Walkers, New Teeth, New Words and MORE

They're growing and there's no stopping them now! The girls are just shy of 14 months old (seriously where is this time going?) and it feels like they are changing every single day! 

We just celebrated Halloween! The girls were the cutest owls around and safely accompanied by Big Brother as the Hulk! We went trick or treating with the sweetest family - The Ritters. They're boys were superheroes too, so the owls were extra safe! While walking the neighborhood, the girls loved taking it all in. Emersyn kept clapping her hands and yelling "YAY!" where Everly decided that a nap was better fitting for the occasion. 

Everly is walking everywhere and as often as she can! She's still a bit wobbly, which is one of the cutest things ever, but she is determined to take off running. Emersyn not so much! Anyone who knows Emersyn knows that she likes to take things at her own pace. Just because her sister is doing it, doesn't mean that she will. She likes to surprise us. And while Everly is walking around, she is either army crawling or giving you that irresistible look that says "pick me up"! 

These two are the busiest girls I know! They play and explore from sun up to sun down. And if I'm tired, it's because I am always on the move chasing them wherever they go! Sometimes I think to myself "why on earth am I so tired?" and then I think about all of the running and lifting that happened that day. I wouldn't trade it for the world, because I know that one day they will be grown and these days will be a distant memory. 

The girls are getting two more teeth as well for a total of six teeth a piece! They're teething schedules have remained in synch for the whole year! Crazy, huh? Sometimes they are so different, yet so much alike. 

The girls love to say "Bye" and flail their little arms whenever they get the chance, except it sounds like "BAH"! Cutest thing ever! Sometimes I say "Bye" even when I'm not leaving just to hear them say it. 

Now we're gearing up for the holidays! Christmas shopping for three kids is a new experience for this momma! But it's so much fun! So until next time "BAH!"

Snow Days....for Real

  Expectation Reality Screaming yelling and fighting by 8:30 a.m.  Mom chugging coffee.  Dad trying to have work calls while trying to pretend there isn't screaming in the background. Dog paw prints all over the floors.  Instant headache.  Thinking about having a good cry.  Kicking the kids outside.  Kid takes snowball to the face. More tears.  All of the deep breaths. Trying to maintain my work ethic.  Longing for spring and realizing it's very far away.  Wishing I was in my quiet office.  Setting a time to drink wine. 

Dancing Around Your Thoughts

Today I looked in the mirror and thought "good grief my eyes look so tired today." It's one of those days where there's just not enough concealer and you need that second or third cup of coffee. Most of my blogs are typically silly and about rocking the mom life. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love it and wouldn't change it for the world. But we are all human and there are just certain things that can start to eat at you when kept within. Sometimes when you hold your emotions in, because you literally can't let it out in front of your littles, it can make you feel like you are going to explode. It can make you freaking crazy. In those moments, I tend to take mine and channel them into a good sweat. But sometimes we just need to talk things out. One of the toughest aspects of my current stage of mom life is when you have something on your heart. Whether you are dealing with some crazy emotions, someone you care about has hurt your feelings, you've...

The Last Firsts

At this time last year, this day felt so far away! My girls are turning one in just two days! Some might say "We made it!" And while I'm so incredibly proud of not only myself and my husband for raising two precious baby girls at the same time, I'm also so proud of these two beauties and who they are becoming. This time last year I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was miserably pregnant, hot and just ready for the next phase in our lives. Now I look back and think to myself, that was the last time that I would ever experience pregnancy. Everything that we've experienced over this last whirlwind of a year was for the last time. I remember leaving the maternity ward in a wheelchair with our new bundles in tow. I looked back and my eyes filled with tears, because having spent so much time there last year for testing, I got to know the nurses and I realized that I wouldn't be back.  Everyone told us how challenging this would be; that raising two babies w...
