Bittersweet

My girls are pretty well behaved. They have their moments, but they are good children. Last night, they were one of THOSE kids you wonder if the parents ever discipline or keep an eye on them in stores. They were running wild!
Monday’s are usually the day everybody is tired from a new work/daycare week. I had [...]

Bug has a binkie.   She has LOTS of binkies.   She started her  binkie obssession when she was a mere two days old in the NICU.   When life started getting really stressful with all that has gone on the past two years, she has relied on the binkie more and more.   I’ve been adamant that we [...]

This past weekend the girls were playing outside on the “bouncy” and in their little kitchen.    I noticed Bug was leaning over the sink in the play kitchen.   She was leaning over and coughing into the sink.  I asked her what she was doing, she said she was “coughing.”   She calls throwing up “coughing.”   I then [...]

Did I mention the rooster?   I hate the rooster, always have.   It starts crowing about 4 a.m. every day.   Well, I guess I start hearing it about 4 a.m. , it may start earlier.  
Once again, thanks to the rooster, our day started early.  This time Daddy got up with the girls and I got a little more [...]

It’s been a long time since we went to see Grandma K, so we planned to go for a three day visit.   I took a day off from work and we went to Value Village to get another magnadoodle and some other goodies to make the long car ride interesting for the girls.
Just the trip [...]

Yesterday was kinda hard on me emotionally.   It always hits me when I’m not expecting it, but I should have expected it.  
A former co-worker brought in her 4 week old baby boy.   He was absolutely beautiful and sleeping peacefully.  Everyone was holding him, but I couldn’t do it.  I am so happy she had a [...]

We didn’t plan on going, so it was spur of the moment and it was memorable.   We had a lazy Friday, nobody really wanted to do anything, but we needed out of the house.   We planned on a quick trip to Costco for milk.  I causally mentioned on the way that Sausage Fest started that [...]

Life with the girls has been fun, trying, and well, it’s an experience like no other.
Littlest’s vocabulary is getting quite big.   Favorite words right now are “Bottle, bottle, bottle, bottle, BOTTTLE!!!!” and “nack.”  When she wants to eat, she says “nack” and lots of times goes over to her high chair.  Usually when she wants [...]

I think Septemer is one of my favorite times of the year.   The light changes and at the end of a sunny day, it becomes a warm, gorgeous glow.  The mornings are a bit more crisp but give way to a perfect day.   At least most days.  I think what I love most about Autumn [...]

First, Bug was in bed, asleep by 6:30 last night.   I didn’t know what to do with myself!  Of course Littlest didn’t want to go to sleep early, but still was asleep before 8.   It was the weirdest evening.   I had my “chores” done, the girls were asleep, I actually had an hour of time [...]
