Getting out...

after a very long week of taking care of sick babies and a sick husband, we were excited that we we're all up for the balloon festival Sunday evening. it's pretty magical to watch so many hot air balloons go up in the sky at the same time. Aiden was absolutely amazed by it all and could not stop saying wow. Ella on the other hand wasn't impressed, she wanted us to let her go and run free through the fields. literally she tried to make a break for it every chance she could get. can't blame the girl though, it probably would have been fun to run through a field with a hundred hot air balloons above you flying high. sorry Ell, but you're only one.

our week

it's been a rough week for me. sick babies, sick husband, and not being able to get out of the house, not a good match.

the little man has a double ear infection and a awful bad cough, so to say the least he's been needing a lot of attention. although miss Ella doesn't have an ear infection, she still feels pretty darn crappy with her cold.

i'm hoping this weekend we can fully recover and get back to our normal routine by next week. the twins and I are in desperate need to get out of the house as soon as possible.

sick days here

the twins are still dealing with this awful cold. and the husband has been hit hard with a stomach bug of some sort.

oh yes it's fun being me right now.

a few minutes of alone time on the porch is much needed and helps me get through. to be able to sit out on the porch and smell the salty air and listen to the sea gulls is just what I need, even if it is only for a few minutes.

Please immune system don't fail me now

Sharing

twins share everything, including these awful colds. let's hope they won't be sharing with mama.

22 months today

when we brought you both home from the hospital I remember thinking how are these two precious babies really mine. how is this possible that they really are mine. now I can't remember what it was like to not have you both in my life. motherhood has done amazing things, thank you.

Aiden right now at 22 months you love watching planes fly by, driving your toy cars, throwing things, watching the boats, running from the oceans tide,
and you give the sweetest kisses.
Ella right now at 22 months you love your babies, you're very motherly and like to wrap them up in a blanket and feed them a bottle, you like to walk around in my shoes and wear my scarves, you give very big hugs, and last week we gave you your first pony tail.
you both love to count to ten, not alway in order but you have one thru five down. you both love to have dance parties with me and sing wheels on the bus. it melts my heart when we say our prayers together and you both fold your hands so nicely and say amen.
happy 22 months babies...

getting out

it's not easy getting out the door with twins, especially when you're running solo for the day. but since we were stuck indoors all day yesterday, I knew we just had to get out. and it was totally worth it, just seeing them run around the playground together (sometimes even holding hands) just made my day. Ella's new thing right now is to lead Aiden around telling him "come on", it's the sweetest thing ever. we're lucky Aiden is a good brother and just goes right along. it was a nice quiet morning at the park with my babies, and I have to mention the smell of the pine trees at this park was amazing.

a rainy day

it rained, it rained hard today. i don't know about you but i love a rainy day. a cool rainy day when you have nowhere to go is just perfect. the twins and i wore comfy clothes and hung around the house all day watching the rain fall over the water. we ate good food and listened to good music while just enjoying our rainy day.

so why start a blog...

this here is my little space to document and journal about my life. a way for me to document this precious time called parenthood that seems to be flying by at warped speed. those little moments that I want to remember and bottle up and never let go, here I hope to do just that.
