Reese & Olivia have

Reese & Olivia have seriously been spending too much time together! Yesterday we watched The Nativity movie and when Elizabeth gave birth to John the Baptist, Livy wanted to know why she was yelling & crying. Without really thinking ahead, I said that the baby was being born and it hurts when the baby comes out of your tummy. To which she of course replied, why? I was at a complete loss and just tried (unsuccessfully) to change the subject. After awhile she gave up, until the end of the movie when Mary gave birth to Jesus! This is why parents start saying things like "it's complicated" or "I'll tell you when you're older" or "because I said so!"

Her new name is "Tulip".

Her new name is "Tulip". She's just about the cutest thing ever!

Clarification

Just to clarify. We hope she falls asleep on the way home. This has not happened yet. We can only wish.

After 36 hours of potty training and still no pee pee in the potty, I needed a good laugh. Thanks! She is one funny kid. :)

How adorable! Isn't it great

How adorable! Isn't it great to see big sisters being big sisters (especially when they are still so little themselves)!

Liv is really taking off with her drawing too - latest was an elephant! I don't think she's identified herself in any of her pictures yet, though . . .

Oh, and as regards our President's comments, it is appalling to me that he is either so ignorant or so conniving that he will not recognize the value of life in the womb. Either way it is inexcusable, but I'm afraid it is not ignorance. It does seem he has awoken a sleeping giant, though, in that for the first time ever, Gallup found in a national survey more people identified themselves as pro-life than pro-choice!

When I was about junior high

jenny — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 22:12:16 -0400

When I was about junior high age, I heard my dad say something derogatory about a neighbor who had recently died. I chastised him saying, "Dad, have some respect for the dead." He said something to the effect of, "Just because a person is dead, it does not change what he did when he was alive." Now this particular neighbor was 'cheap' or something equally non important, but the truth is that Dr. George Tiller lived as an abortionist and his tragic death does not change that. He killed fully viable children for a job. His death was a crime & a sin, but so were the deaths of the children whose lives he took. His death doesn't change that. I think Katie Rose said it best, though, that she fears Dr. Tiller was not ready to meet his Maker and she prays that God have mercy on his soul.

So proud!

I forgot to tell you! The other day when Reese and I went for a drive, I got her to say "Punch it, Chewie!" as we pulled away from the driveway (I promised myself I wouldn't cry...)

Oh, I hate when that

jenny — Wed, 13 May 2009 16:55:34 -0400

Oh, I hate when that happens!!!!!!!!!!!

At least you re-created the best part - those are hilarious!

Amy's Daybook April 27th

Nannie — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 23:07:51 -0400

Love reading your Daybook, Amy. I agree, the pork roast is delicious...especially with the plum sauce. Hope Vanessa reads your entry. I know she realizes how much we all love her. I need an idea for Karl...HELP! And there is no bias about it...Mara is the cutest baby ever. And, opening your website, and hearing the two little voices laughing, makes my day!

Happy birthday,

Happy birthday, Vanessa!

You'll have to share your pork loin recipe, Amy. We bought a whole pork loin at Costco and JR cooked 1/3 for Easter. We still have 2/3 in the freezer.

I am also on the hunt for a good hubbie bday gift. I have one small idea but need a good big one . ..

I was pleased that when I clicked over to read about baby Stellan it was a good day!!

What a beautiful picture of Mara - prettiest picture I've seen yet, I think.

Mara & Reese Laughing

I bet I've watched this 100 times. I catch myself smiling at the computer. They are the most adorable little girls and they make my day.

Good daybook, Amy! I know

jenny — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 09:37:16 -0400

Good daybook, Amy! I know what you mean about losing things - especially, pacifiers - I swear there is a pacifier theif who wanders my house snatching them all up & hiding them away. I swear it! My girls just discovered Wonder Pets - they're big fans. We are going to cancel the cable soon and I will miss my DVR!! GREAT video of your girls. I need to do that, too!! Have a great Holy Week! Oh, and are you going to Holy Thursday at 7:30pm? That's the only one I knew of at our parish . . . maybe you'll already be in SA . . . tell your family I say "Hello!"
