Update on my Mother In Law and Etc....

Thanks for all of the well wishes and support and prayers for Tony's mother. She was sent home from the hospital last week and she continues to re-gain her strength every day. We are so blessed to have caught everything so quickly that permanent damages will be very minimal. We've missed having her around for the last few weeks. But we are so glad she is doing so well! (In case you missed the scoop, you can read my previous blog post to find out).

Today we moved Ashleigh and Avery into the same bedroom. Yikes. They were really not happy. They spent the better part of 2 hours crying. No, make that SCREAMING. Avery managed to sleep about 40-45 minutes through Ash's constant protesting. We are pretty sure they called their lawyers. So...we are not their favorite people right now, and I can understand why. Avery has been alone nearly a year so having a new roommate kinda throws a wrench into things. Ashleigh has never liked change, so we knew for sure she would hate it. We just have to wait a few days and hope that it all turns out like we want it--- with sleep being had. Especially by mommy and daddy. :)

Which bring us to---we are sick---again! Dang doctors office! The girls get sick every time we get shots. And this time I got it too. Luckily the worst for me is over. It's pretty much just been a two day-er. So we haven't slept for a while again. The girls HATE being stuffy. They can't eat, they can't sleep--it's just horrible and makes for tired and hungry babies. This makes for really, really, really long days and nights. I think we turned a corner today. So, of course, we had to do something to make things harder. Who would want things to be easy?? Not us...we thrive on challenges!! Ha. That, or we're dumb..... :)

There is going to be a big baby boom over the next few weeks so I want to say good luck to everyone and I'm so excited for you all!! Hope you have quick recoveries and lots of sleep!

Update: Ashleigh and Avery slept through the night together in the same room!!! Yayyyyy! They cried off and on for about 1.5 hours but then after that (and some praying...) they fell asleep! We are ecstatic!

Congrats on the roomates sleeping through the night! Our family is sick too I think it's going around. Sean says everyone in the library is coughing and sneezing. Also it's good to hear that Tony's mom is doing better. Hope you all get better soon!

The sharing a room thing will get better, trust me. When we first moved Brock in with Jake, Brock just wanted to party. But now they sleep great together! I'm glad your MIL is doing well!

"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

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...
