Beautiful Faces

I've been trying to change some of my habits in regards to my face.  Limit the make-up (obviously that's not a hard one), all-natural one or two ingredient cleanser and moisturizer.  And I love it.  I use half and half of olive oil and castor oil for my face cleanser and then 100% coconut oil as the moisturizer.  I love it, it makes your skin feel amazing.  Here's some more information if you are interested: Simple Mom.

But look at these faces!  No special soap, cleanser, moisturizer, exfoliator, or cream of any kind needed.  Just a wipe down every once in a while.  Beautiful!



Isn't this the most amazing thing?  Your child reading (!) to your other children!  I love it and she takes such pride in it.  She's still writing lots of notes and letters.  Yesterday she boasted to us that another girl at school said she wanted to be her (or be like her) because Lillian is a good dancer and a good artist.  Now there's a confidence booster.

The boys are well and keeping healthy despite being dropped off at the Y childcare regularly.  Kyle and I are battling something but thankfully nothing too bad and Lillian has stayed healthy amidst it all.  This crazy warm weather seems to keep the germs around.  Our winter never really showed up this year.  Our heat has been off and the windows open, even during the night last night.

Those are some beautiful faces, Katie!! Next time include yourself. :-) Amelia wore Lillian's pink Nike jacket to the park tonight - thought of you. She always remembers that it's from Lillian. Thank you! Lillian has the presence of a mature little girl (at least in photos). :-) Miss you and hope complete health returns to you all soon!

As I'm laying here on bed rest, I can't stop thinking about having a newborn a my arms. But alas, I'm still at home waiting for this baby to decide to come. My Tuesday appointment showed an elevated blood pressure (same occurred with the other two) and so I spent 2.5 hours at the hospital for monitoring and lab tests. With normal results I was sent home (thank you thank you) on bed rest. This means little to no movement around. Grammy is most affected by this and she's doing an amazing job with Lillian and Jack - in fact, she's doing everything, including taking care of me and the household chores. Wow! The good news is that I've moved on from 2cm (16 days ago) to 4cm. So really, it's up to the babe to realize what a great family and world awaits him on this side :) It could be he/she is waiting for Kyle and I to decide on a good name - suggestions anyone? Here are the first pics of my Lillian May and Jack Robert: Jack joined our family at 10:24...
