For many months, Marta has named everything "Turner," until recently, when she's started naming things "Sparklewishes" or "Sparkle." I wonder if this comes from her own persuasion or from big sister, who constantly refers to living creatures with names like "Dreamy Dancer" or "Firework Flower Blossom."
Our move-in date is now Nov. 20. Is someone giving up deer hunting to work on the house? YOU BET HE IS.
I've recently started letting the girls read in bed before going to sleep. I creep in later to turn out the lights and put the books away. They do a great job of reading, then responsibly sleeping, and there seems to be less fuss about bedtime. I think they're probably too little to do this, but then again, can I even remember when I started reading under the covers with a flashlight?

About Me
- Lisa
- I'm a 33-year-old mom to two goofy, lovely girls. I've always wanted to start a journal for them, but can't seem to put pen to paper at the end of each day. With this blog, I'm glad to have a record of our lives when they were little. Berit, 5, and Marta, 3, allow Daddy Trevor and me to shower them with affection at our home in Petoskey. This space will also be a place of reflection during our adoption over the coming year. What a beautiful journey!

We do the same things...letting the kids "read to sleep". I admit, it is one of my favorite things in life, to come in check on them and gather up all the books they've enjoyed. We now have to tell Elle to put her (chapter) books away and GET to SLEEP! I love that! What no pics of the race?? Do I need to beg?
