The clouds are loud...

I am so far behind!!! (deep breath...) I will catch up, I will catch up ;)

So for now, I had to write this story down because I did not want to forget. Laid LeaAnn down at 6:15 & Lydia got to stay up 'late' w/the big girls till 7:00 (after Lauren read her 3 stories). She has become such a big girl lately... "dat's a skid-woader," "Yes, Lydia, it is a skid-loader."  "Daddy dwive me on skid-woader" :D
I put my tennis shoes on tonight and she says, "Mommy go wun?"  I'm sure there are a ton of 2-yr olds who are so observant... it's just been so long since we've had one, and she captures our heart so easily... all the time.

So she's in bed, big girls are watching, "The Voice" and it starts to down-pour. Complete w/thunder & lightning of course :)  Oh wait!!! It's MARCH IN IOWA?!?  And there are thunder-storms and it's 70-degrees... so of course there's a thunder storm.  I think nothing of it, Lindsay does her usual, "can I sleep w/you guys if it's storming?" and Chris walks them up at 8:00. He comes downstairs and says, "melt my heart..."

When he walked upstairs, Lydia was laying across the steps at the top of the stairs and she sat up and said, "The clouds were loud Daddy." (tear) Lauren picked her up and carried Lydia to her bed (double tear)...

More to come & soon - promise Mimi :)
