A bit here and a bit there.

(This post refers to the first 2 weeks of November. )

Not much of a picture week, but some great things to remember.


Elyse: She likes me to snuggle by her at night "for 1 minute". So the other night I was snuggling by her and Payton was asleep already. She closed her eyes for a few seconds then opened them and says, "mom, it's so hard to make the sun come up." Life is amazing when your 3 and the sun rises and falls around you.


Payton: Currently she is into riddles. The other night she was making up riddles about our family members. Here is my favorite. "She is the best piano teacher ever!, she likes to snuggle me, she makes breakfast, and lunch, and dinner, who is it?" She also lost her top tooth, I'll have to get a picture of that one posted. It's so cute her last two teeth she had our friend and neighbor Nik Schwartz pull them. All last week she kept saying "it's a good thing Nik is coming over on Friday because this tooth is loose" How funny is that? No he has no gimmick, no tricks, he is just Nik and can do it! I love having such nice young men in our ward.

Caia: HHMMMM she is 9. Past the cute saying stage but dabbling in the art of sarcasm, and giving her mom the cold shoulder when we strongly disagree. Luckily not good enough at it that when I smother her with attention for it she cracks a smile and life is back to normal. She has such great friends, she and Emma Clark have been friends since they were 1! and Addi is such a cutie too. They are currently playing Little Women at recess. She is a great reader, Emma read Little Women and now Caia is working on it. I think I had better borrow it next and read it. She is getting ready for a Christmas Peter Pan where she is an Indian Dancer with her Celtic group.
