Louise was running through the planets the other day. She was trying to impress me with her knowledge of all the planets. “Mommy, I know all the planets and in order!!” “Oh yeah? What are they?” “Mercury…Venus…Earth…” (Counts on her fingers)

My sleeping beauties… I can’t believe how grown they are. Just the sweetest things in the world. I adore these girls. Such a difference from when Thelma was 18 months and Louise was just born. Louise was literally 3-4 days old. It’s true what they say…kids grow too fast. I can’t believe it’s been 8 years. [...]

The girls noticed a pay phone the other day and commented: “Mommy look! You don’t see much of these anymore!” So true. With the advent of the cell phone, who needs a pay phone these days? Good riddens though. The earpiece on those things are nasty! The last time I used one was over ten [...]
