Oh How They Mimic!

There isn't a picture for this post, but you will be able to visualize it in your minds. Yesterday I had the girls in the morning. Luke joined us after school and lunch with his daddy. I was busily making dinner rolls for Thanksgiving Day. They were playing very happily in the living room. Krista (who is 14 mos.) went to get on the small rocking horse that we have had since Luke's first birthday. All of a sudden Kayla (2 1/2) decided that she wanted to ride on it. So she climbed onto it much to Krista's dismay. Krista looked at her big sister very sternly and shakes her finger at her. I had to cover my mouth so that she wouldn't see me laughing. Wonder who she looked like? Could it be grandma? or momma? maybe both? I really wanted a photo, but the moment would have been gone by the time I grabbed it. But I couldn't let another day go by without sharing it. It is so fun to watch how the two girls interact, play well, and then compete with each other. I am sure they will be the best of friends as time progresses. In the meantime, I am treasuring them all. They are my jewels!!

Mollie turns 14!!!

I swiped this off a friend's blog. She is actually Mollie's sitter when we are away, so I don't believe she will mind. We returned home from Texas yesterday (pictures coming) with some chicken nuggets for a special pet. It was her birthday, and we had to treat her. We were going to get her a cheeseburger, but we talked Bobby into Wendy's instead of McDonalds. :-) Mollie didn't care. Anything was better than dry dog food. So we celebrate our pet! Crazy, but since she is likely our last one, we celebrated her making it to age 14 - let's see that is about 98 in human years. She has been a good bet. Thanks Elizabeth for the great photo. And for taking such great care of her and the house.
