rem dog!

thanks, auntie heather!! rem dog came to us unstuffed and undressed, so lucy got to go to the build-a-bear store to get him stuffed and to put a heart in his chest before he was sewed up! they even have "dressing rooms" for the animals, so she also got to dress rem dog in the red sox gear that heather sent. very fun gift!!!



as you can see by the "footie pajamas," we have had a cold spell the last few days!

mom and the girls & morning

a couple backyard photos of me and the girls - and a couple early morning photos too. yes, that is lucy wearing thick tights in july...with her sneakers and her pajama top...waking up the neighborhood...she has a mind of her own!
one morning last week (the day that scott is home all day with the girls), after we had fed the girls, cleaned up from breakfast, played outside, played inside, played with playdough, gotten dressed, changed the second round of diapers...scott looked at me and said, "it's 7:15."
no rest for the weary!
