My new girl.



I know, I know. My mom told me, not to put naked pictures of my daughters on the Internet and I will take it off. I just had to show everyone really quick. Kate is coming out of her surgery so well. Today was the first day, honestly, in her whole 18 months that she has woken up happy. She was laughing, playing on our bed, and most importantly not whining! Her nose has been running really bad still, which was to be expected, but today, John salined her and it hasn't run since. Then in the evening, I caved and nursed her (I hadn't done it since Monday), but she was crying and trying to unzip my jacket (I know, gross) but I was in pain, so I figured I would give her a little. She didn't take much, but the best part was that she was breathing through her nose while she was nursing. That has NEVER happened. She usually has to stop and take a breath. So nursing her ended up to be a good thing, because I experienced something I hadn't before.
Now the picture. John will every once in a while take a shower with the kids (I don't care if you think it's weird, it gives me a break:)), but Kate will NEVER go it. She screams and arches her back and all the works. Yesterday she took one with him and all of a sudden loves it. Today, as he was getting ready to go to the Angels game, he was in the shower and Kate was trying to take her clothes off and get in. This is a picture of her in the shower by herself because she didn't want to go out. She is a new kid. Thank God.
Now the artwork. This is how all Hannah's pictures come home from school. I'm starting to get a little concerned. Everything is always black or dark blue. I tell her she has anger in her artwork.

Not weird at all, they are babies. Don will still take showers with our kids too. They sometimes just look but it is a nice quick bath that us moms aren't giving.

The "new and improved" Katie!!!! Hannah's artwork??? She just likes lots of color and when you mix it, it's dark. She loves it, and that's what counts. Love you.
