Babysitting Sophia

This week we are lucky enough to be babysitting Sophia, Tanner's bestfriend. Her Mom Lillie (my bestfriend), went to New York this week, so Tanner gets to play with Sophie for 3 whole days. It works out well, since last Fall, I went to New York and she watched Tanner for me. It's so nice to have good friends. Before Kate was born, we also used to switch kids every weekend, one of us would take Fri. night, the other Sat. night, so we could go on dates with our husbands. I miss those days. Now I get to fork out 6 bucks an hour for a sitter.

Anyhow, Tanner and Sophia get so excited to see each other in the morning...they squeal, jump up and down and give each other hugs. They play well for a couple of hours, then they fight/make-up (this happens throughout the day), Sophie naps, and then they get excited all over again to see each other when she wakes up. Kate also loves it, because Sophie gives her attention and is really sweet with her.

Here are a few pictures from yesterday and today.

Blogger Award

I know. Does it ever stop?! Lol. Steffie B. gave me this award and I was so flattered! I have to admit I was caught with my mouth open. Even for me. To be in the company of the great Steffie B. is quite an honor. Thank you Steffie. Although I don't feel I am nearly as awesome as you or the girls I look up to and admire. I am so flattered to be in the company of such great incredible women. You are all so inspirational to me. I love you all so much.

To be given this award I guess you need to: This award goes to bloggers “who effortlessly weave their way in and out of the blogosphere, leaving friendly trails and smiles,happily making new friends along the way. They don’t limit their visits to only the rich and successful, but spend some time to say hello to new blogs as well. They are the ones who engage others in meaningful conversations, refusing to let it end at a mere hello - all the while fostering a sense of closeness and friendship.”

I nominate my all time fav "the crazy one," "double lucky" and "dragon fly and lady bugs",and the one eye'd beauty. See, you're not forgotten!
