Another great for us. We have had a most turing week. Monday was Behtany's checkup, including shots. Tuesday was normal. Wednesday we watched a set of 5yr old twins for 12hours, thursday Anna had a 4hour play date with some friends. Now Friday is fannly a slower day but Russ will be gone most of the evening with the Missionaries. He also has to work tomarrow for a few hours. Hopefully his need to go in on weekends will end soon since they have ordered him a laptop that he can take home instead of going into the office for any on call or weekend work. I look forward to that.
Anna was so cute today when she told me that she thinks Bethany has exciting dreams. :)
We had a friend over that has painted her finger and tow nails and that just fasinated Leah.
As for miss Bethany, she started laughing today. Anna was making silly faces at her and she would let out little laughs. It was oh so sweet.

Today has been a long day in my life. We had a VERY busy weekend with a full saturday and a long sunday. The great thing about sunday was that it was long due to a baptism. :) A wonderful gentleman was baptised in the Susquahaanna River. As a result of 2 long days the girls were a bit too tired and cranky all day. But such is life.
We had Bethany's 2month checkup. She weighs 10lbs 12oz and is 23 1/2in. long. She is doing great and other then a yucky diaper rash is 100% healthy.
I have given up potty training Leah. She showes so many signs of being ready but I do not have the temperment for it right now. Bethany is a good sleeper but my nights are still fractured. I hope to start up again after Leah turns 3.
Now for Anna's "helper" story. Our sweet and willful Leah likes to feel very free, a.k.a. no clothes. So at night we put her in a sipper set of jamies backward so she can't get out of it. A few nights ago we hear Anna exlamation that Leah is naked. Yikes. While Russ is re-dressing her I ask Anna how Leah got naked. After a brief guilty look from her I ask if she helped. Then, in the most "no duh" voice she could manage she says "well yeah, she couldn't do it by herself" That's our Anna, always thinking of others. :)

I have some time now. All the kids are asleep. :)
So not much else is going on here. I am just sssoooo busy with the girls. Anna is quickly learning how to use the computer, and loving it. Russ downloaded a bunch of kid games. She is CONSTANTLY asking to play them. :)
Leah's potty training continues. She has showen that she is capeable she is just not motivated yet. I find that she is really excited about wearing underware, with monkeys on it and she HATES being wet. So I am hoping that after a day or 2 of yucky wet pants she will be motivated enough to let me know when she wants to "go". Laundry machine here I come. :)
Bethany is the CUTEST thing in the world. She is smiling at us all day and is just so precious. She has had some stomoch aches seemingly related to a bunch of gwackamoli I ate the other day, but other then that is a happy little baby. She'll be 2mos on Sunday June 25th.
And that's what my life has been for today.

Hello family & friends. I got this idea from Eric and though this would be the perfect way to keep everyone up on what our little but growing family is up to.
Anna
Anna is 4 now and smart as can be. She loves to play "Mommy" especially since Bethany has come.
This morning she grabbed a toy ligh saber and informed me that it was her sword of of truth that she was using to fight her daily battles. :)
I plan on starting her with kidergarden school materials in the fall. She is too young for public school but we can homeschool since she is ready.
Leah
Leah is 2 3/4. We are working on potty training. I'll let you know how it gowes.
Other then that she is busy learning to be a good helper and singing ALL THE TIME. She's got an amazing musical abilit and memorizes and repeats melodies after hearing them only one time.
She is adjusting well to Bethany and loves to kiss her, maybe a bit too much. :)
Bethany
She is nearing 2months old. That is so amazing to me. She can smile and is doing more and more each day. She has got great head controll for her age. She is a great sleeper at night, thank heavens. I don't watch the exact time that she sleeps but I know I'm only feeding her twice during the night.
Me & Russ
We are busy as can be with babies/wrok/church. You already know about the babies
Work is same old sam old.
The most exciting thing is with Church. Most of you know that Russ has been serving as the Ward Mission Leader for the past year. Well we are having alot of new convert baptisims lately. This keeps us busy since Russ is in charge of filling the font as well as conducting the services. It is the greateast thing for a WML to be busy with. :)
Well that's all that's up with us now, I"ll try and add an entry every week.
