The girls are growing up right befor our very eyes... I hardly know where to begin at this point!

First, I miss my babies.  I look back at all of these sweet photos here and can hardly remember the sleepless nights, how we NEVER turned the tv off for 6 months straight in our bedroom, the shhhhshing in th hallway, the spitup, and so on... but I VIVIDLY remember snuggling...nursing my babies with one eye open...and all the invaluable help I had from friends and family.

It hasnt exactly gotten easier, just different.  We get more sleep now, so we have more patience ;)

Our summer was spent taking some fun classes where we learned our ABCs, colors and shape and our FAVORITE farm class where we got to ride horses!  They were both naturals on the pony. We watched as most of the children screamed and wanted nothing to do with it, but not my two! They wanted me to let go so they could ride off into the sunset! GramC bought a cabin in Big bear so we enjoyed taking so quick weekend trips as well.  The girls enjoy the fresh air up there so much! Once a week we frequent Disneyland... The girls are SO sweet... they hold hands and listen very well when we are there for the most part.  Their favorite rides are; the carousel (the horsies!), Small World, Monsters Inc, Tea Cups, Alice in Wonderland, and Winnie the Pooh. we have taken them on many more.. but, thses ar the ones that they will ask for.

Charlotte - SHE is turning out to have quite the personality. She loves to push me and her Dada... And shes got the voice on her.  Lately she repeats EVERYTHING (so watch what you say!). A couple of days ago I asked her how old she was and she answered "2!" (we've been working on this for our birthday) then I asked her how old I was and she said "OLD!" She's got quite the sense of humor on her! Once we started laughing at her she just kept with the joke...she knows its funny now!  Char has def turned into a snuggle bug. She will lay in our arms and say "baby" and expect us to rock her. She is VERY good at giving kisses. So good, that when I watch her playing on her own, she is making everything kiss eeachother... its very cute.

Raechelle - Is my good girl. She is very even keel and listens to us for the most part.  She loves to sit and read... he will just keep getting up and grabbing more books for hours if you let her. She is CRAZY good at puzzles and can sit and figure most any of them out.  Rae is mostly quiet, although she can say all her works... it just seems like she knows her sister will answer, so she lets her. Her absolute favorite thing to play is night night... she will pull all the blankets out and arrange them on the ground (or on top of the cat) then lay down and have you tuck her in...along with, oh say 8 of her favorite stuffed animals...gosh is it cute... I gotta geta picture of it...

Eating.... somedays, everything, somedays nothing. favorites right now; mac n cheese, hot dogs, edamame, strawberries, corn on the cob (must be on cob!) and anything that you can dip dip dip!

Sleeping... We head to bead at 6 for a bath and aim to leave the room by 7. Room gets quiet anywhere from 7:30-8, but they wake at 6! IM not sure how to get them to sleep longer... Im counting the days till the time change.... Nap is from 12:30-3. They pretty consistantly sleep 2 hours... but now that I say that they'll sleep only 1 tomorrow...

Think Ill stop there. I really could go on forever!
