Two Sundays ago Sammi was doing pretty good and she spent all morning talking about going to nursery. She was very excited about playing with the blocks. So we trucked off to sacrament meeting. That was fairly difficult because she kept dragging Brent to the nursery room to play with the blocks. We figured we'd let her go and see Brent would check on her to make sure she wasn't too miserable. They said she did great and played nicely. I thought that was a miracle considering how tired she was. So we came home from church and gave her a snack while we we getting dinner ready. Brent and I were both running around the kitchen getting things ready so we didn't even see it coming! Brent looked over at her and she was out cold. to her credit, she did finish her yogurt first! I guess she's not quite ready to give up naps just yet.

Sunday Dilemmas
Sundays are hard days for napping for Sammi. We have church right during her nap time and she is often fairly miserable. We usually miss either sacrament meeting if we can get her to fall asleep or Brent brings her home after sacrament meeting and she naps during nursery.

Adorable Sam
So Sam didn't sleep well Monday night (which means neither did I!) Tuesday morning she came in a woke me up after just four disjointed hours of sleep. I rolled over to see this adorable face covered in my lotion. All I could do was laugh. I think I was basically delirious. But, that was probably a better response than getting mad at her for something I couldn't undo. We smeared her lotion all over my arms and legs. So, it wasn't wasted.This morning Brent was getting ready to shave and he smeared shaving cream all over his face. He looked just like Sammi! I wish I'd had my camera. What an adorable family!!
Baby Update and Other News
Well, we're on the countdown! Only 6 1/2 more weeks to go until Baby Elizabeth makes her appearance. There are a lot of things happening around the same time: we're moving, Grandma and Grandpa Chatterley come home from Georgia, Brent should start to get invitations for interviews from medical school, and Brent starts Fall classes.I get overwhelmed just thinking of all that activity! My motto is one day at a time! I've started packing up boxes of books and movies and blankets (definitely the blankets--it's way too hot!)
We were going to try to stay in our neighborhood, but unfortunately, nobody has an empty basement for us to rent. One gal did offer to kick her kids out of their basement for us! As it is, we signed a rental agreement for a house not far from where we are now. They are remodeling the kitchen and adding A/C. If that weren't already tempting enough, it also comes with a washer and dryer! I'm in heaven!

Baby Contest Results
Summerfest was last weekend and we entered Sammi in the Baby Contest. At first I was really hoping for first place, but then I realized that meant we would ride in the parade and that didn't seem like much of a prize to me! 
In the end, Sammi won Third Place which was some recognition, but most importantly came with a package of fruit snacks and a package of gold fish crackers. That, I believe, was Sammi's highlight of the day!We ended the day by watching the parade from our driveway. I love the floats. Sammi loved the helicopter and the firetrucks. Brent loved the cars, probably. I forgot to ask him... We sipped Brazilian Lemonade while we watched. It was delicious!
Note on the recipe: I used sweet and condensed milk instead of the heavy cream and sugar. It's a little tart without the extra sugar, but so delicious.
