We're SO glad when Daddy comes home!It was just one of those days. Went to bed early, work up early - 5:30, exercised, ate well, read scriptures BEFORE everyone was up, got all my housework done, played hard with those babies, cooked great meals, even got a brief nap...it was AWESOME! These days are so rare, something always comes up, but today....boy it felt great! Amelia insisted on being a bunny all day..very cute, she loves music...I'll have to get on teaching her soon. She is also learning to be such a big helper. She has several chores that she does, but really she helps me with all the housework. Tuesdays are "Floor" days at my house which means cleaning, shaking, scrubbing, vacuuming, all floors/rugs in the house - she was right with me the whole time, rag in hand...or stroller in hand (that's her pretend vacuum) and she just beams when we're all done. She also makes her bed in the morning and unloads the silverware from the dishwasher regularly, I've seen her really take pride in "HER jobs". She and Sam both enjoy a rousing game of "laundry locomotive", which is after we get laundry done, they both get rides in the laundry basket, which is fun for them, and a real workout for me, but a girl's gotta have fun:)
1/2 Marathon update - blisters are healing, I got new shoes, so NEW blisters are forming. Heidi and I did about 10 or 11 miles Saturday, this Saturday we'll be doing 13, just to truly feel prepared...it's only 3 weeks away!! Exciting!
Garden update - lot's of things sprouting peas, beans, lettuces....now we're just trying to nail down a plan for the rest of the yard. We haven't seen the yard in the summer...or spring for that matter, so it's hard to decide what to plant where...any suggestions?
Well, better prep for Sunday's sharing time - also open to suggestions!!

Janelle -
Thank you for blogging - I love to have this forum to check in on you and the little ones. They're so adorable, and I really enjoy reading your notes (you and I always had a similar way of seeing things, huh?). Glads things are going well.
Lots of hugs for everyone,
