Treasure Trove - April 11th

Since Jael got her own the other day I figured it is Kaylyn's turn.

Over the last couple weeks it has been so fascinationg to watch Kaylyn learn to crawl. Many things the girls learn to do seem to come on slowly but every day I have seen her get better at crawling. A week ago she was scooting herself across the hardwood on her belly and now she is crawling all over the place and enjoying the new freedom. I think she has always wanted to move and now she can!

Here's to learning new things, here's to Kaylyn motoring around: my treasure today is watching her.

Treasure Trove - April 10th

When Mike and I went to Mexico I assumed that the hotel would have conditioner. I was wrong. So when we went into a nearby town a few days into our stay we went to a store called 'Mega' and I was very excited to finally have conditioner. When we came home I went back to using my old stuff but when we moved last week it was the first stuff I found so now it sits there and reminds me of sunny days and beaches. I like it. I don't think I am the type of person who would usually say this but today my treasure is my conditioner :)

Treasure Trove - April 9th

Today I spent almost all my time away from home, but I am still sneaking this in on the right day!

We recently bought a house and we are removing the old carpet from upstairs and replacing it with hardwood. As with most renos the job seems to be getting more involved as we go along, there was particle board on the subfloor which had to be ripped up and replced with plywood. Today the plywood is all down and we are now ready for hardwood. We would not be able to get so much done without a bunch of help so you are all my treasure today! Dad, Mom, Tyler, Josh...Thank-you!

Treasure Trove - April 8th, 2011

I don't often spend time with only one of my girls because there are two of them and they are on pretty close schedules. However, both of them have not been feeling well this week and it is making Kaylyn have longer than usual naps while Jael is still taking regular naps. Both today and yesterday I have spent a couple hours with Jael playing in the sunshine and eating cheerios. Instead of being annoyed that they are not both sleeping together I want to treasure the time I get to spend with either of them so today my treasure is my time with Jael.

Treasure Trove - April 7th, 2011

If you are not a mother you won't quite understand. If you are a mother it requires no explanation.
Today my treasure is some good 'ol shower therapy.

Treasure Trove - April 6th, 2011

One of the blogs that I frequently visit is Ryckman Photography, twice a year she has a series she calls Ordinary to Extraordinary. Everyday for a month she finds some treasure in the ordinary and posts about it, with pictures of course. I have followed all the last three times she has done this with the last one just ending a few days ago. I was inspired to find my own treasure and post about it for a month, at the end I can look back and see the whole treasure trove. God has blessed me so much and I am so thankful to Him for filling my life with treasure.

Today my girls are 9 months old! It is so amazing to watch them grow and learn.Since the day they were born they have brought us so much joy, they are my treasure today and everyday. From sleepless nights with two tiny babies to finger food and learning to crawl life with them is always an adventure. I love them to bits.
