October

Since Lilly turned 8 in April, she was old enough to go to the General Women's Conference. I thought it would be fun for her to join me, my mom and my sisters for the conference. Her cousin Ellie came too! We met up for dinner beforehand where my parents treated us to a nice dinner (Lilly loved going to a fancy restraunt!), and then we went to my ward and watch the conference. It was the best women's conference I can remember. I loved it, and I loved being there with Lilly! I know it wasn't the most exciting for her, but I know she loved the "girls night" we had. Hopefully she will look forward to it & that it turns into a special tradition. I am so blessed to be her Mom. She is such a sweet little person.

Claire got to go out on a date with Anton that night. He let her choose where they went to dinner, and she chose Sweet Tomatoes (no surprise there!) and then they went shopping. Anton said that she was so cute and just talked and talked. I am sure Claire loved the one on one time with her Daddy. We have the cutest little girls...so grateful & so blessed!

Claire has the most angelic little face when she sleeps. I sneak into her room often and take pictures of her. Such a mom thing! I also love her face when she just wakes up - makes me smile every time!

The girls do NOT like to get in trouble with Anton. It doesn't happen too often, so when Anton gets mad, it doesn't go over very well. Much to their dislike, this note made us laugh so hard! 

Every once in a while I find things that remind me that I still have a really little person in the house. I opened up Claire's sock drawer, and saw this new drawing in there. She also signed Lilly's wall just the other day. And last week she put stickers on her window. It's ok by me because I know someday I will really miss finding things like that!
