When You Try Sometimes...

While the blog posts haven't been frequent, the happenings around the Orelove household have been quite frequent. With two girls growing and learning and moving all the time, I find it difficult to dedicate much time to bloggin, as I want to participate in as much of things as possible.

Violet is such a wonderful little baby! She seems to be developing at an amazing rate. At only four months, it feels like she just got here, but she has adapted to life in our house quite well. She is responsive and highly alert. She is always a smile away from melting your heart, and a grin away from making you giggle.

Our household has been welding even tighter bonds as time presses on. So many of those old songs have new meanings about childhood and growing quickly and children changing in front of our eyes. My girls never cease to amaze me daily with their questioning and awareness of their world around them. Their willingness to enjoy life wherever they are make them a joy to spend time with and interact with.

Toes!

Bottle time?

As St. Patrick's Day comes and goes, we celebrate the simple blessing of being and living and appreciating the health and togetherness that we experience every day. While life is never perfect, it is essential to recognize the positive and make the decisions in life that are best for your family. While we can't always get what we want, we try sometimes, and we get what we need. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before?
