Sometimes I think sisters were put on earth as secret angels to help each other out in times of need. Ok, so maybe not all sisters, maybe just mine? I don't know, but one thing is for sure Kelly is an angel. What would I have done with out her? She spent her time here mopping my floor, deep cleaning my bathroom and stove, doing all of my laundry (which tended to be at least three loads a day), completely organizing Olivia's dresser, cooking up a storm (including freshly made lion house rolls, and three loafs of homeade whole wheat bread), and holding, diapering, and bathing the baby whenever I needed it. Truly angelic. Now I'm left to fend for myself and live life as we know it. In order to avoid going through Kelly withdrawls I decided to plan a day full of projects. It was a great idea. After a poor night of sleep, Olivia and I slept in until about 11:00am, showerd around 1:00, and finally made it up to Brooke's for a little photo shoot. After the photo shoot was over I figured I would have time to do some laundry and dishes before Jaron got home. A good goal to be sure. Instead I held, fed, and diapered a semi-sad baby. Five minutes later my husband got home, and I had done nothing. I'll figure this whole mom thing out one of these days! How do you guys do it?Thursday, December 07, 2006
Sister or Angel?

Jess, when any of us figures out how to do it, we'll be sure to shout it from the roof tops. In the mean time, what a great picture of Kel with baby Olivia. Lookin' pretty baby hungry!
Hi Jess,
You are doing a pretty big project right now, it's full time and it's called Olivia. Welcome to the world of mom's of newborns.
Love,
Mom
Jess, even though it's been a while, thanks for this sweet post. Sometimes I do come back to it, just to read the sweet things you said about me (when I need a little self-esteem boost of something) and to see the picture of me with "my baby." Seriously, the pleasure was all mine.
