a little loud at some points, but I just sent them outside and that seemed to make the house quieter.  Thankfully, my neighbors that live behind me appeared to be out of town and we don’t have any other neighbors.  I was finally able to get them to all lay down at 12:00 and soon after, they were asleep.  </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-S-rPJfubkw8/Tokh_ib9BlI/AAAAAAAAHMA/x0uhDOu5ZuU/s1600-h/IMG_9168%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

our routine doesn’t change up very often.  Every morning, we have the same conversations about getting up, brushing hair and teeth and getting shoes on.  However, if this is my biggest complaint, I think we’re doing ok.  </p> <p align="left">There are times when she gets sassy with me, but she’s quick to apologize.  Of course, this is usually after she’s stomped her feet or rolled her eyes.  I write these things, not because I want her to sound like a brat, but because I want to remember the good and the bad times.  </p> <p align="left"> </p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-pBy0E413KNI/Tm1pjEZ3T7I/AAAAAAAAHKw/4-6SDscR6yo/s1600-h/IMG_8618%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;
