They may not be perfect, but I love them dearly.

I am thankful for my sweet Haylee girl. She is my big helper and so independent. Yes sometimes she talks non stop and it sometimes drives me nuts, but I love when she will quietly sit in her room and read books and color. She can be hyper crazy and yet she can be laid back and watch a movie. Her attitude needs an improvement but she can be so loving and just want to cuddle. She is very smart and has the wildest imagination. She always wants to pretend she is an animals or person from a movie or book. She always makes us laugh and is so loving towards Jackson. She is so beautiful and has the sweetest face and big, brown eyes. She is my world, and I love her to the moon and back!

Natalee can be so ornery sometimes but I love that little girl like crazy. She keeps me busy for sure but I wouldn't trade it for a minute. Whether I'm getting her off the dining room table or telling her to stop climbing on chairs and coffee tables I can't help but just laugh sometimes because she is such a stinker. I love when she is cuddly and lets me hold her but that is rare these days. Except at night anyway and that is my favorite time. I LOVE rocking Natalee and just talking to her and cuddling with her. She will lay there calm in my arms and I just can't get enough. I am so thankful that these last 2 days she has taken extra long (2 1/2-3 hours) naps. All of us have been laying day each day for much needed rest. I love listening to Natalee talk. She says new words all the time. I love her funny facial expressions, she just cracks me up. I also love the way she dances! She swivels her hips and moves her little feet, we call her Happy Feet. I love my sweet baby N more than life itself.

We leave for San Diego in just a few days and 3 out of the 4 of us and not feeling the hottest. I am feeling better, just weak and yucky, but really no symptoms. I can't decide if Natalee has a cold or if her "issues" are due to teething. She had a runny nose and felt hot 1 day and now she seems better. And then poor little Haylee woke up yesterday not feeling good. I don't get it, I have been planning this vacation and looking forward to it for months and then we all get sick the week before we go. Oh well, I'd rather be sick sitting on the beach watching the waves roll in than sitting on the couch where it's 100 degrees outside.

So I will continue to pray we all feel better soon and that we have a wonderful vacation. San Diego here we come.........in a couple days anyway :)
