Sweet Angel

Lana read with Randi and then went into her own bed. However I woke up at 2am to her crying and babbling incoherently next to my bed. I just told her to climb into the middle spot of our bed, even though it was against the current house rules. I laid there staring at her peaceful sleeping face and couldn’t get over how much of a sweet angel she is.

She's a helper

Lana helped me rake. She really did. She tries hard and actually made a difference.  

She told me she has two jobs now, serving and raking. She’s been quite the server. [add pics] 

Then when we came in I got a glimpse of her as a teenager with her saying “I used to be a size 11 but now I’m a size 7. I must have lost some weight.”

BOO!

September 18, 2018

Alli asked that I keep Lana downstairs while she studied upstairs for her final aesthetician test. Lana snuck away for me at some point and I heard her upstairs do what’s becoming her patented BOO! And then Alli sounding legitimately surprised and slightly angry because she was studying.

You gotta think out of the box

July 29th 2018

Just got back from the cabin with G&G. Lana and I played big yellow ball soccer in our bare feet on the perfect natural grass pitch at Pamela. 

Alli was showing me that she’s been holding up her arm towards the camera when she’s taking a selfie of them, to make it look like she’s taking it. When Alli questioned her about where did she she think of that, she said “mom, you’re not thinking out of the box”

Victory is Mine!

July 22, 2018

Had a great lake day at the cabin.  Seeing Lana becoming comfortable at the dock and in the water was just awesome.  We had many floaties in use.  Lana got a new unicorn and flamingo floaties.

 

I was in the water in the burrito floatie and Lana got on it with me and said "victory is mine “ :-) Who knows where she gets it.

I’m really glad we upgraded the boat and can get in and out of the water easily now too.  It has all of us more comfortable and getting in the healing waters of Clear Lake more often.

The Snack Room

Memorial day weekend 2018

She came downstairs at the cabin for breakfast and made us all laugh with “I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news “. It was something about losing an outfit for her doll and finding a different one.  She also came up with calling the pantry the “snack room” that weekend.

Holding Court

March 13, 2018 

Alli was at work. Lana was holding court, with grandma and grandpa watching her eat her dinner in the kitchen. 

She was laughing to herself about how she was using all three of her sippy cups at once. She was having coconut water, coconut milk, and water. You kinda had to be there. Boy can she talk :-)

Now this makes me happy

March 2nd 2018 

Alli moved back home.

Lana was complaining that her horse was at her other house and without it she couldn’t be happy. She made this very clear :-) At some point she grabbed the kitchen stool I was sitting on and said I am taking it and went marching off into the living room with it. I heard her go around the corner by the bar saying “now this makes me happy “:-)

Then it was very sweet when she told Alli she wants to be just like her when she grows up. Then she said she wants to work at LA fitness.  Really cute.  Then she said "because you don’t have to do anything except watch kids" and started laughing her head off. That made us laugh :-)
