Our Week

Last weekend my parents came over to watch the girls so Chris and I could go over to our friends house to play poker and hang out. The girls always have so much fun with Grammy and Papa. For some reason we always manage to have tons of pictures with Papa but not too many with Grammy, maybe because Grammy doesn't always like having her picture taken ;-)

Here they are getting a horsey ride together from my dad. He also does this race car thing that is hilarious.


This was B's first trip in the Barbie Escalade. I thought we'd try it while daddy was home to help make sure Elliott didn't get too crazy so I could stay by Berkley. B loved it- she had her little arm draped over the window. I can't believe how big she is now. She got to ride in the little car cart at Kroger with E last time we went. She thinks she's pretty cool now.

Little Berkley is having a tough time with all this new found ability. Now that she can sit up, if she's awake in bed she's always sitting up. Last night she only cried for a couple minutes, when I went in to check on her she was sleeping like this. Looks comfortable doesn't it?

Here she is in her new outfit from Aunt Amanda and Uncle Brad. Such a big girl! She is working hard on pulling up by herself, if I help her up she stand up for a good while.

Here is E out back swinging. We love our swing set! It gives us something to do during Berkley's naps.
I think I've mentioned it before, but Elliott really looks forward to the days when Daddy stays home. She has been asking everyday how many days until daddy will be home with us. He had the idea that we should make her a chart so she could see it and start working on her days of the week. So Elliott and I made one yesterday. She loves it


There is a little Elliott on a stick that she moves to each pocket. She keeps it on the back of her bedroom door.

Oh, I got teary-eyed when I saw the calendar. What a great idea! What adorable pics of the girls :)

I love the calendar. And doubly deicious because it's about time with her daddy - not something lame like when she gets to see some movie.

Chrissy, I love the calendar you made!! Carter is also obsessed with the days Daddy will be home--must be this age. And Berkley is too cute in the Barbie Escalade. Love her new outfit. Great posts.

What an awesome idea! I think we may have to steal your idea. The two things Cassie looks forward to are: show and tell and stay at home days. Your girls are so cute.
Love all the pictures.
