We love you, Jaye!!!

My mother's sister, Jaye, is so wonderful. She always has been. When I was little, I thought she was the coolest person ever. (And still do!!) She taught me how to wrap my hair up in a towel after a bath, read me stories, allowed me to torment her at her wedding rehearsal dinner and gave great advice about every thing. She is a speech pathologist in North Carolina and puts many of my fears at rest about speech, business practices and relationships. It was an easy decision for me to want to name Piper after her. I would be proud for both my girls to have her loving, generous spirit, business mind and determination!

My girls do love her, too. Because she works with kids all day long, she knows all the BEST toys. The toys that aren't advertised on TV, and are WAY cool. So far, for nearly every gift giving occasion she has found the perfect toy for my girls. And they don't even know they are learning while they are doing it!!

Thanks, Jaye, for everything!! We hope to see you soon.

Curls are over-rated!

Piper removed her curlers before she went to bed. Brenna stuck it out, but first thing the next morning asked me to take them out.



And even if they didn't last long, she sure felt pretty with what little curl resulted. The rest of us straight haired girls so understand that.

Two adorable unsupervised little girls...

This is what two two-year olds can do while adults are chatting, and older siblings are "helping". I'm not sure you can see just how close the water is to the top of the sink. Nor can you see the ice cream and ice cream cone "taking a bath" along with a mess of bath tub toys.

Ah, what fun!!

I love pudding!
