As a mommy day, today was pretty great. My girls woke up this morning and had me laughing before they even got out of bed.

It's Wednesday, which means we have to get ready for the day early. So I walk into their room and turn on the lights. They are stirring awake while I get their clothes picked out. P sits up and says hi, then looks at K "K, wake up." she tells her face down sister. K rolls over. Sits up. "Eye owie" K tells P because of the light). P being the awesome sis she is, crawls over to sis, kisses her face, and says "Kiss it better." Then we were able to get outta bed, eat, get dressed, get in the car, all that good stuff. Really, it was a super cute way to start the day!

We also went for a walk. I have been trying to take them on a walk every day. They get to be 'independent' and walk by themselves and 'pick' which direction we go. We just walk around the street and then turn around and walk back. But the last few days it has been going good. So today we headed out with Daddy, who had gotten home a little early. K walked with Daddy, and P and I strolled at a slower pace. Let me tell you, that kid is a slow walker and a fast talker! She talked about everything and then she talked some more! It was so adorable and I loved it. We also got the allusion of individual time with each girl without the stress of actual alone time. Go us.

In the family department, I was pretty sad today. Well, that's not true. I was a lot sad for the last hour. My Ma, whom I love, called and told me there will be a huge birthday party for my Nana, next Saturday. In California. Hi, I am in Germany, people. 10 days isn't exactly enough time for me to get out there. So there is a huge party for my Nana, and I will probably be the only grandchild not there. Oh, and did I mention that Nana is pretty sick and the docs don't think she will be around for her next birthday?

Here's hoping I can work some kind of magic and be there... But lets be real. My life is one big example of Murphy's Law.
