Anya & Mikalah - circus days!

Anya was SO proud to be holding "her" baby!
Uh-oh... she's getting away!
NO, she's MINE!  and she's just fine!
Just a little awake - quiet time - NOT usual!
though getting better :D

Mikalah Elisabeth - almost 5 weeks
Thanks for stopping by to see the excitement of our "circus days" - this is about all the excitement I can take! (Anya "holding" Mikalah)

Recent "memories"

Taking pictures  captures a moment... 
and reminds us of the blessings when the moment is gone...
these are just some blessings from the last month...


On an "information note": 
Anya is talking more than ever, and I can actually understand some of it :)  She loves to say "see you" when we're playing.  It seems she says something different every day--though not the same things over and over... She says "Daddy" very well, and calls me "Nonny"--HA :). Mikalah is "diddy" (for "baby") When I change Mikalah, she loves to say "o-o-o-o-o... yucky" until it gets put in the trash. Kyria is being the good big sister... she loves to be a helper, and sometimes gets a little TOO big for her "britches" :) Mikalah is doing better in the sleeping department--PRAISE THE LORD!! though some nights the initial getting to sleep is a dramatic production to put Broadway to shame! :) She is getting sooo big, and is quite alert when she is awake. Her eyes seem to take it all in, and everyone falls in love with her. (of course, who doesn't fall in love with a baby??) John has been done with his full teaching load for about 3 weeks now, and it is amazing the difference! He loves the computer work he is doing, and he loves having more time to do it!! :) I enjoy being "wife" and "mom" and "friend." I help John whenever I can and have learned more about html and f-stop and aperture than I can actually process :) but it is fun. I want to learn and understand, but just hearing it repeatedly will have to do for now (I think it helps John remember it when he has to tell me over and over again! :) HAHAHAhahaaaa!) 
Anyway...   Thanks for stopping by... 
and I hope you enjoy our memories ;)
we have fun making them!!

Courage is not the absence of fear, 
but rather the judgement that something else is more important.
