Where did my babies go?

and who are these little kids that are now living in my house???? :)

random

a few pics of us just goofing around and a few of J and L on their first day of "school" aka Mother's morning out! They are talking up a storm and into everything... I am really starting to wonder if we are going through some of our "terrible 2s" now... they are an extreme handful, and testing me already. But with these passionate personalities come some very sweet compassionate spirits! I couldn't ask for more! (there are a few other new posts below)

nonna and dadaddy

Nonna and Dadaddy came to visit last week... and man, these kiddos love them, and the feeling is mutual. Glad they made it on a non-sick weekend! haha

Christmas

Christmas was extra fun this year with these toddlers... too much fun! I could not get over how Lucy went straight to the doll nursery and Jack went straight for the basketball goal... I never once said whose presents were whose, and really they were all for them both! I would love to see my princess shoot some hoops and my little man learn how to take care of babies... it will make him a good daddy one day ;) but they were not interested... so funny!

FINALLY!

I have finally figured out how to blog on my ipad... just a test post before I get back into blogging much more regularly. Just a few sweet faces before we can really get started on this thing! My parents are here this weekend, so we are taking it easy today and my mom and dad are babysitting tonight so Cal and I can actually have a date!!! SO excited!

for my memory...

Here are most of the words that J and L are saying at this point... I am sure that there are more... I just can't remember them all... I knew I would be so mad at myself if I didn't record them.
