Isabele will be 3 on Sunday. She has been looking forward to her birthday for months. Monday night I happened to mention that we had Mom's Group on Tuesday and that she could go to the 2 year old class, or she could go to the 3 year old class, since she would be 3 on Sunday. Well, that was the best news to her. She laughed and squirmed and carried on for a good 5 minutes. She doesn't have a great grasp of time past yesterday, today and tomorrow, so it's been hard to try to explain to her how far away Sunday is.
She told me, while laying in bed Monday evening, "Mommy, I'm going to lay in my bed with my eyes open and not sleep. I have enough energy for tomorrow." She did make it awake a few extra minutes, and outlasted Titus.
Tuesday evening, she told me she was going to watch Titus go to sleep. That didn't work - she was asleep a good 10 minutes before Titus.
Now, with all her excitement, I guess I'd better get in gear and decide when we are having her cake.
Little tid-bits from the daily hum-drum of life ... snippets that would otherwise most likely be forgotten.

And Hot Water Is Flowing Through the System
We have hot water flowing through our radiant floor heat system! The new basement walls are painted!
Still need to second coat Isabele's new room and a couple of short block walls. And repaint the floors. Then I can really decorate!

Flowers from my 2011 Summer Garden
Black-eyed Susans - I loved this middle one with it's narrow mutiple rowed petals.
I'm pretty sure the white flowers in the background are a weed - but I liked the white. The fore-ground is pastel yarrow.
Old-fashion Hollyhocks.
Sunflower - a little bug-eaten, but still pretty.
Day lilly - I love these - so intricate to only last a day.
Purple bachelor button.
Titus and Isabele - presentable.
End of August 2011
Gotta love that Humidity! Isabele's got mega curls!
Pink cheeks from a day on the lake!
Swimming Proof
I would have never guessed that the kids would have made as much progress as they did swimming this summer. I am so glad I bought the bubbles and the "marshmallow sticks". They were well worth their money.
What a wonderful summer pass-time!
Sept 2011 Titus and Isabele Kayaking (in the rain)
Titus is 4 1/2 and Isabele is almost 3. Titus had been out a couple times on his own in front of my parents. He's pretty capable of getting his kayak where he wants it to go. This was Isabele's first time all on her own. She had been out once before with me holding onto the rope at the front. Both had been out several times sitting on my lap or Brian's lap, so they aren't totally inexperienced...
