She's a Natural

A mom in the making.

Maybe we should get a girlier carrier.  :)

This and That

Elijah reading with Daisy

Me trying to nurse two at once.  Doesn't happen very often.

I don't know how I happened to NOT post this before.   It's so cute.

Daisy has HAIR!

I have never had a baby with HAIR before.  This is after a bath, when her fuzzy, little baby chick hair is sticking up. 

Look! I Figured Out the Moby Wrap!

Two Peas in a Pod

Just Because....

...I'm in love with them.  Yes, them AND their bracelets- which my mom made for them.

I wish I could take good pictures.  None of mine really show how sweet they are.

Because He Didn't Have Enough To Do......

taking care of me and seven children and some laundry and some meals and helping with nighttime feedings, Daniel took up a few projects for his "vacation."  He hung towels racks and other accessories in our new bathroom.  He spent much time finding and purchasing the right wood for the linen closet he is building in the bathroom.  He learned to make artisan-like bread from the amazingly easy book Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.  Delicious!!  He also decided that since we don't eat pork and he really wanted a good andouille sausage for gumbo, he'd learn to make it himself.  So he sort of half followed/half invented a way to make ground beef smoked sausage on our grill- that turned out beautifully.  Then he turned it all into gumbo in fresh bread bowls.  He is totally amazing!
