like mommy, like daughter...her eyelids don't fit over her eyes either :)

read herself to sleep...it's almost midnight in this pix

i like to call this baby mummy or baby straight jacket


daddy and s do a little reading before bedtime

it's amazing what can get done before 8:30am these days....
* feed susanna
* feed caroline
* feed myself
* put angelina ballerina video on for caroline
* take a shower and get dressed (even put lotion on my legs)
* fold and hang up laundry from dryer
* put susanna down for a nap
* color with caroline
* listened to my sweet caroline sing "hallelujah, your love is amazing" - the best part of my morning by far...nothing can make me cry faster than hearing her sing praises unconsciously to our deserving God. can you imagine how that kind of praise sounds to Him?
* wash bottles
* make up caroline's bed and straighten up her room
* make my bed
* put breakfast dishes in the dishwasher
* get diaper bag ready for our outing today - 2 bottles, formula, change of clothes for each girl, pull up for caroline just in case, 4 diapers and case of wipes for susanna, wallet, camera, phone, keys, sunglasses, snack and some fruit for caroline, burp cloth, blanket
* clean out car from day before to make room for today's trash :)
* lay out ham from freezer for dinner
* check email

Lauren, you're AMAZING!! I only have one child and I haven't done half of the things that you listed that you did before 8:30!! Which reminds me, I probably need to go pick up my house before Eric gets home tomorrow from a night on call! :)
Love you, Tanya

How funny. Probably the only time in our lives we'll be closest to WonderWoman!! Me and Chris were laughing when we realized we had made/eaten pancakes and were outside on our swingset by 7 a.m last Saturday! Hope you're napping when those precious girls nap! They are so beautiful!!

Look at you! You're doing it! That is so awesome!

Your girls are so precious - I loved looking at all your pictures and getting to know you here - thanks for introducing yourself! Oh, how I miss that baby stage, even though it's SO HARD on the bod. I'm looking forward to getting to know you more as time goes on.
