different day - more Cinderella

tim took these pictures a few days ago of the three of us.  this is at the end of the day and we are smiling - isn't that wonderful :)

seriously though - i feel like the girls and i are in a good stride - having more good days than bad.  we are usually clean, we leave the house and i am even trying some new things.  (like baking bread - please don't be that impressed - it is a simple recipe but i am proud of myself, yeast is involved.  i told tim last night - i would actually give the bread to other people to eat.  the first few loaves were a bit... rough... but i am improving).  

i feel incredibly thankful for these simple days - just me and the girls.  

i had to include this one because clara looks so cute. oh if we could only all be smiling at once - oh well.  yesterday samantha was singing "yo yo, yo yo, a pirate life for me" while wearing her Cinderella dress.  introducing cute clara and pirate sam.

one other funny thing - sam is now in the habit of spontaneously introducing herself to strangers.  it usually happens in the check-out line where she will randomly put her hand on her chest and announce, "i am sam" or "my name is sam."  it is awesome.
