Beautiful day outside today. I can smell autumn approaching. It's amazing!
After Nate got home today from work we were chatting about how much Piper has changed this summer. It is insane the amount of talking she does! She is literally Charly's shadow. When Charly has done wrong or is feeling sad, despite Charly's sassy attitude towards her, Piper is ALWAYS trying to give her love.
The gap between the girls is closing at an steady pace and it's is exciting for us to watch them play and grow together. I can't say that enough!
Tonight for FHE we made a hand wreath and wrote on them all the things we can do with our hands that would be pleasing to eternal families. Most all of Charly's dealt with her sister. Piper of course had only scribbles on hers. (We are putting a family pic in the middle)
Oh I almost forgot, while Nate was as work the girls and I sat down and we looked at albums and talked about when we got married and had Charly and then Piper. Charly was very excited when we got to her birth and she says she really misses nursing (in a very sad voice too) it was too precious. I told her we could cuddle more to make up for it, she agreed. Piper kept looking at her baby pictures and saying "eewwww" when she came across bath pictures. For the rest of the day she kept pointing at her tummy and saying "baby, baby".
After our activity and A Nephi Wedding cake, which tasted more like bread with frosting, we headed to a park we hadn't been to yet in Windom TX. Population 2 (OK maybe it's 200, maybe). I'm not sure what it is about these small TX towns but every single park we have been to has a death slide! Seriously these slides have got to be at least 15 feet tall! So of course Piper sees them and immediately heads for them, and yet she isn't the biggest fan of swings....must not be dangerous enough.
Long, successful day, back and home and ready for bed...Eh Um, did you notice Piper's shirt? Charly got her dressed and all day Piper kept pointing to her shirt and saying "Sha-lee Shert" and "Sha-lee pant".
Piper fell asleep in Charly's bed while we were reading Indian in the Cubbard, which BTW is catching all of our attentions! It seems to be a great family read so far, Charly likes it when the indian talks the most.
This couldn't be any more off topic, but Nate and I are throwing the idea around of me going back to school. Something I would do for selfish reasons only, I'm not seeking a career outside of raising our kids. Now would be the time to go back if I was going to do it simply because of the girls ages. We are trying to get direction as to what we should do, because obviously going back to school would mean we would hold off on having another baby for another few years. So the big question on my mind is go back to school or expand our family......hmmm....
