Jillian & Carleigh on pajama day at school. I love these girls!!!!

We have been so busy especially on the weekends. A couple of weeks ago, Chris & I went out to dinner & then a haunted house with Dana/Danny & Dani/PJ. It was nice having a date night. Rhianna watched the girls & did a great job.

The next day, the girls & I went down to Darcy's to make apple pies. We had a nice time. Jillian enjoyed playing with Oscar & Rhianna & helping make the pies. Ashley (one of Darcy's step daughters) and Rhianna played with Carleigh too. The pies were delicious.

Rhianna & Jillian. Two beautiful girls!

Then we went down to Brooke & Steve's for Danes birthday party. We had a good time. It is always nice hanging out with the Holland side of the family. We stayed til around 9:00. Chris stayed to play cards with Steve. Boy did that upset Jillian. She howled "daddy" half of the way home & said she didn't like the moon, her favorite color pink or the pretty lights at the cemetery because she was "so upset" (her words, not mine). She finally fell asleep as did Carleigh, both girls slept the rest of the night!

The next day was when Darcy & I drove to Illinois (read previous blog).

This weekend was a little less busy, but we still ran around alot. Friday night, I took Jillian to a "trunk or treat" at a church down the street from us. Saturday, the girls & I went to a 31 party at Brooke's house. Then we, with Chris, went to Mooresville for a trick or treat "hike.". Jillian's personality has definitely come out recently. She had me roll down the window at Starbucks so she could ask the lady what her name was & proceeded to tell her we were going to Aunt Darcy's. She talked to two women at Walmart the other day. And when we went trick or treating in Mooresville, there was a guy laying in a coffin passing out Tootsie Rolls. Instead of being scared, Jillian went up to him & said "what are you doing in there?". She had quiet a few people on the "hike" laughing because she had sooo much personality.
Jillian loves Carleigh so much. It doesn't surprise me anymore when I hear Jillian telling Carleigh that she loves her. The infant teacher told Chris the other night that every time Jillian sees her, she asks how Carleigh is doing. AW WWW.
Carleigh has been smiling more & sleeping in her crib more too. She isn't sleeping consistently through the night, but it is better than every 3 hours.

Following are just some pictures of our lives the last couple of weeks.
