Peace and Tranquility
One of my favorite parts of the day is right when the first baby wakes up typically before anyone in the house is awake. I always get out of the bed and bring my pillow and blankie (which is mine since I was born) up the stairs in hopes that the awake twin will go back to sleep. This is not usually the case. 90% of the time it is Tyler who is squeaking around 6:15. This morning as my usual I bring him down and keep him all swaddled up and the two of us turn the fire on, keep the room dark and slowly watch the win come up out of the window. The house is so quiet at this time you could hear a mouse stir.
It is always a new day a new refreshing start to our wild and crazy life with four little ones that I wouldn't change for anything. In that peace and quiet I thank the Lord for all of these blessings in my life.

All dressed up and no where to go…?
Oh excuse me… all dressed up and off to the bowling alley! This for the bowling alley?
Yes m'am… her faux fur dress and trying to blow-dry and style her hair. First grade has come and with that has come all the girlieness! She LOVES to get into my makeup for blush and mascara… amazingly enough you should see her put it on. She has a real nack for it. If she could put blush on every morning she would. She loves to check herself out after she puts everything on and her hair is all done.

Look who's two months old today
Day by day these two little precious pieces become more and more alert and continue to sleep less and less. They take a good nap in the morning and a good nap in the afternoon. They are very happy babies and really enjoy when they know the other is right by them. Their big brother and sister both love them but they are not really interactive enough for them. They still really don't have much interest in them. Juliette said the other day, "Mommy the babies are so adorable and now they really look human." Tripp just continues to ask, "Which one is dat?"
As they get older the interest in them will grow. It has been a cold winter and we have had only one or two decently warm days that we were able to get outside and take a walk. The little guys both had RSV and that was not fun! They were both miserable with the strand of a cold that is so hard on infants. We are glad to be over that hump!
So far I have learned that one key to surviving twins is to make sure that both do not get hungry at the same time. I have found my two arms at certain times able to do more things than I ever thought possible including feeding a bottle to one with one arm and holding the other baby with the other arm. Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself. Two crying babies at once will not give a good feed to either baby.

Cookies or Cupcakes anyone?
We had a bake sale going on today on a cold day! Nanette, Danette and Isabella originally planned to sell their goodies. That is until they tasted how delicious they were and had their own party with a Frozen theme. Danette is Anna and Isabella is Elsa.
