I’m sort of distraught… sitting here trying to think of what to write. I just can’t believe this is the last of our weekly pictures. I can’t believe they’re going to be 1 this weekend. I feel like I’m writing a eulogy, because these pictures have been a staple of our week; something to look forward to (and sometimes dread). Looking at the early weeks of their lives, it seems like a lifetime ago… ... [ Read More ]

The girls and I have been cooped up in the house all week, trying to evade the nasty hot and humids. We’re going a little stir crazy. The girls are bored with all their toys. I’m getting all impatient-like. You know the story. We could use a good walk in the sunshine... I just wish it didn’t involve heat-stroke and Jimi Hendrix’s hair. But on a positive note, I found an anti-perspirant that I ... [ Read More ]

I have great news! Our girl Delly is crawling! She just decided one day last weekend that she could, and hasn’t stopped since! She’s not quite as fast as Paisley, but she follows behind and they parade through the house like little ducklings pitter-pattering around. Crazy cute. Occasionally they stop and babble to each other, and then erupt into laughter at each other. If only I could crawl into ... [ Read More ]

Well, my girls have changed enough that now people don’t ask me how I can tell them apart… they want to know if they’re twins or not! This may be directly related to Paisley’s hair-growth and Adelyn’s lack-o-hair. To me, they’ve always been very different… in looks and personalities. But I’m just mamma. I also think they’re abnormally cute. Do they still look alike in their weekly pictures? Or are ... [ Read More ]

Sittin’ here early in the morning, freshly showered, and sipping a cup of coffee… I don’t believe it gets better than this! I woke up at 5:30 to get my run in, because the girls and I are taking a little roadtrip today to visit my Grandma in NE Iowa! In fact, I took the girls’ weekly picture yesterday, because I knew today would be busy busy BUSY! Also, looking forward to having lunch with my good ... [ Read More ]

The girls are becoming so interactive, with such expressive personalities! This is such a fun age. We're having a BLAST! We've been spending a lot of time outdoors lately; playing in the grass and taking walks in the jogger. The weather has been, well... perfect. And I feel so blessed to live in the country with gorgeous views and fresh air to enjoy with my small litter of humans. And not only ... [ Read More ]

In the last week or so, Paisley has had some exciting milestones to share! It took her 10 months, but she finally got her very first tooth! (Adelyn beat her on that one, getting her first tooth a couple months ago. And now she has 3!) Additionally, Paisley has started pulling herself up on furniture! She hasn't started cruising along the edge yet, but she definitely gets up to a standing ... [ Read More ]

This week was a lot more enjoyable than last week. The sun has been out... and I think that does wonders for my state of mind AND the girls' happy-meter! We've been spending several hours outside everyday, which is so super wonderful! The girls love that there are so many things to look at outside, and strangely enough... they love Reuben.  Weird! So it seems that whenever I put the babes in ... [ Read More ]
