He one up'd me
This afternoon I was playing with the girls and made a pretty sweet tent...you know the chair and blanket kind. We had fun playing in it and Isabel called it her house.

Football season is over...
...well high school football at least. One of the [dis]advantages of living close to a school is that we get to hear all the football cheers, announcements, band, almost every Friday night in the fall.This happened weeks ago now, but I wanted to post about it before I forgot. We had talked for weeks about taking the girls to a game for the whole experience, but things just kept coming up. Finally, on the last game of the season it worked out for Lee to take Isabel. She LOVED it! She loved the people cheering, watching the cheerleaders, watching the band (her favorite part), and people loved watching her too with all her enthusiasm (so I'm told). She will randomly ask me from time to time if we can ALL go to a football game sometime. I keep telling her we have to wait until next year, which of course in a 3-year-old mind is tomorrow.

life.
Hmm, my last post was from Halloween...time for an update huh?
Life has just been well...life. We've been getting used to the cold weather and enjoying the warm weather when it comes. We've been doing "school," playing, watching movies, visiting with friends, going to the doctor, the normal life stuff. We're trying to get into a routine, but it seems each week brings random things that change that routine.
Isabel has been a great big sister lately. There are moments where the girls play together SO well. They chase each other around or Isabel helps Ana do things she can't quite do on her own yet. I feel like Isabel is really starting to get school stuff. She loves picking out letters on signs she sees when we are in the car and will say, "mommy the letter 'D,' like for daddy." She's getting pretty good at writing her name. On Sunday I looked over at a table she was coloring at and she had written almost all of her name all on her own. I just want to hold onto her little girl sweetness before it disappears before my eyes! I could have pages of things she says that are so darn cute. Today a friend suggested to her she could ask for something she wanted for Christmas. She said, "Mommy, how do I call Santa on your phone?"
Ana's growing by leaps and bounds too. She had her 15 month appt. not too long ago and she is tall and skinny, the pattern of our kids thus far. She LOVES to brush her teeth. She would brush them 5 times a day if I let her. It's kind of nice cause she will just sit on the toilet and brush them while I finish getting ready in the morning. Speaking of teeth. I think all of hers decided to come in at once. She has an amazing vocabulary. Should I be scared when our doctor warns us she's extremely advanced for her age? I'm not sure why God blessed us with two very talkative girls, but He did. Someday I'm looking forward to how He's going to use this. Should I call it a "gift?" My favorite thing she says now is, "I get you." And does anyone else get their kids voices confused? There are certain times when they are both calling for mommy I can't tell who is who.
And then there's us. No it's not how we look all the time, but it's probably how we feel most of the time. Isabel took this picture. We had this deal when we traveled like 30 hours to the Philippines. If one of us was about to lose it, flip out, etc, we'd just look at each other and give, which ever one of us it was, this face. The idea was we'd snap out of it and just laugh. We DID use this method and I think it worked...most of the time.:) We feel so blessed to have each other and fall in love more and more everyday.

A puppy and a kitty
Ana's 1st sucker - she LOVED it!!!:)
When we got home from trick or treating Lee negotiated with Isabel. He would buy all her candy for $15.00 or she could keep some and he would give her $10.00 for the rest of it. She chose to keep some and take the $10.00. So today we went out to Kroger and she got to pick out a toy with her $10.00. I love this "tradition" Lee (really started by his dad with him - buying his candy from him) started with Isabel. She still gets to have fun, gets less sugar, and gets a fun "treat" in the end. Last night I asked her what she thought she wanted for a toy and she thought about it for a minute. She then said, "a TV I can put in my room, cause I don't have a TV in my room." I told her, "maybe when you're in college." So today, she decided on an Ariel princess toy she can dress up.:)
