For the record I adore these girls. And dressing them in matching attire.
I'm not quite sure what it is about seeing these two girls who look absolutely nothing alike wearing something the connects them together.{ I swear they share the same parents!}
They both love to smile with their mouth open.
I wonder where they get that from!
I got to visit my new nephew on Saturday afternoon. I could have held him all night long. He's perfect. Miss Bailey is darling with him:
I had to take a photo my sis who looks AMAZING and IS amazing. She labored and delivered sans pain meds. On purpose. The funny thing is she told me I could do it, too. I didn't mean to be rude but I broke into a fit of laughter. I very well know that I could not nor would not. My threshold for pain-- be it ANY kind of pain: mental, emotional, and of course Physical, is a negative 3.
Anyways, back to my awesome sister. This poor thing had been having false labor for 5 weeks. No kidding. I don't know how many times she went to the hospital but suffice it to say we were all relieved she was in the hospital when he decided to come. Davis was born ON his due date, after all that. I think he is growing up to be a practical jokester. He's got a good start now.
And then I had to get one of Jake, SuperDad.
I have been feeling really badly about how cranky I've been the last few days. For some reason I have just woken up every morning completely void of patience. My, how my children have suffered this week!
Today I decided I was going to be a deliberate mother. I mean, I love to think I'm always deliberate, but if we are being honest here (which isn't that idea of this sort of thing, right?) a lot of times I'm also counting down the minutes until bed time and nap time. The time in which I can hear myself think. Anyway, I digress. So yes, I was going to be deliberate today. And what do you know, being deliberate actually bought me a 37 minute nap today. It really made the difference in our home today and the children appreciated the effort that was put into making their rainy Sunday afternoon a better-than-average one.
Yahoo.
After dinner we sat on the back porch enjoying home made Oreos. (We are out of the real ones, so a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do!)

Oh my goodness I love so many things about this post. Ruby and Savannah are ADORABLE! I can't believe how big Ruby is--she's not a baby anymore! Where did the last year go?! I'm with you on the pain meds. I did one labor (not by choice) pain free and I will definitely be requesting an epidural the next go round. OUCH!
And oh goodness I have had many mornings (especially lately) where I wake up feeling exactly how you wrote. It's like I wake up already exhausted and with zero patience. Not a good way to start the day! I like the idea of being a more deliberate mother. I am going to try that...most likely tomorrow--ha!
After being mostly out of town for a month, I'm catching up . . . cute nephlings (neice/nephew combo in Gibby-speak), I would sorely miss my amazing happiness if I didn't have an epidural, sorry about Savvy's toe, but I'm glad you're good now (sailing through the rest . . . :) ), would love to say I don't understand an ornery day with kids but I'm beginning not to understand the cute deliberate one, you kids look like they're having tons of fun, lucky for them to have you as a mom. Yeah, that wasn't a sentence. :) Also, what a great meeting an inventor story. So that's why I missed you at the shower. I should have texted you, but I didn't want to just assume you were coming. Silly me. Wow, summer!
