No words necessary!



Food! Family! Friends!

We have been keeping ourselves busy!  Last weekend my Mom ended up being in town so we were able to squeeze in a Mother's Day celebration on Saturday afternoon.  When you tell Lila that Celia and Ruby are coming over we can barely contain her anticipation!  The girls are so good together and it is so much fun to see them interact!  Because of Celia and Ruby we now have a certifiable Justin Bieber fan in the Eddins household!  She walks around asking for "Baby, Baby!"   

Three Amigas!

For Lila's birthday Grammy got her, her very own kitchen!  Mike and I spent an evening putting it all together and couldn't wait to show her, we knew it would be a big hit!  Sure enough, when we took her downstairs to unveil her new toy, she GASPED she was so excited!  We have quite the cook!  Her specialty is "pancakes," which really means cupcakes!



Kiss the Cook!

This weekend found us having an impromptu get together with the Hahn's.  Just like Celia and Ruby, if Lila knows Henley is coming over she squeals in delight and asks constantly when Henley will be here!  Watching these two is truly so sweet.  They are in awe of each other and do such a great job playing with each other that the adults actually get to have a nice time catching up as well! 

Lila is always excited to have friends over and she couldn't wait for Henley to come over and play with her new kitchen!  They spent a lot of time rooting around, playing with the pots and pans and of course enjoying their creations at the island after they were done cooking!



Cookin' for Two!

Loungin' Ladies!

It's amazing to think what these little girls will be up to in 10 years?!  I am sure it will involve whispers, giggles and lots of fun!  I think I can feel the gray hair coming on now! 

The definition of Mother...

Many words describe what it is to be a Mother, I took a minute to document a few that describe my Mom.  These words are also the characteristics I hope to bring to my relationship with my own daughter! What words describe your Mom or describe you? 

Happy Mother's Day

to all the beautiful, strong women celebrating today!

Out and About

Sunday found Mike, Lila and I joining some of our very best friends for the March of Dimes Walk at Rockwell Collins. Yes, the March of Dimes is a great cause, but it holds a special place for those of us that walked as the March of Dimes helped to support our good friends the Holub's when their babies were born! We walked on Team 2 Miracles & 1 Angel...in honor of Dalton, Dylan and Danielle Holub.

It was a bit cold, but the sun was shining and we were ready to go! The kids were all bundled up and so happy to spend some time together -- it is so fun to have little ones around the same age to grow up with each other!

The Holub Family

As we walked along the route it was very neat to see all the tributes that were along the way for the children and families that have benefited from the March of Dimes. Dylan and Danielle are true miracle babies...Dylan was born at 23 weeks gestation and Danielle at 24 weeks gestation and because of resources like the March of Dimes they are both amazing little kids and thriving!

Sunday was also Celia & Ruby's dance recital at the US Cellular Center! I took pictures, but they were crummy due to 'no flash photography,' BOO!!! Both girls did an amazing job, at such a young age they are unbelievably confident and marched right up on that stage like they had been doing it for years! It won't be long before Lila joins them on that big stage too! She is already quite the dancer...tearing up the kitchen floor!
