Let me review...

I am not inclined to blog as much lately, but I can't pinpoint exactly why. On a whole life had been pretty happy lately. Work is good- keeps me on my toes and I continue to learn new things everyday which I love in a job. I am looking forward to having nights off to spend with my family again at the end of March. We had friends over for dinner last night and had a great time. We are so fortunate to still have a couple of people still without children who are able to come over, stay late, and no one has to pay a babysitter! Beau let me sleep in this morning and then we all took a two hour nap this afternoon which could be why I am in such a good mood right now.... Sleep is a powerful medicine.

My willful little daredevil of a child- Al- has been incredibly sweet today as well. Though the past couple of days have been rough with the testing of mommy's limits, I am always hopeful that every day is a new day. There is slight anxiety in the unknown of your childs temperament however!! He is al and Winnie making the most of Monkey Joes yesterday. They just love each-other...






And what inspired me to blog just now was my baby girl in her new Skinny Jeans. Life doesn't get cuter than this ...



Hopie and Al are finally starting to feel better after several rounds of antibiotics and the previous couple of pictures are a far cry from how they felt here...



The weather has been warming up and we can't wait to get outside. We went for our first jog outside of the new year this past week and the kids did great braving the snow laden streets bundled in blankets... We are getting stir crazy here-- that ground hog better bring good news.

She has a double ear infection right now, but is getting better!

I am obsessed with girl clothes... In the picture above, the grey stripped tights have ruffles on the bum that are totally adorable.

Merry Christmas 2010

Meant to post this a while ago!...

It has been a whirlwind of a couple days. Presents at grandmas, presents at Aunt Cheryl's, presents at home, presents in TX- where we are now.
It also snowed all day on Christmas Eve and Al was so happy to play outside in it...




And Hopie wanted to go out so badly...



Babies in their Christmas pjs






My cinnamon rolls finally rose!


And Al's work bench... Love it!




Merry Christmas everyone!

Happy Birthday Hopie

The day started out a little rough bc both my babies have been sick and I have been trying to wean Hope for a week now and she isn't having it. So grandma gave her a bottle and made her feel better....




As soon as she saw the pink balloons all was right in the world



The decor...( I was pretty proud of myself for this one)





(the Cakery, of course)

And she LOVED it. Skeptical at first, then ate almost the entire thing.





The party was great and all the kids had a blast. So fun to see them running around playing together.
I can't believe my baby baby is one!
