We are hanging out in our basement today, which is something we don't do all that frequently. We waited too long to turn the air conditioning on today so we needed to escape the 79 degree temps on our main floor. The girls went in their kiddie pool earlier today, so Charlotte is dressed just in a little swim diaper. I can't believe how big she is getting. She's playing independently with blocks and castles at my feet. She's very extreme- either super sweet with the most charming smile, or she's a terror of emotions and tears. I never know where I stand with this one, but she's number one in my book.
Amelia is still in a damp swimsuit, but she's curled up on the couch watching Chipwrecked. She's the world's best snuggler. Shes getting so tall. I'm amazed by some thoughts and ideas that she shares with me. Today she told me that all of the talking in our house was 'ridiculous' so she needed a break. I couldn't agree more since it was mostly political banter between her dad and her grandpa. She's been a little down since her grandma and grandpa left to go back to Cincinnati. She's my sweet sensitive soul.
TJ is sitting on the couch flipping through some magazines. It feels like we are finally coming out of the chaos of having an infant in the house. It's nice to just sit. And read. Or do nothing. We just celebrated our six year wedding anniversary. So much has changed in six years. Some bad, mostly good. The important thing is that we've done it together. It was nice to get out of the house with him this weekend. Sometimes I have to stop myself from just thinking of him as a father to the girls. I miss dates with my funny and caring husband.
My life is far from perfect, but as things stand today, I'm not sure if it gets much better than this.
