Behold the Cuteness + More Birthday Wishes

For Daddy's birthday we feasted at the Copper Mill. I had intended to make fresh salsa and have tacos at home, but my evening turned into Webelos chaos and I was so wiped out by the time that DJ got home that I said, "Where do you want to go Babe? This kitchen is closed."

It was storming pretty good when we left the restaurant and Ruby was scared, so we stayed up and snuggled on the couch for a bit watching lighting. Dad didn't last long. Ruby hid under the blue throw, and was all sweaty and hot but wouldn't come out until I promised to get out the camera and let her be in a video.

Oh, my sweet sweet baby girls. I can't get enough of their loveliness. Maybe it's the sentiment that things are about to change that makes me want to cling to each moment and see it again and again. (As of right now the video above has been loading for about 10 minutes. Perhaps I haven't figured out the video problem after all!) I know that the new little miss will be such a blessed addition to our group, but still, change, in any form is a leap of faith. I look forward to embracing our new family dynamic, but at the same time . . . . will miss the one that we have.

The girls and I left Daddy on the sofa while we brushed and jammied and set up a sleep over on the floor of my room. The lighting show, while mostly over, was still a good excuse for a sleep over, no?
