Time with Pops & MiMi

April 29, 2015 by Aliesha

A couple of weeks ago, Vera and Cordelia got to go on a special trip to Pops and MiMi’s house all by themselves!  This was the first time they have stayed with Pops and MiMi for four nights in a row!  They weren’t homesick at ALL and they had an absolute blast the entire time!

I heard many stories about swimming at an indoor pool, visiting a pet store, going shoe shopping, baking cookies, playing with play dough, reading book after book, painting with watercolors, making collages, getting ice cream, snuggling, and so many more fun activities!  It was a blessing to know they were having such a wonderful time all week.

At the end of the week, Tad, Jude, and I went up to join them for the weekend.  We had fun playing at the park and having a picnic, as well as enjoying delicious food and lots of good talks.

Here are some pictures from the weekend while we were there!

This next picture might be my favorite picture of Jude EVER!

We always try to get a good picture of everyone, but certain people don’t always cooperate!  (Lookin’ at you this time, CC!)

So thankful for the precious memories our girls made with Pops and MiMi, and for the memories we made as well later in the weekend!

Vera and Cordelia have been practicing a knock-knock joke!  We think they’re pretty funny!

Sharing Is Caring

March 18, 2015 by Aliesha

Sunday Vera had a slight sore throat (she was fine by mid-morning), so I asked Tad to pick up some popsicles on the way home from church.  I gave them to the girls, but Jude was down from the table and I didn’t think he needed a whole popsicle anyway!

Tad told me to come into the kitchen because Cordelia was sharing her popsicle with Jude.

She’d let him have a lick…

…then she’d wipe his mouth…

…let him have a drink of water…

…and repeat!

Don’t worry; she still got to enjoy most of it herself.

And Vera enjoyed hers too!  (Glad she wasn’t in the mood to share, since she would have been sharing her germs!)

So sweet to see sibling interactions like this!
