The past 5...

Been busy, busy squaring things away at the home front and stretching our fun-filled, fast-paced days...before I become a hermit with the babe for a while.
The past five are a bit of a blur but this weekend will remain engraved on my heart for the rest of my days.  We managed to pack in lots of sweet little dates...us and the girls...me and Amelia...Hunt and Tillie...me and the Mr.!

Friday night lights at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse!!! The girls LOVED it all!
The "Delicious King" (as Amelia called the chef) and his onion volcano...
the chopsticks...




















the clear soup...
and, peek-a-boo with the sushi chefs!



















Saturday, Amelia and I escaped for a little "Pink Pampering"...
Toes and ice cream!  





















Sure love me some one-on-one time with my eldest!  She's growing so fast and while I tear up at the thought of her years accumulating at this pace, the anticipation of all the "girly dates" ahead eases my sorrows.

Finally, the Mr. and I wrapped things up with a special night on Pops!  He treated us to a sitter & dinner! It was both delicious and LONG...enjoyed every minute of our adult-only date!  I'm starting to think I should have babies more often:)

Our rainbow on the way to dinner!  Such a sweet, sweet reminder of the Lord's promises and provision!



















Mom, you can arrive now:)

Day 13

Daily blog upkeep is tough since we are now creeping about at a bloated snail's pace!
Full day today, though...

1).  Approaching cat fight that ends in embrace en route to summer school...
2).  Much overdo haircuts for Amelia and mom...
3).  Dinner at Chuy's...  Hinys and heart-to-hearts with Dad while waiting...
4).  Techno dancing outside of Bebe's before we call it a day!

Days 20-17....EEK!

I assure you the 4 day sabbatical is not due to a lack of photo opps or noteworthy moments (not that our day-to-day life is noteworthy to anyone other than us)... It's merely due to the severe nesting disorder AND 3 days of eye-on-the-prize potty training going on behind these ever shrinking walls!  So, to stay true to my word, below are some pics of what we've been up to these past 4 days.

Day 20...
Never been one for belly shots but Amelia has been rather intrigued with my camera lately and wanted to take some pictures of the baby!  Which is bigger...tummy or hiny?!?  EEK!

Day 19... 
Naked Indians...EEK!
 This one just makes me belly laugh!  I guess they're on a bear hunt???



Day 18...
Potty Princess!!! BYE-BYE pampers (at least for 16 more days:))...HELLO panties!
Day 17...
Church-bound & praying to not wet the pew...me or Tillie!
