a schedule

In case anyone was wondering...Livie has not been accident free this past month...she got stung by a wasp just a few days after I blogged about all her accidents.  Seriously child!   

Onto this blog post...after 3 and half years of no schedule, I guess it's about time me and the girls got a little more disciplined with our time.  And so this September has been the start of a schedule for us.  It's not too jam packed, but it's definitely enough for us.  

Basically it consists of Livie in preschool 2 mornings a week (which she LOVES), Community Bible Study another morning  a week, and then Chad and I working out together 3 evenings or mornings a week.  It doesn't seem like much when I write it out...but for this home-body ;)...it is stretching me.  Stretching me to let go of my babies a little...re-prioritizing...and to be out the door before 8:30 am!  We haven't been late anywhere yet ;).  So far, all is going well...

Here's pictures from the past month...

Forgot to put this one in when I was blogging about the TV show...my sister-in-laws and I getting ready for some pictures for the show one evening :)...love these girls.

Oh Emma...potty training is progressing SLOWLY, but we're sticking with it!

The girls at the Hanna City Heritage Days parade...

Mercy having a contented moment at about 6 weeks...

Emma gave up her paci this past month (yes, this girl has been going through a lot of transitions!).  She seems so much more grown up without it now and just talks non-stop.  Love her.

Mercy had a rough week at about 6 weeks...nothing seemed to help :(...but since then, she's been great.

Emma has been learning to play by herself while Livie is in pre-school...she was kind of lost the first few days, but now I think she kind of likes having all the toys to herself for a couple hours :).

The girls enjoying some treats on these last few days of summer...

Happy baby!

The girls playing "flower shop" in the yard :)...

Trying on mommy's shoes...

 

2 month shots...not fun!

Biggest and littlest...

Morton Pumpkin Festival parade...  Of the girls, Liv was the one anxious to get as much candy as possible and put it in her bag.  Emma just wanted to eat what candy she had as soon as she got it.  Just another way these two are so different!

So, so long Summer!  We're so excited for fall even if it means our schedule is fuller than normal :).
