FLASHFORWARD

The girls have really been having fun playing together now that Gabriella is getting older. Of course, all we hear is "No Gabby" coming from Caroline's mouth as Gabriella is most interested in anything that her big sister is playing with. Caroline has a lot of patience with her and is so good to her. The other day Gabriella was standing at the coffee table and Caroline touched her back and said "I hold her mommy and keep her safe." So sweet - I know that she will always keep a watchful eye on her baby sister (just as Amy did to me). I love the relationship that they are developing.

Here is a great pic of them the other night - they love to "drive" around the house giggling and crashing into things. It is a scary thought that 13 years from now this will be real, in a real car, and Junior and I will be so worried. For now we will enjoy their innocence and do our best to keep them safe.

Gabriella just got her two top front teeth in the last few weeks - prior to that she got her two top eye teeth but the very front ones were not in yet - she looked like a vampire. She now has 6 teeth and is using them to her advantage. We found an array of bit marks on her crib last night. We think she is such a good girl and she will be away and stay in there playing - little did we know that she was eating her crib - little monster!

Caroline started soccer last Sunday and it was so cute. The won't have "games" but they will learn the rules and skills for soccer and have some play games. She will get her team t-shirt in the next few weeks and I'll post a picture. She is really good with the soccer ball - that is why we put her in it, she stays right on the ball and can dribble it for a long run in the grass. She also is pretty good at kicking.

Nothing else new with us - just working, enjoying the girls, and having a great time with Junior's mom here.

Talk soon!
