Hallway Fun

So, church is a whole new experience with a little one. Before Lyla it was effortless. I could sit, listen, ponder and reflect. Now, it is a much more physical undertaking. Lots of energy is spent trying to keep our little sweet love entertained. We sit in the back of course, so that we can spread out with some toys and exit quickly if necessary. Because we have a busy and talkative little Honey it is almost always necessary.

The upside is that we are usually in good company. Glad to know I am not the only one who can't keep my child under control! These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago. There was quite a group in the hallway this particular sunday. Most of the kiddos were about the same age and were having so much fun crawling after each other. Who doesn't love a good game of follow the leader? It was pretty entertaining.

Lyla's darling red shoes were a gift from her aunties. We just love those aunties!!!

Sitting Pretty

Lyla recently had her friend Louise over to play. Louise is older and wiser (5 whole weeks - that is a lot when you are only 6 months!) and has already mastered the art of sitting. She is just so talented and was kind enough to show Lyla how it's done!

That is Louise's older brother, Morley, in the background. I'm sure he gives her pointers. He didn't sit still long enough to get a picture - he was too busy launching cars off the rocking chair. Boys!?!

"I got ya!"

"I"m ok, I can do this!"

"Huh?"

After a couple weeks of practice . . .

TA DA!!!

Tina Time

One of my best friends lives far away in Florida. Tina and I met about ten years ago but I feel like I have known her my whole life. Unfortunately I have not seen her in over a year now - so sad - and oh how I miss her! Because we both have little munchkins it is even hard to find time to talk on the phone. We are a good match for many reasons but she is one of the only people I know who likes sweets as much as I do. Candy, chocolate, cookies, brownies, cake, etc.

We love it all!

But our absolute favorite is ice cream. And because it is just more fun to indulge together we plan dates so we can. My latest craving has been Dove Bars and I have had them in my freezer for about a week now waiting for Tina to have the time to eat one with me. Today we both had a free moment. One long conversation and one Dove Bar each.

What a delicious day!
