Just thought I'd make a post in which I actually write a little, since I haven't done that in a while. If you're wondering which is which (speaking of the nicknames I used for my title), Harlie is Noodle Nose and Jordan is Doodle Bug, most days.
The girls are doing great, both growing at a rate that depresses me completely, but thrills me at the same time. Harlie is becoming her own little "woman" so quickly. I have to scold her quite often for "reading" too late, and she has the sweetest, cutest, smartest things to say all the time. She never stops talking (still), just like her mommy. It's like talking to an adult sometimes.
Today she reminded me that, "One time you took away my books because you were irritated with me." It's true, and it cracks me up that she knows the word irritated! She's been attending Sunday School, and I'm not sure how she does once she's in there, because I don't observe, but I believe she's doing pretty well. I'm proud of what a big girl she's becoming.
Jordan is hitting that sweet smiley happy stage, and we're loving it. Just today she was laughing at me for some goofy thing I was doing, which is great, because with me as a mom, it's pretty much just goofiness. She's definitely eating well, and it shows, but I absolutely love a fat baby. She's been sleeping through the night for almost a month now, and it has been so nice for us. She's still the best baby ever, and I could easily have ten more of her right now (okay maybe just five). She does NOT like the heat, however, so she's had a hard time falling asleep during nap times the past few days, with what we in Johnstown call a heatwave. She finally took a 4 hour nap today when I stripped her down to just her diaper and sat her in the living room with the fan blowing. Poor kiddo!
As for Mikey and me, we're doing well. He's finishing up the school year (still subbing) and we're hoping something opens up for next year, but we know it's not a guarantee. I'm still working an awful lot between my photography and the church, but I'm finding a balance with the home business and spending time with the kids, and still accomplishing my household "chores". I'm thinking having two kids isn't really any harder, it's just busier, and even more fulfilling. We've got a few vacations planned for the summer, and we're hoping to camp a little bit; family quality time is becoming more and more important to us.
Well, I'm off to relax a bit before bed. Have a great weekend - we'll be working a wedding on Saturday, spending time with family Sunday and Monday, and hopefully planting the garden at some point!

Love those rolls! _____________________
I swear she picked this outfit out herself, and she never stopped dancing in the skirt. She cried when she had to take it off.
