TEN MONTHS!!

Wow. They're already 10 months old TODAY. It has gone so fast and yet been so long at the same time.

We went to the doctor for a check-up and all is well! Jordyn is 21lbs.10oz. and 28 1/4 inches, Ashleigh is 19lbs.2oz. and 26 1/2 inches, and Avery is bringing up the rear at 17lbs.5oz. and 26 3/4 inches long. They got their flue shots and did very well with that.

Jordyn and Avery are starting to test their limits--in every way imaginable!! Jordyn is starting to understand the word 'no' and Avery just smiles at you while doing exactly what she's not supposed to. They are both trying to stand and take steps on their own which is so fun and scary at the same time. Ashleigh has taken her first crawling steps and we are so proud of her advancements.

My parents came into town last wednesday and we went to a little place called Apple Hill. It's a bunch of apple orchards all in one big area. There were little craft booths, a pumpkin patch, an animal farm and every apple food imaginable. I had some apple strawberry rhubard pie and it was goooood. I bought some apple raspberry syrup and my mom made me some waffles with fresh raspberries and the syrup this morning and holy moly! so good.

I took some pictures this week---the first in a while so here is one:


go steelers!

I will try to get some more soon.

Halloween pictures to come too!

Your kids are so cute. Yum... your description of Apple Hill sounds very appealing! Maybe because I am hungry and wish dinner would just appear without my involvement. Bless mothers who come and fix the best meals ever for us!

"Is that....paint?!?"

Image
"Why, yes! Yes, that IS paint!" (A gallon of paint, to be exact. And, yes, that is my car. The driver's seat, actually.) That was my response to the nosey man, with a 6 year old child in tow, who was in line ahead of me at the car detailer. It's as if NO ONE has ever seen a little paint spilled before.... It's just paint people, keep walkin'! :) As you can imagine, I drew a crowd. It all started when I was on my way back to Lowe's (with offending paint can on the floor behind my seat) to buy a few more supplies, including a small tube of blue paint to be used to tint the paint that was currently still in it's can . I only had an hour until the girls got up from their naps and had to relieve my mother-in-law from her kid-watching-post, so I knew I had to be super duper fast. I was just about to the off-ramp when four cars in front of me all slammed on their breaks, of course causing me to slam on my brakes. It was enough to lay some rubber down, I can...

Veni, Vidi, Vici!

I came, I saw, I conquered! Well, I'm working on the conquering part. We all need to toot our own horns occasionally, so I am going to take a brief moment to do so. I know that whenever I get anything done, it makes me motivated to something else. Do you feel that way too? It's like the momentum takes over and you just start rolling! I usually roll right into a brick wall (i.e. children, etc.) And we, as parents, don't get the praise we should sometimes because it's just expected we do 'stuff'. Well, I have pretty much just made sure no one died in the past 15.5 months and the effects on my house are very evident. I like to be neat and organized. I hate clutter. Well, I've been living in massive amounts of clutter and it's just overwhelming and depressing, but it's not like I'm ignoring it on purpose. I make a small dent and it gets covered up 2 seconds later. Can I tell you how sick I am of filling the toy bin to just have the girls think I did...

The Festivities

Image
fes · tiv ·i· ty n. pl. fes · tiv ·i·ties 1. A joyous feast, holiday, or celebration; a festival. 2. The pleasure, joy, and gaiety of a festival or celebration. 3. festivities The proceedings or events of a festival. Noun 1. happy celebration: a spirit of joy and festivity That pretty much sums up our holidays perfectly! It all started with an all day Christmas Eve cheesy Lifetime movie marathon ( for me ); then once the girls were in bed for the night, I changed into my warm 'star' fleece pj's, curled up with a blanket and enjoyed a glass of (milk-diluted) egg nog complete with whipped cream and nutmeg sprinkled on top. Tony and I watched a couple more Christmas movies together and I just looked at him and said "This is the perfect Christmas Eve." I was so content and happy. And it was so good to feel that way. We didn't have to GO anywhere and we didn't have to DO anything. Sometimes, especially around the 'Holidays', we get overwhelmed with w...
