Thanksgiving

This year I am so thankful for so many wonderful things. Family, who knew my life would provide me with an instant family when I married but then twins to boot. Friends, souls whom I am so close to I would call us sisters. Shelter & food, thank you Lord for all that you provide even when I forget to be thankful. TO all my family, blessings to you and then some.

Cutie Pies

Today I spent the afternoon with my 4 of my best girlfriends. We were visiting Karen and her 2 cute new twin baby girls. They are so dang cute and smelled so sweet. I miss the tiny baby age. They look great and all are doing well. Karen and Joe you are doing awesome as new parents. It will be nice when we can get together more often. Since it has been so long since we have gotten together here is a more recent photo of my girls. This is our first trip to the pumpkin patch. Sarah is on the left with Emma on the right. Of course getting them to look directly at mommy never ever happens. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Enough Already

The girls & I have been sick for well over a week now. I think we just keep passing it back and forth. Even Grandpa caught this nasty cold. Sarah & I are doing this horrible cough and we sound like seals. Emma seems to have the least of the cold. I am the worst with Sarah in second place. I just want cold & flu season to be over. But since they are toddlers we are bound to catch every new bug out there. It has something to do with building their immunity but I have had enough already. This is like our 3rd or 4th cold since September. It is never anything really awful just enough to make you feel yucky and tired. OF COURSE I HAVE HAD ENOUGH. But when does God ever listen to me. HAHAHAHA!

All Over

After reading my girls blogs (Belinda & Karen), I too am glad that this Election is over and finally decided. I second Karen's statement that I love to vote and have taken every chance to vote since signing up for my card as a senior in high school. Belinda I am proud of you for voting this year and helping make history. Now let's see what Obama can do.

Traveling Girls

It's been a few weeks since I lasted posted. We have been a busy group. While my in-laws were here we traveled to Orlando to go to Seaworld. They brought tickets for the whole family so we took the opportunity to take the girls. They had a great time, but Michael & I were totally exhausted and frustrated with each other by the end of the day. And of course my daughters had a huge meltdown on the way home. BUT, despite the challenges they did have fun and we got them on video and lots of pictures...so one day we can show them their first big theme park trip. Also the girls have joined their first official play group and surprisingly they did not cling to mommy but played and played and played. I am so relieved. Last night we passed out Halloween candy to all our trick or treators and boy did we have some fun. Anyway happy November 1st to everyone...Turkey is next...yum, yum.

Family Ties

This past week my in-laws have been in town visiting. No one really understands the work involved in hosting your family, especially one that is still new to you and is very different then your own. I want to feel like a family member but somehow I still feel like an outsider. Kinda weird. But the girls have adjusted to their relatives very quickly and laugh it up and play and play. Oh to be so innocent and not jaded. Happy Week all....

Cleaning Closets

Today the girls and I cleaned their closet. When I say we I really mean just me. Although the girls do a great job of taking everything out of their closet and strewing them about their room. This is quite a challenge but I found a new/old toy in their closet that they had not played with yet. It was a tea set and let me tell you they loved it. Although it came with spoons and yes my child Emma tried to choke herself with them. UGH! Why do we still put everything in our mouths......Happy Thursday y'all.
