sister love

I just love watching my two girls interact with each other. They snuggle together in bed at night, and get so excited to see each other in the morning. "hi sissy!" says Millie, "hi Millie!" says Penelope every morning. Penelope is busy teaching her sister to identify letters and sounds, and Millie surprises me every day with the new things she knows.

Today Penelope had to make a little trip to Children's Hospital for an ongoing UTI, poor gal, but she is such a trooper and earned two jewels in the process (when she gets 20 the jewel fairy brings something special!). The Hospital is actually a beautiful place, so colorful and bright. Why can't grown-up hospitals look like that?

Great Grandpa Brown sent me and Millie birthday cards today--it was so thoughtful of him!! Penelope asked why SHE didn't get a birthday card, and I had to remind her that it wasn't her birthday! Millie LOVED her card and carried it all around with her. Thank you Great Grandad!!


Penelope loved the paintings on the wall... here she is with her favorite animal, the elephant!

It was really great to have my mother along to help when the girls got squirrly. i'm so lucky, hanging out with her makes even waiting for a very late doctor fun! thank you mommy!!

Little Millie seems to have an affection for giraffes--"raf" she calls them. She went up to the giraffe and waited for me to take a picture! She is such a ham.

Sister Love. Cuddling at nighttime.
