We tried to Skype, but got no answer. Phoebe is just a bit excited about going to see Nana and Clock tomorrow! She was more subdued in the video, but was practically levitating when saying it just a few minutes before.
Remember this? It’s finished!

My original plan was to mod podge the turquoise paper onto it. That proved to be too big of a job for mod podge, so I ended up buying some paint in a really pretty, similar color! I also had some scrapbook paper from Michael’s, but since it was going under glass, no mod podge was needed! So now I need to find another use for all of the mod podge I bought. I think I can do it! 
I love how this desk turned out! Unfortunately, the desk wouldn’t fit through the door to the craft room without taking the hinges off. So instead of being in the craft room, it is currently going to hang out in the rec room right outside of the craft room.
Tonight Phoebe yelled very loudly and excitedly, “ROLL TIDE!” and I said, “No, we don’t say Roll Tide! We say Hotty Toddy!” She thought for a second and said, “No I say Roll Tide.” Then she asked me, “Mama, what do you say?” And I told her, “I say Hotty Toddy.” She said, “No you say War Eagle!” I told her, “No I do not say Roll Tide or War Eagle, but I do say Hotty Toddy.” Then Rick came in and tried to get her to say Go Dogs! She eventually said both Hotty Toddy and Go Dogs, but I don’t think I’ve convinced her to give up the Roll Tide yet.
So yes, my daughter is not 3 yet and this state is already brainwashing her that you are either Alabama or Auburn. There is no third option. We will have to work harder at convincing her otherwise.
Sophie had her 15 month check two weeks ago! I’m way behind on posting her stats. I have to post them here so that when I fill out their baby books I have a reference somewhere. .
Weight – 27.5 lbs.
Height – 32.25 inches.
Head circumference – 46.7 cm.
She’s growing well and doing everything she should be! While there she was diagnosed with a double ear infection. We’re still fighting it in one of her ears. So that’s no fun.
She’s been walking for a month now! I have a video somewhere that I need to upload and post. I’ll get to it soon!
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day lists of things to do before I can sit down and relax for a few minutes at night. So easy that I often forget that spending time with Phoebe and Sophie while they are awake is really the most important thing I can do. Last night Phoebe asked me to go sit in Daddy’s rocking chair with her (the recliner). I had already sat in the recliner with them for a few moments and was hoping to do the dishes real quick, so I told her no. Then Sophie toddles into the kitchen and starts pulling on my skirt and I realized that taking a longer moment to sit with them was way more important than the dishes at that time. So we all three sat in Daddy’s rocking chair for a little while. After a minute they both wanted down to do their own thing again. I tried to take in the moment as much as possible because I know soon they will not want to sit with me in a rocking chair anymore.
