How do you keep 2 little girls occupied for hours on end... in a hospital??
You'd be amazed! These two did AMAZING!

A few days ago my grandma fell and cracked 5 ribs & chipped her spine. On Sunday my mom, Natalee, Shyanne & I headed over the pass to spend a few days cheering her up. She eagerly anticipated the arrival of the girls... especially since she now knows we get to adopt the girls... they have SO wrapped her around their little fingers!

I was a little nervous about trying to keep the girls occupied in the hospital... but they entertained themselves! One day: a note pad + 2 pens = hours of fun. Another day, two gloves, blown up with a smiley face to use as dolls = HOURS of entertainment... a birthday pack of bubbles, stamps & playdough from Kyah's birthday party = another whole afternoon of fun! The girls were sad to be left behind at the hotel the last day while Nonnie went to the hospital. They just thought the hospital was the place to be! (:
I'm so glad my grandma is recovering well! We had a wonderful time and it was so sweet to see her simply glow, with the girls around!

ooops!

I just realized that those "8 Month" pics I posted a few days ago weren't the 8 month pix.  They were more like one day shy of 7 month pictures... and THESE are the 8 month pictures! ha. o well... not much difference.  My editing was terrible in the 7 month pix - these are unedited, and probably for the best since it's not my strong suite! ha! (isn't this outfit from Nonnie ADORABLE!?) Love, love, love this one:    This is a typical face.  If he's not sucking in his lip, he's spitting and soaking his shirt with drool! (sorry so blurry - just had to remember this face!)
