The man of the house loves zucchini cakes. Surprising, given that they are both made out of a vegetable AND they contain no meat, but as Cory completed the first lawn mowing of the season, and the very first at our new house, I prepared him his special request.

We had the pleasure of watching Mabel so her parents could have a date night. As soon as I sat down with her I had two more little girls on my lap. You may guess that it was because they were jealous of Mabel getting my attention, but in fact, they were jealous of me getting Mabel's attention. They spent all night trying to impress her and giving her lots of hugs!

Her first trip to the dentist and our shy little girl even let them clean her teeth!

Just as I posted Thea's bedroom wall during the week of her birthday, here is Leila's. I feel like I have blogged the story of Leila's birth so many times that I shouldn't go there again, but I will say that along with "dark beauty" Leila also means, born at night. When Leila was born with already brown eyes just after the midnight hour we had no doubts about the name we had chosen for her.
