Conversations with Abigail.

this morning i was pushing abbie on the swing and this is how the convo went:

A: "aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
M: "don't scream Abigail"
A: "we only scream when we're lost, huh mom?  if we're lost in the forest, we say mom!"
M: "yah, that would be a good time to scream"
A: "yah"
M: "or we scream if a stranger tries to get you to go with them, we don't talk to strangers alright abs?"
A: "okay"
M: "do you know what a stranger is?"
A: "no"
M: "a stranger is someone you don't know"
A: "like a wolf, with teeth. and a dragon"
M: "ok"

what in the world.

4 months

My little E turned 4 months old today. 

how in the world did this happen?
her laugh is infectious!

It's been another long week at the Caldwell residence with Clark traveling.  These two cuties sure miss their dad (as does their mother)

this is the scene i came across a couple of nights ago about an hour after i put Abbie to bed.  What in the world? yes, that is a circle of undies (including the pair she was supposed to be wearing)

Abbie is finishing up her 2 week swim class and has really enjoyed it.  She is definitely a fish.  She insisted i buy her the "special swim glasses" aka goggles!

 

 Emma Jo is getting so old! she's starting to grab things and roll from tummy to back.  slow down little gal!

Happy Father's Day

just for fun

Being a mom is hard.
really hard.but i sure love these ragga-muffins

little prayers

Abbie says the sweetest prayers. She has started saying all the prayers at our house and listening to them is one of the best parts of my day.
Tonight she said the prayer at bedtime and here's a little piece of the goodness

"... thank you for the tree with the fruit (we had just read about the Tree of Life in her scripture book),
please bless daddy to be safe in dahoo (haha, he's in Idaho for work),
please bless baby sister to sleep real good,
please bless mama to not get mad when i get out of my bed,
please bless me to stay in my bed..." isn't she great!
