Vintage-style smiles...

I know I haven't blogged lately, but I've been busy trying to enjoy my last few days before classes start again. I'm not used to having so much free time, and I apparently don't know how to manage it too well. I have a ton of things that I'd like to be doing (starting on a quilt, maybe? or trying a new pattern), but I have been doing nothing but watching the first season of "Gilmore Girls" and eating gross amounts of chocolate/unhealthy foods.

Today and Monday were spent with these two unbelievably funny, adorable girls:

My mom just started keeping little Amelia this week, when her mom went back to work after maternity leave. She's a little over two months old, and these pictures don't do her justice (it's so hard to take baby pictures with the flash off). My heart melts when she coos and smiles.

And then there's Maya, who is nothing but a little goose (a 2 1/2 year old goose). She is completely beautiful and hilarious, and she knows it. I could write a book about the things she tells me.

She absolutely loves the baby and fawns over her like she's the mother. She also loves to clean with the Swiffer Sweeper (you just detach a few of the metal parts to make it her size), repeat words (today it was "negative," or as she said, "eggative"), play with cars and Batman figures, and listen to Elvis. Hey, someone has to keep the understanding of real music alive. =)

Until next time,
