Mother's Day

This past Sunday was Mother's Day. I had such a special day. When the girls woke up Nelson went and got them. They came in and gave me kisses and hugs. Then, Nels let me sleep while he fed the girls and made me pancakes. The 3 of them brought me my panckakes, and the girls snuggled in bed with me and helped me eat them :) It was really nice. Then, we went to church and the Outback for lunch. It was a great day.

Since then we've just been hanging out. Not doing too much of anything. Next week is busy...my friend, Anna, is coming into town and Sara's wedding stuff is next weekend. My sister and 2 of her friends are watching the girls Friday so we can go to the bachelor and bachelorette parties. Yay! Hopefully they don't get too overwhelmed with the overnight babysitting job :). We shall see....

The 9th??

So, I was reading e-mails last night, and the date caught my eye. It was the 9th! That meant my girls are 19 mo. old! That is closer to two than one! I had been at the park earlier with them, and parents asked me how old the girls were, and I said 18 months! Here, they were 19 months all day! Unbelievable...time really does fly!! The girls are doing something new everyday! Today they said soda as they went after Nelson's drink :). Brianna went to kiss me and put her little hands on my cheeks and it was so sweet. Mikayla is in Mikayla land a lot...she's our daydreamer and nurturer. It is so funny to watch her, and then out of nowhere she starts laughing like she had the funniest thought! Brianna is very loud, and hates to not be understood. She'll say the same thing 20 times until she's sure you understand her. She loves very deeply too. They are just amazing little people :). I really just pray we raise them to be nice, loving, respectful, strong women. I hope their hearts always stay so pure and wonderful.

Bambinos

There's a new baby in our group of friends. When we were at the hospital my husband said, "Oh no, now Tiffany's going to want a baby". Surprisingly enough, I don't. Not yet. It was nice to hold and lovingly look at the babe and then hand him back to his parents. I need more friends to have kids. It's nice cuddling a baby, and handing the baby back when the baby cries, needs something, or my arm is tired ;). I do want another baby eventually, and not too far off because I want a baby semi-close to the girls' age. Though, not soon. My girls have to be able to do more on their own first. They are very needy still :) Which is appropriate at their age, lol. My 2nd Mother's Day is this upcoming Sunday. Can't wait to see what Nelson and the girls are planning :).

Mikayla went #2 on the potty today for the first time! Ah, and you thought the last post would end the potty talk :). Other than that today consisted of going to Gymboree play class, then coming home, eating lunch, napping, and playing some more. The girls' "witching" hour, as my husband and I lovingly refer to it, begins around 5 and lasts until 6:30 when they eat. It's awful! They are whiny and unless completely entertained, just plain unbearable. Don't get me wrong. These 21 pounds of wonderful-ness can whine every now and then...but why every night at the same time?? We try to go somewhere when Nelson gets home from work just to make it better. Some days I am tired, and don't feel like going anywhere though. This too shall pass I'm sure :). Mikayla has learned how to take her shirt off...so now when I put her to bed for nap off comes her shirt. When she's playing off comes her shirt. It looks like I'm going to have to just put onesies on her ;). It's pretty funny though.

Tomorrow I have a business meeting for my twins club...yay for a night out!
