The World of L & K

It’s been a hard week for me. The girls have stayed on Central time and I have not. Last night I had trouble going to sleep so of course what happens at 5:30 this morning? K stands at the end of the crib and just starts crying. She never wakes up that early! I need to get some sleep so I can drive back home. Then again, L is determined to stay awhile. We didn’t make it to school today which made her a little mad but I dozed off and lost track of time. She got to go shopping tonight and Grandma bought her 2 MORE dress up outfits so that made her day.

I will try to get some pics posted, I’m having trouble deciding which ones to do.

Sorry for the lack of update. We are on “vacation.” This means we are in CO visiting Grandma and Grandpa. L has decided that we are staying forever. We went to school to see Grandma and she LOVED it! She talked to all the kids and even had lunch with some of them. They all thought she was amazing. Most of them couldn’t believe that she knew her alphabet, could read letters AND spell her name. I love that she loves to learn. She loves to spell words and knows not only her name but her sister’s as well.

She wants to go back tomorrow.We’ll see.

I sell Scentsy. Today I got some new testers and L picked one up and said “Can I smell the Jelly BBQ Sauce Mama?”

I read a blog daily called Cake Wrecks. Today while I was reading L came over and she said “Look, it’s carrots and babies!” Then she proceeded to do a little dance while singing over and over “carrots and babies!” Ah, the life of a three year old.

On the way home from church this was part of the conversation:

Daddy: “L, don’t argue.”

L: “I have to arguetive!”

For those of you who don’t know, K was born with a heart defect. Although she has had surgery to correct the problem she still could have health issues. To that end our family doctor has her take a medicine known as Synagis to prevent RSV. This is taken once a month during the RSV season and cost over $3000 a time. Currently our insurance is not covering them and with Daddy changing jobs next week we will be without insurance next month. We are hoping that our new insurance will cover them but until then we have to come up with around $5000 to pay January and February. I say this because we have a grant to cover $1500 of her January shot. We are asking family and friends to pray for us that we can get this figured out.

We are also asking people to vote for our story on US Banks Get Ahead in 2010 website. This is a chance for us to win $5000. That would cover the shots! Please vote for us and let others know. You can vote once a day until the end of the voting.

Thank you!

Today Daddy and the girls watched The Incredibles while I was cleaning. After lunch L grabbed her jammies and put them on and declared, “I’m a super!”

The girls love to get really close to the camera. These are the type of images that occur. They are usually a little blurry but look okay in black and white.

After dinner last light the girls and I were goofing off before L and I headed to church. K loves my phone. She’s even figured out how to unlock it. The top picture shows one of her favorite things to do in the world, talking on the phone. I hope this isn’t a sign of times to come! I’m not sure what’s going on in the second one but I see this in my house all the time. Surprisingly they hardly fight over things. L has become a pretty good sharer and when K has something that she wants she asks for it and usually K hands it over. Sometimes it’s scary just how smart they are.

I am sitting at the table while the girls are eating breakfast at their little table. It was really quite and then out of nowhere L goes “Choo, choo!” Scared me silly! Made K laugh out loud. These are the moments that make life good.
