No longer surviving... We are thriving!

The girls are doing so many wonderful twin things. They are going off to play on their own upstairs! Giggling and laughing with delight. Although last time... it was because they took out all the clothes in their dresser!!!!! I actually knew what they were doing and let them have their fun. Then, I went upstairs all surprised and had them help me put the clothes back and talked about this is not ok!!! The next day I thought I heard the same thing but they were playing hide and seek in the closet!!! SO CUTE! Another time they were giggling upstairs and they were both in Sophia's crib tickling each other!!!! SO MUCH FUN! Not only do I see the light at the end of the tunnel... but we are dancing in the light. They have their own language and talk all the time. I will try to get this on video, but when they see the camera they stop! I will try!!!! They love playing with the boys, sitting with the boys to watch TV/movie. They love tea parties and playing ring around the rosies! It is so darling to watch them in action! I love my girly girls!!!

P.S. Sabrina has her 8th tooth! Sofi has all she should but her eye teeth!

Tradition Continued

I forgot to tell about something that happened at the hospital. Sabrina wasn't going to sleep with me in the room, so I told her I would be right back and stood outside her room for a few minutes to see if she would fall asleep. When I returned I peeked in her crib and she looks at me and with the sweetest and gentlest voice says, "Boo!". It was sooooo cute, it melted my heart! In the hospital all tied up and she was playing peek-a-boo with Mama.

Brushing our hair together is so fun!

A tradition continued. Before dinner when I was growing up, my mother would give me this mug and that very spoon and let me have a cup of sauce and bread with butter. When I moved she gave me the mug and spoon to keep! This was the girls first occasion of continuing the traditon!!!

One day the neighbor boys were playing with the girls. They have since picked THEIR GIRL! Brendan, aka Dundi, picks Sofi and Hunter, aka Nunner, picks Sabrina! You can see them in the background!

HAPPY EASTER!!!

Tyler was talking about Jesus today and how he rose from the dead... and I mentioned how he is in your heart because you asked. And he said, "I WANT TO DO THAT!" So, he did!!! He did when he was 4, but I think this is the one he will remember!!! SO EXCITING!!!
