Lydia's 3!

I can't believe you're 3 already, Lydster! You've brought so much joy to our lives with your tender heart and your Miss Personality ways.

Baby Love

I just had to post this sweet clip of Elise and some of her precious giggles. Her laugh is just infectious and her sister's love to make her giggle.

Also, on this day she had her first taste of ice cream. Even though it was mint chocolate chip, she seemed to love it. She knows a good thing when she tastes it!

My Little Chatterbox

I was shopping with the Lydster today and we were in the market for a leotard. As we approached the store, she asked me, "Is this where they have the tardoleas?" What a kid! Also, we have been working on Emily and Grace's first memory verse for school. It's quite a whopper. While shopping with Lydia for our "tardoleas" she said, "I know...rebuking, correcting." Maybe her days are full of both and that makes it easier for her to remember. Finally, tonight as we were driving to "nastics" we were stopped at a red light. She instructed Doug to get going, because the light was green. She has also asked me why I have green lips. What can I say, she's the 3rd child. All this to say that I can't believe that 1 year ago she hardly spoke. Now at almost 3 years old, as Lydia once said, "I have a lot of words in my mouth."
