Girls Time

Marina and I have been enjoying the last few weeks of girl time together- going to the park, the gardens, the farm (pony rides!) and the dino museum. I love hanging out with my cute little buddy. It's so fun to just talk with her and see what she'll say next. I am never bored when I'm hanging out with my little girl!

I just hope that she won't feel totally neglected when baby Drew comes along. She is kind of used to being the center of attention around our house. In fact, if she feels like Branden and I are talking to each other too much she'll say "hey! hey guys! stop talking!" Then she'll do something to try to capture our attention. Oh dear.

My mom told me that when my little brother was born she made a big deal out of having me help her do things for "our baby." Hopefully this technique will work for Marina as well. And hopefully we'll still get time every now and then for special girls-only activities. :)

You asked for it...

I have had a few requests (mostly from far-away family) to post some pics of the nursery and our house. I've been waiting until everything is "done," but it seems that may never happen. So, here are some pics of our house as a work in progress.
