Siamese Twins

Just look at how precious and angelic these two looked last night. You'd never know that these are the same two little girls that jump on beds, rip pages out of books and hang them on the wall with stickers, pull down the curtains or drop my laptop-breaking the hinge.

My Latest Favorite Picture is..............

SLUMBER PARTY :-)

I found sleeping bag sets (sleeping bag, eye mask & light) on clearance for $5 at Walmart last week. There was NO WAY that I could resist such a great bargain...plus I knew that it would buy ME some quiet time. :) Emma and Sophie have had SO MUCH fun with them....they both slept in them on Sophie's floor 2 nights in a row!

Emma's First Visit from the Tooth Fairy!!

Emma lost her 1st tooth last Friday! Part of me was excited that she is a big girl now. And, another part of me was sad for the same reason! :) She is quite proud of the gap in the bottom of her mouth. She received $5 from the Tooth Fairy and finally spent it today. :)

Her tooth and her pouch...
(Yeah, I was not prepared and had to find a pouch at home to use)!

CLOSE UP!

Sophie's Day

....okay, it wasn't exactly Sophie's day...but it was her morning! :)

I brought Sophie to a Pre-screen Clinic for Preschool. We went through an obstacle course of rooms and she was tested on:
*Hearing
*Vision
*Speech/Language
* Fine Motor
*Gross Motor
*Cognitive Skills
*Behavioral/Social

Sophie did quite well! There is a delay in her vocabulary and there is a question of where her social skills are at. Her vision screen was questionable...but, I think that her sight is likely FINE. :) It is challenging to test a 3 year old!

Sophie qualified for further evaluation. So, in a month or so we are going to follow up in the above mentioned areas. She had a good time visiting school today! :)

Her prize from Mommy for doing a GOOD job!

Relaxing with a puzzle after her busy morning! Do you like her new hair style? ;)

Emma's 1st Horseback Riding Lesson!

It was a week of "firsts" for Emma! On Friday morning she lost her FIRST TOOTH and the following morning she had her FIRST HORSEBACK RIDING LESSON! Our oldest baby is now officially a big girl! (I will post pictures of her first tooth very SOON). Greg took the following pictures with his Blackberry and emailed them to me so I ended up posting them out of sequence~but, I think that he captured some great pictures of Emma. :) Her teacher's name is Dwayne and her horse was Whiskey. She did a WONDERFUL job and we were all very proud of her...even Sophie! :) Emma will be taking lessons once a week. She loves horses and it will be good "therapy" for her as well....
