Marriage and Motherhood: Foooood! And a quick update.

I have been on a cooking bender for the past couple weeks...not sure why, but I'm happy (as are the girls and Jeff).

Haven't had much time to write (busy cleaning up after wreaking the kitchen about five times a day and watching a progressively more energetic baby), but wanted to post a quick update and some photos.

The girls are super excited about the latest addition to our backyard:

Can you blame them?

Ri is getting much more complex with her vocabulary and expressions...makes for very adorable sayings...must remember to share them. Like today, I changed out most of their summer wear with fall/winter wear, and she heard from Tay that "Mommy took out all the dresses!" So Ri comes running upstairs and says, "All the dresses gone she say!" And immediately looks into her closet where she finds warmer dresses hanging there and she turns to me with a big grin on her face and goes, "No, they not. They still there. Silly Unni."

She's a feisty one, this one...

The girls' bedroom is finally coming along:

I think I'll still rearrange it a few times to get it the way I want it, but this is how it's set up at the moment.

Reagan is really starting to sit up on her own well now. She still topples over some, but at least she isn't sniffing her toes the whole time like she used to when I'd sit her up.

(Look at those adorably chubby legs!!!)

She is also very very vocal...she's got a lot to say and demands to be entertained frequently:

She's always on the move, too.

We went out to dinner last night, and here's a photo as we waited for our food. Tay has some bad bites on her chin that we think may have gotten infected from scratching, so we are going to see the doc tomorrow. Ri has taking to licking people when going in for a kiss...didn't mean to catch it on camera, but there it is anyway...
