Girly Time

I'm nearing the end of this pregnancy with only a month left to go.  Today was one of those days that you just simply felt tired all day.  Third trimester tiredness cannot be cured with caffeine!  But the highlight of the day was watching Magdalene's eyes light up when I asked her if she wanted mommy to curl her hair.  I picked up a set of new hot rollers so I could curl both of our hair.  She watched me using them yesterday, but I thought it would take some convincing on her part to allow me to use them on her.

 Well, it didn't much convincing at all!  She sat very still on the purple Bumbo seat, and let me style her hair.  It was the "caffeine" I needed to get me going.  Our little girl was letting me style her hair!  I was so excited!!!

She wanted to see what the curlers looked like in her hair so we ran over to the bathroom.  Miraculously, Tobias was distracted playing with something in his bedroom so we had a full mommy and daughter time for at least 15 minutes.  

Lovely locks!!!!  We put a little hairspray in it so it would hold up for Daddy when he got home.  She wanted to look like Cinderella.  

This was her attempt at smiling for the camera.  She's trying to smile, but I think the flash bothers her.  

(Daddy said she made a mommy face in this picture).

It was much easier to get a normal shot of her looking at herself in the mirror.  Look at the excitement in her face!

(Mommy thinks this is a daddy face).

"Yes, Magdalene.  You do look like a pretty princess."   

So if tomorrow brings once again a day of tiredness, I will pray for patience and look fondly on today. 

 Our little girl really is growing up....

Holy Week Family Traditions

Bus...Snowman...Love My Family!

Hello family and friends!  We hope you are all doing well.  Life has been slow this winter.  The kids and I have been staying home working on craft projects, reading, playing, baking, and singing.  Jordan and I made a recent purchase for a new (used) vehicle.  We thought it was time to sell Jordan's truck before the baby arrives late spring/early summer.  Jordan found a great deal on a 12 passenger van so we made the purchase!   We have only driven the van about three times, but we love it!  I drove the family to Mass this morning.  Backing up out of our driveway and parking are not easy in general for me, but it'a a bit more difficult with our new van.  Jordan was a good coach, and he helped me tremendously.  

We got a lot of snow this past week!  Jordan showed the kids how to make a snowman.  He did a great job, and there's a few pictures below that describe their adventure.  

We pray you are all in good health, and we miss you all so much!  We hope these pictures give you a glimpse of the Jacobs family. 

Jordan shaved off his beard!!!  It's temporary, but I never realized how much he looks like his twin brother.    

Me and my one true love!  Isn't he handsome!!!

Our family sold the truck and bought a 12 passenger van.  There's plenty of room for current and future children.

Tobias loves to sit on this toy outside.  He doesn't enjoy feeling the cold snow.  

Daddy and Magdalene made a snow Piglet!
