Homemaking & Smiles!

I took some pictures last week that I was all excited to post, then I came back to post the entry I'd written and found that John had stolen my thunder- most of the good ones were already up. So here's the boring stuff.

Now that I'm spending all day at home with the girls, I'm getting excited about all sorts of homemakey things.

I found the site that everyone uses to get these fancy scrapbookish layouts, then used the little html understanding I remembered from college classes forever ago to (mostly) fix the disaster I made when I applied the template.

I've been doing a bit of cooking- to justify the new mixer- starting with a full Thanksgiving dinner. We skipped a walk yesterday so I could make banana bread. John and I also made a cake and buttercream frosting. I've even cooked dinner a few nights and our icecream maker just made its third batch.

The girls started smiling this last Wednesday. This first-time-mom of course had a camera handy to catch a few of the smiles, which can be seen on John's entry.

I think the babies like each other, or are at least interested in observing each other. When one of the girls is screaming the other- if she isn't screaming herself- will reach for her sister. Yesterday I walked in to comfort Macy and caught Camy offering her thumb to Macy to calm her- and it worked. I thought I took a picture, but it turned out that I'd taken a video.

(I'll update with a photo or two when I get back to the other computer).
