A Williams Update

It's friday morning and Zach left at 6am to drive to Toronto for a conference he has once a month.  So here I am with the girls and a long day with no plans ahead of me.  Accordingly, we are all in our p.j.'s and I'm thinking we'll pack the day full of entertainment as soon as I manage to dress myself.... good luck with that, right.  So Kaitlyn's been saying the funniest stuff lately. 
2 days ago I asked Kaitlyn if she knew how old she was.   She thought about it and started counting her fingers and announced she was 3.  I said she was close but that she's still 2.  Then she said, no and started counting her fingers again and said no, six.  But was unsure of her decision.  Then counted a couple more and very decidedly said "8!"  I explained it again but she was sure she's 8.  This morning I asked her how old she was and without any question said 8.   So Grandpa, you've got a 2 year old going on 8, does that sound familiar at all?  I'm in for it. 
Kaite's also been saying her own prayers and they are killing me.  It goes like in variations of this, "Hev Fade, Thank you grammie, pappy, grandma, grandpa, toby, minkie (her blanket), puppy, dinnie time, sleepy time, milk time, wake up time.  in Je Chri, AMEN."  Melts my heart.  Sometimes she just keeps going and going through all of the cousins and aunts/uncles she can think of.  We've been quizing her on the family picture on the wall and she can name all of you.  So know that you're loved. 
It's just so nice that she has something to say.  Yea for talking!  Last night I put curlers in her hair for the first time before bed.  They looked so perfectly placed before bed.  I was loving it.  But this morning was more like what's left of a palm tree after a hurricane.  all of these firsts are so darn cute. 
In the mean time, Liza's rolling all over the place and can sit up if we put a boppy around her.  She almost does it by herself but always ends up face first on her toys after I leave her alone.  Woops.  She's starting food too but has NO idea how to move her tongue out of the way so any of it can get in.  It's a messy business, but some ones got to do it.  :)
Me?  I'm chillin'.  Hoping for warmer weather so I can go outside and get warm.  I'm reading lots of books right now and wish I was finishing the girls scrapbooks but I wish there was a better way.  I've decided to make family movies instead of a family album.  I'll do a year at a time on a slideshow style video.  That way I don't have to develop all of the pics and it's something we watch.  The girls will still have albums but I won't feel pressured to include the full details of their lives, just highlight.  That's my plan... now all I have to do is do it.  Why is that always the hardest part?  Bummer. 
Love you guys.  Talk to you soon.
