My girls are sitting so quietly on the couch watching Sesame Street. I love it. And today is a snow day. That was another wish of mine. I get to jump on a jet plane and fly to Dallas later and meet up with most of my family. Another great thing.
The girls took a bath this morning and played for about 30 minutes. It is always wonderful when they enjoy each other's company so much. I'm sure Campbell prays for snow days so she can play with her sister all day.
I think one of the best things in the world is clean kids that are content. It just makes me smile.

Whenever anyone (well, a lot of people) hear our last name for the first time (or second or third) they have this need to repeat it three times. Try it and you might find that inner rapper you always knew you were!
Take a boy from Cali and a girl from Minneeesooota (yah, know!) and you get three pretty crazy little girls! Welcome to our little family. Life is always crazy busy, but that is our new speed of things.
