These lovely girls!  There has been much scootering, jam making, Barbie playing, singing, dancing, hair styling, board game playing, and dog snuggling as of late.  This photo is a sneak peak from the family photo shoot we had in early August.

I'm not sure who is happier to see who at lunchtime.  This is a common sight on workdays. :)

These two boys!  I tried to get a photo of them together tonight at bedtime.  Do you think they could both be still at the same time?  I don't like to use the flash on my camera so I tend to end up with blurry photos from time to time.  Big and little obviously love each and at certain angles you can really see how alike they sometimes look.

I have not been sleeping well.  At all.  It's been going on about 2 weeks now and I am so tired.  Two nights ago I finally managed to fall asleep before 4:30a.m.  I was awake for a couple of hours in the middle of the night but managed to be conscious the next morning as Dwayne was heading out the door for work.  I remained upright all day thanks to copious amounts of caffeine and the adrenaline rush that comes with having a 3 year old in the house.  Yesterday was one of those "fake it 'til you make it" sort of days and I decided that make-up was in order so I could at least attempt to fool myself if I caught my reflection during the day - at least I'd look awake, and maybe it would translate into feeling awake.  It was worth a shot anyway...  The girls always like it when I wear make-up as well.  I don't do it often so they notice right away!
