random moments

 i thought i'd capture a few of the random, happy moments from the last few days.

i hadn't seen dave in a while and found him and abe reading way past bedtime.

  

my mom spent a few days with me when dave had to work late and overnight.  it was heaven.  she cooked and cleaned and taxi'd the kids everywhere.  i took naps and completely enjoyed holding my baby.  i love laying next to her, looking at her and hearing her breath (purr) and squeak.  my mom even sent my dad up for a day.  he walked in and told me my mom made him come to vacuum.  he drove an hour each way so he could vacuum my house and please my mom.  he would vacuum, then sit and have a snack and check his tweets from greg wrubell.  then he would vacuum some more.    

sadie photographs vivian often.  i think this one of her holding sadie's hand is precious.  i love viv's fingers and toes and her hair that sticks straight up.  i love watching sadie love her too.

this baby girl is an amazing gift!  i love when she puts her little arm around me... she and i belong together.

kai loves her and so of course he wants to share with her something he loves, like taking stats.  not real stats, just making them up for fun.  i think he likes to watch the numbers change and so he thought she would enjoy it too.  

impressive stats!

vivian's first real outing was to the elementary school for kai's first grade program.  i was a little nervous taking her because i'm sure walking into the elem school is like walking into a big germ.  it was good we went though.  kai knew every word of every song and had a dancing part that was awesome.  he also liked showing off his new little sister.

dave had the week off of work when we had vivs, but now that he is back to work he is quite busy.
he holds her when he gets the chance and i love to hear him talk to her. he is always telling her how beautiful she is and how glad he is that she came to our family.  

(did i mention i love her hands and feet?)

 abe tied his own tie for church and was really proud of his knot.  the tie was a little shorter than he expected....we like to call it 'fun size'.

kai and max went to soccer practice and on the way i could hear kai saying how much he hoped he got the orange pinny because then his outfit would look so awesome.  his wish came true:)
