Just-A-Swing'n

I was cleaning out Morgan's closet Friday morning and decided to go ahead and put the swing together so that it would store better. When she saw it, she decided that she needed to swing...and insisted on being belted in with the music & mobile on! I know she still meets the weight requirements, but I'm thinking she's a bit over on the height!! When she finally decided to get out, she put her baby in the swing...which was pretty cute. I was able to pack the swing away later without her catching me, but she still asks about it...I'm hoping she doesn't venture into her closet or there will for sure be a nasty tantrum to follow!

With MY Butterfly, who needs real ones?

"Cheese, Daddy!"

This one's just my size!

Sharing with Emily, aren't they adorable?

All of the gym rats' kids...Seth, Emily, Brooks, and Morgan!

Nith!

Morgan was petting the "nith" dinosaur!

Morgan and the boys

Here, Morgan is holding Seth's hand...that's Brooks' brother. He was so sweet, he held his finger out for her to hold onto and led her up the stairs to the lookout!

Here's the gym rats...or babies of, anyway. Their mom is my gym partner that pushes me to get my butt in gear!

MOPS day at the Botanical Garden

Morgan is holding Brooks' hand, Brooks is her friend from the gym daycare.

Cheesy, girl!

Morgan and Emily are sharing a pose...Emily is our friend from MOPS and the gym.

Still a cheesy girl!

Enjoying the Sun

Just Us Girls

This is the best I could do with Morgan's gaze. She was saying "cheese", just not looking at the camera!

Since I'm usually the one behind the camera, I decided to turn it around today...now maybe the kids will have a record of what I look like!

Mom! By Sally Krempasky

I read this in a magazine and had to share it...all of you MOMS will definitely relate.

Every time I'd sit
on the toilet a bit
my little one would always shout
"MOM!"

Or pick up the phone
to dial someone's home
you could guarantee I'd hear "MOM!"

From the naps where I've been awakened
to the showers I've taken
they've always been interrupted with
"MOM!"

Just once I'd be glad
if they'd just shout "DAD!"
instead, they always shout "MOM!"
