Captured

What seems like a long time ago (but was only just a few months ago), I had the urge to try to "capture" life, or the moments that made up life, before Lucy joined us. We can't ever ever ever imagine life without Lucy, but I did want something to help us remember when it was just Abigail and I spending our days together.

Multi-tasking and Other Stuff

Abigail helping to make Buttermilk Pancakes, talking on her phone, and somehow keeping her hair out of her face....all at the same time.
Sisters living happily ever after. Abigail loves Lucy so much...especially because she is even better than a baby doll and likes to be fed and have her make-up done. Lucy is a good sport about it all.

Our family of four. Yes, FOUR.

When she's out....she's out. I was trying to do laundry and hold her at the same time...but it wasn't happening...thankfully, the laundry basket was the perfect "holding" spot for Lucy.
And...we like nursery rhymes in our house, "One shoe off and one shoe on" (socks in our case).

Snowed in. Did you hear? Georgia was hit with a pretty major snow-storm (6 inches in these parts is big news) and we were house-bound for 3 days. We enjoyed many cups of hot chocolate and everyone was happy.

Almost

With this still in our memories from last years visit

we spent weeks prepping Abigail for another, more successful, visit this year. We even made a "practice" visit to Santa and just sat and watched the children sit on his lap.

This year, she agreed to just stand by him.

She even said "cheese".
And... need we say more?



Note: Lucy was a champ through the whole thing.
Abigail recovered quite nicely...the chocolate helped.

Magic

Magic Erasers really are magic. Really. The other day I accidentally left a sharpie marker out on the counter. I wasn't gone long...but by the time I returned, sharpie marker had made it onto my Pottery Barn plates. Abigail, oblivious to any wrong-doing, just told me "I writing my A's Mommy". (We have been practicing writing the letter "A" these days). I pulled out our magic eraser and Hooray--- they really are magic and my plates are as good as new.
p.s. Abigail and I did have a little chat about only writing on paper.
