Well, everyone survived!

My day of volunteering and giving an interpretation of a dining room in a 1909 prairie style house went great and so did Ryan's day with the girls.

Madeline still doesn't take a bottle - she only drank about an ounce of the breast milk I left - and Ellie refused to take a nap until Auntie and Mamma came home {which wasn't until 7:30, so I guess you would call that bedtime, not nap time ;) } but other than than the day was a success.

Daddy and the girls played at the park, flew a kite and were all three happily blowing bubbles and popping them when we got home.  This morning Madeline even wanted Ryan to hold her instead of me.  And that made my heart feel super happy.  They watched Kai Lan, too.

Last year I did this volunteer day (a house walk of historic homes) almost six months pregnant.  This year I have an 8 month old and a 3 year old.  Next year I'll have a toddler and a preschooler!  I'll say it again.  It's all going by too fast!
