It's been a long time since I've done a day in the life blog entry. In fact, it's been almost a year since the last one! This is my way of documenting my family's life in tribute of our average days and average adventures. Enjoy :-)


Yes, that's right. No one in our house woke up before 9:45am. Amazing!


Look at that blue sky and those blooming trees next door!


Abbie eats breakfast with Daddy. Kix, banana, and cheese. This is the third day in a row we've given Abbie dairy products (cheese, butter, chocolate) WITHOUT INCIDENT! Do we dare to believe that she's grown out of her milk allergy?


Back in bed to nurse Karis.


Full tummy = happy baby!


10:30am: Matt leaves for work and the girls watch Seasame Street. You'll notice that our living room is a disaster, Abbie is wearing underpants as a hat, and Karis is wondering what in the world is going on. This is pretty much our life on a daily basis! During this time I consider washing dishes, doing my hair, or eating breakfast. Breakfast wins out.


Much of my morning consists of changing diapers. Two in cloth is...challenging.


I couldn't resist uploading this one as well :-)


1:00pm: Ready to go! Stop #1: the salon to get my monkey eyebrows waxed (finally!) Stop #2: Pet shelter to visit our friend Anna and the new kittens they just got.


We go to visit our friend Anna, who works at the Jessamine County pet rescue center. Abbie LOVES the cats, but is not so fond of the barking dogs. Would have taken more pictures, but Karis was crying and needed to be held!

2:30pm--Lunch for Abbie and Karis and then...naptime. Glorious, glorious naptime!


I debate the pros and cons of doing homework against the pros and cons of napping with the kids. Ok, ok, I think--I'll nap for an hour. Then suddenly my phone is ringing--it's Matt saying he's on his way home. It's 5:00. D'oh!


Sorry kiddo--it's 5:45, you need to wake up!


Everything's better when Daddy comes home. Abbie and Matt play while Karis finishes her nap and I make dinner.


6:40pm: Dinner is ready. Peanut chicken satay with onions and rice. Pretty good, even without the fish sauce.

After dinner pics:






We decide to take a walk after dinner. It's still sweatshirt weather, but spring is everywhere!




We still like each other :-)


8:00pm: I put Abbie to bed while Matt works out. Goodnight, Moon. Goodnight, Abbie :-) Then I nurse Karis and she falls asleep, too.

Other plans tonight include washing the huge pile of dishes, reading for class, and pouring myself into bed around 1am.
