This Baby Elle has kept us on our toes! She is pure JOY. Her sweet smile makes us all light up. Watching Little Leighton become the most wonderful Big Sister will remain one of my proudest moments.
Because of LL's schedule and my "stay-at-home-Mom-duties," we tend to be in the car at least once per day. Music is a BIG part of our car rides. LL and I love to sing-a-long to whatever pops up. When "Frozen" songs come on, she sings Elsa's part. I sing Anna's. When our favourite "Beauty and the Beast" song begins to play, she (politely) instructs me to "sing the 'boy parts'" while she "sings the 'girl parts.'" I happily oblige!
After reading ELC's post on songs in her library, I thought I'd share some of our current favourites! (You might notice ELC and I share similar taste--occasionally.)

"Dog Days Are Over" -- Florence + The Machine
"Go Your Own Way" -- Fleetwood Mac
"God Only Knows" -- The Beach Boys

Thank y'all--especially ELC--for your patience with me as I adjust to raising TWO precious daughters now. I'll get the hang of it soon. I hope! LOL.
