No words tonight...I've had a migraine all day.

We didn't do much today besides church.  This week we taught toddler class again and it was super busy...we had 12 toddlers!  I think that's the most we've ever had, we had a helper....but it was still quite chaotic!  Our service tonight was great!  We have been discussing Genesis 3 and the fall of man.  Tonight's focus was on women (specifically Genesis 3:16) and how that verse shapes us as women and how it plays out in our relationships with our husbands.  It definitely made me look at things with a new perspective.  I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the series next week...it should be very good as well.

We did have some sun this morning, but unfortunatly I didn't get any pictures until tonight.  The only ones I could capture of her were when she was busy eating....thus the ravioli all over her face.

We were up and out early this morning for my MOPS meeting.  We had a great speaker who taught us how to get the most out of a home vegetable garden.  It was very interesting and I really learned a lot.  Doug has a garden every year, so now we have a few new things to try.  It was fun start to our day.

After MOPS we came home for naptime.  Ana Kate had a great nap today, but was a tiny bit cranky when she got up. 

I got a new lens for my camera yesterday and was SO looking forward to playing with it today.  We had a cloudy day with a few sprinkles...so not a lot of time outside.  I took Ana Kate out after her nap and she was a little lethargic, so we didn't take many pictures.  Oh...and Ana Kate insisted on wearing her green shoes today and kept pointing them out to me and telling me how they matched her shirt....so I included one of the many pictures of her 'showing' me her shoes.

When Doug got home we decided to go out for dinner and Ana Kate did so well.  After that we made a quick trip to Walmart and then home for the night.

Today the weather here was beautiful!!  Normally I wouldn't think 50° is very warm...but with the sunshine today it felt wonderful!  We went outside for pictures and it was so nice we stayed out longer than I had planned.  I am so thankful we had such a beautiful day....hopefully it will be tomorrow as well, but I think there is rain in the forecast.

Doug got the rest of Whitney's stuff moved tonight, so she is officially back at home.  I did fine with her being out on her own, but I have to say it's nice to have all of your children under your roof at night.

Not much else going on today.

We had a pretty rough night last night....Ana Kate didn't sleep well and even after she got in our bed she was crying every few hours.  Not sure why she was having issues sleeping, but she made up for it this morning.  She slept soundly from about 7am to 10am.

I had a doctor's appointment today so Doug came home for lunch to watch Ana Kate.  They cleaned the kitchen while I was gone, which was really nice!  Ana Kate and I then went to Target this afternoon with Mimi and had a good time.  I bought Ana Kate a swimsuit and a couple of summer outfits that were super cute!  I thought since Ana Kate slept in this morning she wouldn't take a nap....but she fell asleep at 4:30 on our way home and didn't get back up until 7:00....so I will probably have a late night tonight.  

In other news...Whitney decided to move back home until she finishes school.  She moved most of her stuff last night, but we'll be getting her furniture and big stuff this week.  I think she really enjoyed being out on her own, but she has a pretty demanding schedule with 35 hours of school each week in addition to work.  I also think it was hard for her to have roomates....3 girls and only 1 bathroom...definitely not something she is used to!  All in all I think it was a good learning experience, but she needs to focus on school right now rather than paying bills.  I know she missed Ana Kate a lot, so they are having some special sister bonding time this week and it's so sweet to see them together.

I've been really slacking on the 365 photos....I think the hardest part of this challenge is that an active 2 year old is my subject!  She doesn't always want her picture taken and lately I just haven't been motivated to get good shots.  So I am going to really put in some effort the rest of this week...we'll see how it goes.  Tonight's pics were taken while watching tv and Ana Kate was having fun with Riley...

I was up really late last night, so we slept in this morning and then cleaned house and played the rest of the day.  The sun was finally shining, but it's still pretty cold outside.  Not much else to say today....

Not much to say today.  Another day at home, but I had both of my girls here....so that was nice.  More snow flurries today...so tired of snow and cold!
