My niece gave me a bad time about not updating our blog, so while both girls are miraculaously napping, I thought I'd take a minute to upload the latest picture I have taken.
John is busy chasing after cows here at the ranch, "up on the hill" in Fort Bidwell (which is far enough away it's usually an overnight trip), and in Tonapah, Nevada (which is definitely an overnighter, actually about 3!). Although we would prefer he didn't have to stay overnight, Makenna and I take advantage of it by having our own little slumber party, which in Mom terms means that Makenna gets to sleep in mom and dad's bed. We stayed up late watching "Dancing with the Stars" and already have our favorites! Now we'll have to see how the girls do tonight.
Maddee, of course, enjoys just hanging out. She loves her big sister as she smiles at Makenna all the time. She's a great sleeper and likes to be in bed and asleep by 8 p.m. and has been sleeping until 5 a.m., sometimes later. Of course, everytime I brag on her she proves me wrong and wakes up around 2 or 3, but I certainly am not complaining. She's a great baby!
The weather is beautiful right now. Makenna helped me wash our car this morning while Maddee supervised. In visiting with Kelsea yesterday, who is going to school in Laramie, she shared with me that it was snowing. We were "skyping" (a free way to make video calls) and I could see that she had several heavy layers of clothing on. I jokingly asked if it was cold and she told me it was snowing. Hee-hee, and people ask if I like living in California!
I'm slowly going back to work. A day or two here and there. Will be back full time on October 5. While I will miss the girls, we still have the world's best nannies, Tori and Hannah. They make going to work easier.
I hope to do a better job keeping the blog updated, at least monthly updates would be good. Thanks for reading.
