This past week has been... well let's just say more challenging than most. The girls are very busy, in such a way that keeps ME very busy. They seem to be going through a needy stage. Especially Paisley. She's not having fun with her toy unless I'm WATCHING her have fun. Otherwise she does this extremely loud fake cry, where her mouth is WIIIIIIIDE open, and eyes tightly shut... making a shrill ... [ Read More ]
Foolery in the Orange Chair
Sometimes I wish I could post the entire progression of pictures I take on a given Friday. It would be hilarious to view it as a flip book... girlfriends are ALL.OVER.THE.PLACE. Usually the best picture is the first or second one I take. And after that, it's like trying to corral two wild circus animals to not only sit still, but also smile and both be looking at the camera simultaneously. If you ... [ Read More ]
Weekly Pic!
Happy Friday the 13th! (emphasis on FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!) Are you experiencing an icky/wet/blustery/spring day like we are? The girlfriends and I are happy to stay indoors on a day like today. Although I wouldn't mind going garage-saling later this afternoon, weather permitting. Only a torrential downpour will keep me away! As a side note, I had a terrifying nightmare about trying to navigate ... [ Read More ]
Easter Chicks
I realized after the fact that I should have put them in their Easter dresses! And then I realized that they don't have Easter dresses... OOPS! Good thing they're unusually adorable in whatever they're wearing! I'm not normally arrogant, but I think my babes are pretty darn cute. Guess that probably a mom-thing, huh. The girls are 9 months this week! And they're already starting to move into 12 ... [ Read More ]
Growing TOO FAST!
Yet another week has passed, and I desperately wish that I could freeze time. It just goes by so fast... that's all. I just got back from the 'Mothers of Multiples' Garage Sale in Des Moines, and I'm excited to go dig through all the new-to-us loot! Baby girls clothes are soooooo fun! ... [ Read More ]
Pure Mischief
We're at the point now where it seems there are new milestones all the time! Adelyn popped a 3rd tooth (and may be working on a 4th) this week and has started saying DAH! Nick thinks she's conveying who her favorite parent is, but I gently explain to him that it's phonetically the easiest things for babies to say first ...Hehe! Paisley is on the verge of scooting/crawling. This mobility has ... [ Read More ]
Spring Babes
Wow... I feel like it's been a whirlwind week here at the homestead! The weather has been Awesome with a capital A. I'd probably be sitting in the grass with the girls if it weren't for all the Reuben turds and... Reuben himself. He's so large, and enthusiastic in a bad way. In case you're new to the blog, and feel like you're seeing a dejavu... we take weekly pics of our girls to see how they ... [ Read More ]
8 Months Old
The girls are getting so big. I almost can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday the doc pulled them out of my pelvic cavity. I knew time would fly, and it has. I've been trying desperately to cherish and fully enjoy each stage of their babyhood... because it's a fleeting moment. Just a whisper. And taking as many photos and home videos is the best way to capture it and hold onto it ... [ Read More ]
In the Orange Chair
Today, I'm a little moody and... bloated. And I've been thinking a lot about whipping up some sort of baked good that incorporates chocolate a peanut butter in an appropriate ratio. I'm also SO sick of my current 'project' that I've been fantasizing about dousing it in gasoline and setting it ablaze. But more importantly, it's photo-Friday! And here are my princesses sporting a couple little ... [ Read More ]
Little Women
I'm feeling a little under the weather today, but not so much that I can't take pictures of the little ladies! Thanks for not minding me keeping it brief. Hope you have an awesome weekend! ... [ Read More ]
