A Better Few Days

Boy do the days go by fast when you have 2 little ones. But these little rounders are worth it and Robin decided we are for sure keeping them both. No chance we are taking one back. The past couple days they have really been getting the hang of this nap thing. Or at least part of it. The are both going down to sleep really well. Typically, they only fuss just a little and only for a couple minutes before they soothe themselves to sleep. Now we just need that 45min nap monster to quit raring its ugly head. Today, he showed up once as a dirty diaper and once without cause. But during one nap, both girls slept for 1.5hrs. And during another nap, Addi slept for 2hrs. Do you know what that translates to in mommy time? Shower, cocktail, taped Oprah show, cocktail, nap, shower again... And daddy got to do laundry, vacuum, yard work, bathrooms... Well, it didn't allow for all of that but it does make a huge difference in how the right amount of sleep really helps them get through the day happy! Hopefully we are on the right track and continue to build on this.

Here are some pics from an enjoyable weekend as a family.

We went outside to take some pictures in the yard since the Azelias are blooming.

While mommy went to Weight Watchers for her weekly moment of zen, daddy got to spend some one on two time with the girls. We had a lot of fun playing on the couch - practicing sitting up, playing with crinkle book, and smiling away.

Somehow I even managed to take this picture of myself holding Emma
