My Friend stopped in at one of Miss Picky's Home Games this fall. She was able to grab a few pictures of our beautiful Cheerleader.

But, I guess she is.
And she is a beautiful girl.
Here, the school photographer snapped a photo of the Seniors on the School Football Squad.

WOOTS on Wednesday!
This week . . . well, I'm feeling kinda sad. This is my last day of Baby Leave. *SIGH*.
How am I going to handle not being able to snuggle my babies when I feel like it????
BIG SIGH.
So, I need to look extra hard to find some WOOTS.
* How about having a company that actually pays at least some of my baby leave!
* Cuddles with both My Two Girls.
* Miss Mia's talking - it's amazing how complex her sentences are at this point. I sometimes forget that the conversation I'm having is with my 2 1/2 year old!
* My parents and Miss Picky made it safely home from their short trip to visit family in Michigan.
* Miz Aise's giggles. They are beyond cute. And they are happening more and more frequently, to include during the night! It is so fun to wake up to giggles!

Closing the Door
The last few hours of 2010 are quickly ticking away. I'm currently tucked in bed with my Little One while she decides if she IS going to sleep, or if she may wake up and want a snack.
Waiting for her to make this decision, I let my mind wander and realize that, last New Years at this time, we were still praying we would have more children in our life. How neat to know that our prayers were answered with such a perfect gift!
I continue to wander and think of everything that has happened this past year . . . I lost a friend - one of the best people to ever step on this planet. I am still of the opinion that his prayers helped when I was using fertility treatments. To go even further, I think he's my little Miz Aise's guardian angel. We lost family members - one of the oldest and the very youngest. My heart still aches each time I think of my little cousin's passing. I am comforted in knowing my Great Uncle Earl is there with her.
Miss Mia . . . . let's see . . . .
~ is going potty without accidents. I was so worried with how she would do when Miz Aise came and she had to share the spot-light. We had a few bumps (and still do), but nothing like what I thought. Yah, we took a step or two back in potty training, when she would tell us it was Aise or Hansy who needed to go potty, but that trend quickly ended. And yes, she'll still purposely do something forbidden to get our attention, but those are fewer and fewer. She makes up by being so cuddly with her sister and so protective of her.
~ is getting so vocal. It's amazing at how many words she now knows as well as how complex her sentences are becoming. I love that she uses please, thank you, excuse me and I'm sorry. Yesterday, she complimented a cashier at Lowe's by telling her she was wearing pretty make up. It doesn't get much cuter than that - and it was so wonderful seeing the smile on that cashiers face. She couldn't believe Miss Mia was only 2 - and that Miss Mia responded with the correct answer when she asked her her age.
~ is able to do split jumps just like Miss Picky. She dances up a storm whenever music comes on. She has perfected her summersalt, does bridges and kicks. Now, she walks through stores doing cheerleading moves - again, just like Miss Picky.
Miz Aise . . . hmmm . . . her list is a little short . . .
~ is starting to get on a schedule for sleeping and eating.
~ is cooing and smiling. She also started laughing on Christmas Day.
~ favors Miss Mia - her first smile was for her big Sister. Her eyes follow Miss Mia everywhere. She also coos more and gets all excited when hearing her sister's voice.
~ is currently wearing size 0-3 clothing and size 1 diapers while eating approx 4 oz milk at each feeding. She doesn't like taking a bottle from me, preferring natural feeding, but she does accept it from every one else. She has also started using the binky this last week instead of comfort nursing (I hate using binkies, but at the same time, I am sooo glad she's started that as she would "nurse" for 1/2 hr or longer and then would start freaking out if I would remove her!)
The Home . . . Hmmmm . . . .
~ We have my sewing room together and I've been using it for projects. Have orders for 3 quilts. Made 12 pillowcases for the 1 Million Pillowcase Challenge (in Russ' honor). My friend Christine gave me some adorable material - and those pillowcases will be in Lainey's honor.
~ Our sunroom was enjoyed throughout the entire year. It has become one of Miss Mia's favorite rooms and it shows as most of her toys are stashed there. I do still have to stucco the one wall, but it's complete but for that.
~ Outside, I didn't get much accomplished due to the extremely hot days and pregnancy . . . but we did plant some fruit trees. I'm also planning to continue planting a garden, even if only to show the girls the enjoyment of watching something grow from seemingly nothing.
And, me . . .
~ My goal last year was to get pregnant. I did accomplish that! YAH!
~ The other half of my goal was to continue the weight loss. I was doing great, getting into size 8s the week I got pregnant. Now, my goal is to get back on the weight loss train. I've been working out with the Wii and dancing with Miss Mia. I can feel it - especially the days after doing a lot of lifting her! The scale isn't showing a change, but I'm having fun and moving, so that's what counts.
For 2011 . . . .
~ I hope to continue improving myself through learning . . . .
~ I want to focus on becoming a better Mom to my two girls. I want them to have fun childhoods where they were free to learn and be themselves - as well as to grow up normal, well-adjusted girls.
~ Physically, I want to keep working out and toward my goal weight. I hope to defy my PCOS and stay med-free. I will be starting my cinnamon supplements again.
Miz Aise has decided she needs her beauty sleep, so I'm going to tuck her into her cradle and snuggle in my own bed.
Happy New Years!

WOOTS on Wednesday!
Miss Mia has been working on potty training for awhile now. We've not really pushed her, especially as we knew there would be some regression when Miz Aise arrived. BUT - we've been dealing with awesomeness lately. When playing with Miss Picky, Miss Mia has stopped and run to the potty. When playing in her house, she yelled "POTTY!" at the top of her lungs and ran to the potty. Sunday, I went shopping with Mom and Miss Picky. We took both girls. Miss Mia wanted big girl undies, but we decided on a pull-up. She didn't go potty while we were out. As soon as she got home, while I was unbundling Miz Aise, Mia left the living room. I thought she'd gone to her room to grab a book for her nap. Nope. The Hubby came in a few seconds later all excited (good gravy, can you believe we are celebrating bowel movements???) "Mia is in the bathroom on the potty! She was already there when I decided to check on her! AND - she's going poopy!"
I must say - that is a WOOT!
Mom found the Monkey Face Cookie recipe!
WOOT!
The hubby gave me the opportunity to work in my sewing room this past week where I was able to finish some Christmas gifts, to include three scarves, three pair of baby legs and Miz Aise's Froggie Rag Quilt. I was also able to start on my friend's quilt and matching burp clothes!
WOOT!
Scored at Lowe's - found a round rug that matches my new sun room furniture. Original price: $100. Purchase Price: $10.
WOOT!
Christmas is this weekend!

Catchin' Up
With everything going on, I've been neglecting my blogging. So, I'll just toss the pics on here that show what we've been doing . . .
Oh, I guess I should take pics of Miss Mia watching Polar Express OVER and OVER and OVER until she says the words right along with the movie . . .
And then, I'll need pics of Miss Picky and Miss Mia doing "up highs" (Miss Picky lifts Miss Mia up in the air and Miss Mia does a straddle).
Then, there's the potty training pics - Miss Mia is doing GREAT! Yah, we still have an accident once in awhile, but she's letting us know when she needs to go - even when playing and when we have company.
And, what about me carrying both Miss Mia and Miz Aise while Miss Mia sing-songs "My two girls!" over and over. She LOVES when I carry the both of them from my bedroom down to the living room. It's sooo cute to listen to her.
Dancing to Christmas music. Redecorating the tree nightly. Cuddling with Miz Aise who is now smiling like a fiend and cooing at every opportunity. Miss Mia telling me her Daddy is "hunting buck" and then, looking at me all serious . . . "I'll show you!" and getting me a hunting magazine with a photo of a buck.
So, maybe there are some gaps in my photos . . . but you understand! I can't have that camera in my hand all day I have two girls I need to hold!

Pretzel Wreath Project
One year, in elementary school, we made pretzel wreathes for Christmas gifts for our Mothers. My Mom has kept this gift all these years, and it still hangs in the kitchen. Miss Mia is now getting to the age where she likes to make things, and I thought - what better Christmas gift than something made by Miss Mia????
So, today, we made pretzel wreathes! Miss Picky came up to help.
How cute are they??? I cannot wait to add the rest of the ribbon to the wreathes. I'll be using Christmas ribbon on some.
And to think - we only needed pretzels and glue!

AHHHH . . . he got her flowers!This is Homecoming weekend for our local high school! I always loved this week at school and this year, I got to enjoy some of that excitement again! Miss Picky is now a high school freshman as well as being on the Varsity Cheer Squad, so she was very involved in the activities. Today, she had the Homecoming Dance ~ where she is currently. She went with her boyfriend, Cam. Miss Mia got to pose with Miss Picky for a picture.
Last evening was the parade and game. We went to the parade. I was really excited for Miss Mia to see Miss Picky cheer. Plus, this was a great way to offer support to Miss Picky without having to go to the game (which was won by our team, by the way). Knowing so many people on the different squads (coaches, kids, other persons in the parade) really paid off - we had so much candy - it looked like we were already Trick-or-Treating! AND - it was good candy! Snickers, Milkyway, etc . . . Miss Mia enjoyed the parade - even running after the candy when she got the idea of what was going on there. She didn't care much for the sirens of the fire engines and ambulance, but she didn't cry!
What a great weekend!
