We have had a busy week and I didn't get to catch up with everyone to let you know we are going on a trip. We are off for a little trip to visit my (Amanda's) grandparents in Indiana this week. When we get back, we'll be celebrating Lana's second birthday! Happy Memorial Day to all and best wishes to you wrapping up the school year!
Ok, this is Amanda now blogging when Justin has been the one to start this fire. So, this is my first time... I need to do some historical blogging; is that against the rules? Let's start with a fun story:
Lana likes her baby dolls and stuffed animals. She took us by surprise when shortly after she started walking, she started holding her babies and rocking them saying, "Sshhh... it's ok". Then the babies started doing everything she did... she put them in the high chair for food, she insisted on diaper changes for her dolls, she wraps them in blankets... they even ride in our hiking backpack. 
During the winter we had some snow and Lana was taking her dolls to the windows, "See outside?" she would say to them. "See snow, Elmo?" Her little nurturing instincts are wonderful to see and it feels like a reflection of how we care for her. It makes me feel like we've done a good job.
Try not to have a heart attack. We've actually posted some pics on the blog. This is what happens when the kid is asleep and we're still up at 1am!
And for those of you wondering, yes, Bobby and Lana took a bath together. It's way too early for me to start thinking about the talk I'll have to give to Bobby when they actually start "dating". This picture will make good blackmail material...
