Dawson Details

• J & L love to sing. They wake up singing. They sing in the car. Lyla probably has the better voice but Jilli has more passion


• Grace has taken to illustrating stories. She is actually an amazing little artist and tapes all these pieces of paper together. This means I run out of tape a lot but who am I to impede an artist's process


• Jillian and Grace are like the same kid. Same sweet temperment. Same stubborn streak. Then there is Lyla. Adam claims she is all her mother :) I personally think she is going to run the world someday.


• Dress up is in constant play at our house. It usually involves tutus and leotards and lots of accessories


• I played stay at home mom after my wrist surgery last week. Epic fail one day as I locked keys in the car, had to be rescued by a police man, Jill scraped her knee, and they fell asleep in the car and wouldn't take naps when we finally did get home. Props SAHM. Mad props. I was a hot mess.


• The twins never stop moving and getting into things. They are the definition of chaos. ALL. THE. TIME.


• Grace loves the show Good Luck Charlie. I do too. It reminds me of Full House. Sure beats Doc McStuffins on repeat. There is no getting that theme song out of your head.


• Grace has been invited to join the preteam at gymnastics. And so it begins.


• Potty training starts in September. Physically I think they are ready but they don't want to sit on the potty. Training 2 should be an adventure.


• I have some work travel this fall. I always dread being away from my babies. But its good news for our company and job security to have these type of meetings


• In September Adam will have worked a full year without being laid off for the first time in 3-4 years. Newsflash, the economy has sucked. Hoping we can keep the trend going.


• In Ocober we will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. I am thinking a trip back to East Lansing would be a pretty awesome way to celebrate


• We are hoping to visit the mouse this Spring. We have been promising G since the twins were born we would go back to Disney when they were 2.5. Save Save Save.
