't believe how fast they change and learn these days. Lexi is walking along furniture, she has learned "so big" and puts her arms up as far as she can. Natalee has finally had the courage to pull herself up to standing. She gets so proud of herself. She too, knows the "so big". They are both kissing and hugging everything and everyone.

I had Natalee out on the lawn the other day while Lexi was sleeping and she began crawling on the grass for the first time. She thought it was so fun. Then she began going for the mulch to eat it. I kept turning her around, but she is a stubborn one!





They love their wagon. We alternate the stroller for the wagon every night on our after dinner walks. They have made friends with all the neighborhood kitties and dogs. I'm afraid I will be getting hounded for a pet soon.

We had to pull out all our fall cloths a couple of days ago. The girls look so cute in their little outfits. It's sure sad to pack away all their tiny summer outfits.

We are counting down the days until the big birthday bash. We just got news on Monday that Grandma and Auntie Jan are flying out for the party. I couldn't be happier. Christmas was the last time they saw their auntie and April since they saw Grandma. They will be so surprised at the changes. I can't wait!

This first year has blown by. I have been so blessed. I love my new home, my new job, my life with my daughters. So much has happened over the past year and I know I am where I am supposed to be. Life is so good. Exhausing, but good!
