Well this lady. When she grows up watch out. If you are on her good list be thankful. She's getting taller, I can tell because she is finally growing out of her 12 month cloths. Our tiny girl finally moved to 12-18 month cloths, ha! She still needs to be held a ton especially when she's getting the lay of the land at a new place or if there are strangers in the room. But when she does warm up to a situation watch out. Running, laughing and screaming are her favorite things. Sliding down the stairs, jumping into the pool and washing her hands are also in her top ten. We finally have her eating more 'real' food which has been great for this nursing mama. AND...we've been stringing full night sleeps together. Ok, so not in the past week but there has been a definite change in my ability to get some more sleep. Hmm, what else?? Still no talking other than screaming mama, dada and dede (Deven) but there is a lot signing going on which is helping with the screaming my name bit. She loves loves shoes, light sabers, books and having people so her hair over and over again. She gives the very best hugs and the sweetest kisses. She straight up is the baby of the family and she knows her power over the three of us.

Construction zone
We may just have bitten off more than we can chew but we are in it now. Well we were in it about four years ago when we started this with the rebuilding of Deven (now Tova's) old room. The goal is to be done by October. Cross your fingers folks cuz with with these near tornado weather conditions off and on in the last couple of weeks we are going to need a lot of fingers. If anyone can do it though it's definatly Nick, the craziest most awesome guy I know. This house is going to be beautiful.
P.S., We are taking suggestions on paint color. Don't worry we are hiring out this portion of this job.
First day of school 2013
So I was in full on crazy mama mode this morning. Thankfully Deven was of sound mind. We got our new shoes on and were all packed up and ready to go relatively on time. There were only a couple hiccups while we figured out which rooms to be in. With a million plus one kisses and a thousand hugs I left the kiddos with their new teachers. Yes, I called to check up on both of them and thankfully their teachers were able give me good news (they don't sugar coat it). Here's all the evidence of the morning. You can't say they aren't cute.
