Ivy's morning

Ivy really enjoyed her morning at the park. My friend, Amber brought her son, Ryder and a child she babysits to play with Ivy at the park. Ivy had a great time. She played in the sand with her new friend. She also got to be independent, cause her big sisters weren't there. She used her climbing skills to climb up to all the slides. It's so nice to see her being so active now. Then we sat down and had a picnic of snacks, thanks to my friend, Amber. Once again, I forgot to bring snacks. All my friends are so good at that. I must get better at that:) Poor Ivy. LOL. I was so happy to see Ivy eat carrots and apples. I have to admit she is like a chipmunk...eats, nuts and fruit. I love it!!!!:) Then when we came home, Ivy had a yummy , healthy lunch and a nice relaxing bath. You think that would be enough entertainment to make her take a great nap. No such luck! She was not having that! I hope that this isn't the start of no nap times ever again. Ugh!

Facebook

Since Shane has been home from the hospital, I have been contemplating quitting facebook. I just started to feel like I had to read everyone's posts each day and I would feel bad if I missed a message from someone. Don't get me wrong. This was a great place to post status updates and post photos. But I decided that my blog could be a place where my close family and friends from far and near could check up on the family. It's also nice to have more free time to blog if I am not doing facebook. I can't do both. It was also sad to see friends use facebook as a place to gossip, etc. I really want to start focusing on my family and documenting all these great memories with photos, etc. It's nice to too cause I can print out blog posts with photos for my scrapbooks. This is also something else I am going to start working on again. I really enjoy working on making photo scrapbook albums, and making photo enlargements for all my girls' rooms. I hope to find a friend that wants to take photography lessons with me.:) If you are interested, leave me a comment.:) I look forward to posting some photos of Ivy's first try of a dance class on Saturday. should be interesting:) Leila had her first dance class at HI Def. she loved it:) Post more on that this week. Everybody have a great weekend:)
