We've had a few busy weekends, and I'm looking forward to the upcoming long labor day weekend of doing absolutely nothing!
Mia will start 3 mornings a week preschool with a lot of her friends/classmates from last year. I'm sure she'll enjoy it and I hope her sharing skills have improved. We've really tried to work on it this summer, but we'll see... We keep telling ourselves that her assertiveness and self confidence will serve her well later in life :)
Ellie has started "eating" solid foods. So far she's had rice cereal, oatmeal, sweet potatos, avocados and green beans. She liked the avocados the best but she still just seems to roll the food around in her mouth and get it all over her face more than she's actually eating. Which is adorable and fine by me!
Sean has several travel possibilities coming up for work and I'm trying not to get too anxious about it. I know lots of people deal with much more travel than we do, but it is still hard when he's gone! We miss him (and his bathtime duties) :)
We have our 8 year anniversary coming up! I was showing Mia our wedding album recently and she can't quite grasp why she wasn't there :) We've had so much fun these past 8 years and will have even more fun with our girls by our side.
Camera is still broken so here are some recent photos from Maddie's princess party that Alexis took.
Happy end of summer!!
I don't know if it is just me, but some days I can go from complete bliss to complete blah or worse in about three seconds. Lately I've been struggling with these ups and downs as I continue to adjust to life with two little ones.
Case in point: Yesterday afternoon was rough. The girls weren't napping, it was rainy and the house was messy. To top it off, Amelia broke my camera, for good this time. I was grumpy to say the least. We brought out some playdoh and cookie-cutters and Mia just transformed. All on her own she made me a heart cookie and told me she loved me "super" much. It is little ups and downs like these that sometimes make me feel crazy, but in the end remind me that playdoh hearts make my world look a lot better.
I would have taken a picture, but the camera was making funny noises and the lens refuses to open. Sigh...
What's been going on with us?
- Mia's Birthday party was a blast! We had family and friends in town, a great time bouncing at the Orb Family Fun Center, and delicious cake! She loves telling people she is three now. She had her 3-year checkup and is doing great! She's average weight, above average height and totally potty trained, including nights!
- I love going to the pool. It is relaxing, Mia has fun with all the toys and kids, and usually naps well afterwards, and Ellie usually naps while we are there.
- Ellie is in her crib full time! She slept from 8:30 to 5:30 last night, then back down until 9!! I think it helps that she can roll over now, and she's sleeping on her tummy.
- I'm ready for fall. I know it must sound weird, but I'm done with summer. It is HOT and it has been challenging to stay busy, yet keep to a nap schedule for Ellie and Mia. I love the beginning of school and I'm ready for it to start!
- I'm finally updating our photo album site with all of the latest photos. And a few lucky grandparents will be getting some printouts of photos in a few days/weeks? Hopefully sooner than later :)
Until next time, enjoy some more pictures! Love xoxo to all!
P.S. The blog formatting has changed and I'm too lazy to figure it all out right now, so I apologize for any weirdness... will try to work on it next time:)
