Well, yesterday when I took the boys to visit their aunt and cousins, we were getting ready to eat lunch and I couldn't believe the lunch she prepared for Morgan. Nicole said that when she made it "fun" (see below), Morgan was more into eating it. Her lunch included a PB&J roll-up, yogurt with blueberries on top of it (that Nicole added), carrots and dip, and a small sliver of a magic bar for dessert, with a glass of milk. Seriously she needs to have her own magazine or write her own book or something -- "Making Daily Activities Fun for Kids" perhaps -- activities, how to make "chores" fun, recipes, etc. I don't know -- I'd read it!
I was hoping to get a picture of the boys with their cousins yesterday, but it simply didn't happen -- getting them to all be awake at the same time didn't really happen for long. The best I could do was when we were leaving. The boys were in their carseats already and a bit fussy during that transition, as I was gathering all our things. Nicole started rocking the car seats to calm them down. A couple minutes later, she went to go get something for me and after we got back near the boys, here is Morgan slowing rocking the car seats and the boys were fast asleep. You go Morgan!
We had a great visit, although it seemed way too short. I am excited that I'll have all summer off to visit even more, though. I can't wait for the four of them to grow up together and hopefully be as close as my sister and I are. If I can only be half the mother my sister is, I think I'll do just fine... You rock sis! xoxo

You are so funny - and unbelievably sweet! Morgan and Parker are both really great kids. They make being a good mommy pretty fun and easy, most days! ;) And you are right, Morgan is a very upbeat (and very receptive) girl! This stay-at-home-mom thing has been a process for all of us and you learn rather quickly what makes you and your babies happy. And some days, it's a fun lunch or spending some one-on-one time together. Thank you for your kind words - love you!!
Nicole set the bar pretty high, but I have no doubts you will be a rockstar mom also! I LOVE the last photo!
