Have I mentioned that I have an amazing daughter? Well okay - I have four amazing daughters but Molly has been particularly amazing lately. In our house the loudest kids get the most attention - which means that Molly falls somewhere around the 4th or 5th loudest with Lizzie the only one quieter at times. Molly comes home from school, sits at the table and does her homework, she gets her pajamas ready for her shower and helps us set the table for dinner. If I am frustrated and trying to cook dinner Molly will take all of the babies in one of the bedrooms and play with them until dinner is ready. Molly's teachers always love her because she is so sweet, caring and loving toward her classmates! I love watching Molly at school and hearing what she talks about with her classmates. I came in to school last week and all of her friends were asking me if Ellie was walking and if Lizzie had started talking yet. They wanted to know if Annie was going to go to preschool at Webster and when I was going to bring the babies in to school again. It was so cute to hear that Molly obviously talks about her sisters alot and keeps everyone up to date. My favorite thing about Molly is how sensitive she is to other people. When she found out that baby Ricky had died Molly cried with me and asked how Ricky's mom was. She drew a picture and wrote a poem about the baby for me - it was beautiful! She is thoughtful and kind in a way that is far beyond her 7 years. I am so proud to be Molly's mom!

I'm not the only one who thinks Molly is super special! Auntie Beth read on the blog that Bob and Molly dance to "Love Story" by Taylor Swift and within a week a package arrived on our doorstep adressed to the two of them. It was the Taylor Swift singing doll and guess what it sings?

Annie posing for the camera. Grammy and Papa called for a playdate with Annie and she danced around the living room for 15 minutes telling me that she was going to Bammy's for eggs! She loves her Bammy and Papa!

Grandma Betty sent the babies packages with fake roses in them and Ellie carried one around all night. I tried to get a picture of her crawling with it in her mouth but everytime I got close she kneeled up and looked at me! Everyone knows how I love roses! just wait and see what Auntie Kk has picked out for the girls for their Easter dresses - there may be roses! BTW - since there is a rose theme I can't wait to find out how KK fits the theme into Peter's wardrobe!

Our little buggie was being shy for the camera and eventually started roaring at me - I clicked away anyways!

She does not like when I take her binky away!

This was her roars and give it back signal - I'm telling you she just doesn't need to speak because her face says it all!

Annie getting comfortable on my table!

Molly and Taylor - Mols loves her beautiful evening gown!

Daddy was trying to get some cuddles with Annie!

Cuddle Bug!

Who has the best Mom ever? Me, of course!

So my knees are very swollen and achy. I mentioned it once to my mom that I wished I had one of those things that is filled with beans and shapes to your joints because I thought it would really help. The next day I had homemade heat packs filled with pinto beans, sown by Mom and, even better, smelling like my mom! You know - that smell of comfort that only your mom has - it's built right in to my heat packs. My dad nuked it for around 20 minutes so I had to wait to put them on but once I did it was bliss! Once again - who has the BEST Mom! It's me!

Auntie Beth will certainly get a kick out of Molly's response to my telling her that she looked so cute - a little like Flashdance! Kk gave her this shirt and it reminded me of Flashdance so I brought it up on the computer so she could see. Her response - "Mama - sometimes I don't get why this old stuff makes you laugh." Then she proceeded to make her way to go upstairs and turned around - "Besides - I look way cooler than that girl!" Did I mention that my girl was cool, too!

Lately it seems as though everything Annie says is cute. She was so excited that she was going to my parents house that I took some video of her! Enjoy!

GNM - ILY!
