Macie was loving life now!
This is my absolute favorite picture. They are so cute!!
We kind of struggled with the baby sweet potatoes.
By the time bedtime rolled around Lana was so sleepy from our big adventures that she was giddy/exhausted. She kept laughing and clapping and burying her head into one of our pillows and giggling. It was hilarious!
I took this picture the next morning to prove that I can dress a baby. It was a lot more challenging, especially since the only other things I've ever dressed were my Cabbage Patch dolls when I was younger. And Lana liked to kick her feet while I tried to get her pants on.
I had such a fun time with her. We went on a few errands and she was so good! She did a good job when I put her down for bed/naps and did a great job eating her food. I changed my first diaper in over 10 years (and then about 10 more). The worst thing happened when it was more than pee. Oh man! I was trying to change her diaper and not breathe at the same time while she kicked her feet and smiled. I was dry heaving and that was pretty much the only time Macie wanted anything to do with her so Mace got in trouble for that. The only thing I didn't really expect when everything was said and done was that I was EXHAUSTED. And Lana is even a great baby! I seriously needed a couple days to recuperate after she left. I guess I just didn't know what to expect and didn't realize how much work babies are. I told Brent to enjoy how clean our house is now because once I have a baby it's going to be messy and I probably won't have my hair/makeup done when he gets home at night :)
Anyway I am so glad that we got the chance to watch Lana and that I feel like I did a good job. Thanks Dan and Brianne for trusting us with your sweet little girl! And Lana, you are welcome back anytime!!

Well, I wish we had a cure for the feet-kicking thing. Matthew still does that, although now it hurts if he catches you. We're working on it - gotta get him potty-trained. Anyway, nice work... seems like you got through with flying colors. Probably helps that she seems like the cutest little girl.

You look like a natural Sam!
Cute! I love the pics! Can you e-mail me a couple of the cutest ones? (breen7955@gmail.com) Thanks again. Dan and I had a really good time and I wasn't worried one little bit while I was gone! Sam the super-babysitter!
Good job! Really your own kids poopy diapers aren't as bad as other kids diapers (except when they are almost 3). Yep, sometimes I haven't even taken a shower and the house is a disaster area when Jordan gets home but I'm not going to pick up after Matthew and soon Isabelle all day long.
