Bethie's New Trick

Bethie is getting to be really good at mimicry, and we do a lot of animal noises. Her first words other than "mama" and "dada" were "quack, quack", and today this is what she said:

She is just such a smart little girl, and so much fun to be around. She giggles at everything, and has a very sunny disposition. Jeff and I were talking today, and neither one of us realized how much fun we would have being parents. There are definitely some tough days and some days when we're worn out and tired, but even then, you can't help but look at Bethie and smile. We are so blessed, and so thankful for Bethie and for each other.

Happy Father's Day!

Despite our plans to the contrary, Jeff didn't have the best Father's Day. Bethie and I had been sick for the week prior, and then Jeff started getting sick on Saturday. We didn't get to go do all the fun things we had planned, but we did manage to have a little fun between feeling poorly. Here, Jeff is tickling Bethie, and I caught her mid-giggle. :-) Happy Father's Day to Jeff anyway. We are so lucky to have him!

Musically Inclined

We're going through another bout of cold with fever here, so Bethie has been under the weather for a few days. We spent last weekend in the pool, and I think it may have just been too much for her. So, we've had a few sleepless nights sitting in the rocker or on the couch, but I think we're on the mend today. Bethie has been serenading me!
