Life with Liv, Lai, + Lera

The week went well as far as getting back in the swing of things...thank goodness we didn't have to be at school until 8 this week though! Getting both girls ready by myself is a little harder now especially since Liv uses the big girl potty! My angel baby is moving everywhere! They love to play together! Lailee is really wanting Liv's rice crispy treat! We introduced Lailee to her new lovie, Lucy the owl. It is the same brand as Liv's but just a different animal! Pretty girl! Pool time! A visit from Emmi and Papa! Can you tell he loves her just a little! :) Sporting Emmi's new head wrap! I love them sooooooo much!

Monday I went to work in my classroom and Janet came to watch the girls. Tuesday we played around the house and then went back up to school to finish. Wednesday we went home for a visit. The rest of the week was full of playing!!! My baby loves her minnie panties so much that she wants to wear all 3 pair!! This sums her up perfiect....ruffle panties and tractors! My baby girl is getting so big! Our favorite place away from home is Papa and Emmi's!!! Hi Mommy!!! Playing kick the ball on top of the roof!! Cooking with Papa! Cracking the egg! My dad loved to put Livia like this when she was a little baby and he loves to do it with Lailee too! She loves it too!!

Ahhh Toodles, Livia's lovie, was no where to be found!! We searched our house up and down for 3 hours Thursday afternoon/night and the search continued all day Friday! Cody and I were pitiful...I cried...Cody just kept repeating we have to find her...she is part of our family!! How sweet is that! I just couldn't wrap my head around her being gone! All the sweet memories that Liv has made with Toodles just kept going through my mind!!! The way she holds her, the way she rubs her against her nose and cheek before bed, the way she shares her milk with her...etc! Thursday morning before I got Liv out of bed she wanted Toodles to  come with her. We played outside and she brought her! I picked up what I thought was all her toys before a big  thunderstorm hit...and that's when it happened!!! Toodles was lost!!! Thankfully as Cody was driving up to the house after work he spotted Toodles around the corner up against the curb! When he pulled up he was holding Toddles up to the winds...

This week was such an awesome week!!!  Monday we swam with Diana, Lucas, Nicole, and Hope...and then went to see my family for hugs and kisses at the west clinic before Mom's PET scan. Tuesday my Nana and Mr. Ronnie came up to keep the girls while I ran to my doctor's appointment and also my Mom's! We found out the results of the PET scan and her body showed no evidence of the diseas...talk about God being so good to us!!! I feel like I can eat, breathe, and sleep again!!! Thank you, Jesus!! Wednesday we had a fun day at home! Thursday I met the third grade team during the girls nap and Larry came over to watch them, Friday we went to Newbern for the weekend! We had the best weekend we've had in a long time! We went to the Safari Park which was blast! Cody and I went on a little date to finish up celebrating our anniversary! Mom, Dad, and Linds had a ball while we were gone! Us girls had girl talk a lot! It was just the best time!!! Sunday we came home and Cody played ...
