After Christmas

It seems as though we got ready for babies' first Christmas, and it went by with such a blur. The girls loved it, and now, there are shreads of paper that need to be vaccuumed up...to finish up the Christmas cheer.
Santa came in good fashion. He brought a choo-choo train for the girls to share, with cute zoo animals on it. They love the songs and flashing lights. Songs of Santa Claus is coming to town made the girls squeal in delight, and the pictures too. It was so fun to see the smiles and hear the giggles. I can't wait until the girls are older, of course next year will be bows, boxes and ribbon will be the hit!
Santa was very good to me. I love to cook...and Rachel Ray is one of my favs...Santa brought me the Rachel Ray Furo knife set and the stainless steel cooking set. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
We are now ready to welcome the new year, and I will welcome going back to work (joy) I wish I could be a Stay at Home Mom...but we have to make ends meet at some point. We get by for now, but will have trouble in the future if I don't go back to work soon.
The girls are happy and healthy, they brought delight to my 2007, making it one of the best years of my life!
I will work on downloading pictures of Christmas...for now I will relive the memories and the smiles.

Cookies

You know it is Christmas when in my home you can smell the tree, and an underlying tone of Chocolate. I love baking for Christmas....mmm....I love to share. This year, is the year of many cookies and candies. I hope that everything turns out!

Rich is going to be in charge of the rice Krispie treats....and I will just make the cookies. Looking forward to my parents being here for the girls first Christmas! It will be a ton of fun.

Three Months

Wow-
The girls are now three months old. I can't believe how quickly time is going by! They are growing so fast, and learning so many things each day. They took their pics this last Sat. I had to share them with you all....

Sleeping through the night

I never thought the day would come. Last night, we went about our normal routine, just a little later than normal. We gave the girls their bottles, followed by a bath. Then at 10:00 the girls were put in their cribs. About 10 minutes later, they both needed their binkies to be placed in their mouths. Then at 11:00 I crawled into bed. The next think I know is I hear my hubby getting ready for work, eating his cereal....it is 6:30 in the morning, I ran to the girls room. All was well they were snoring.

I got up and made some Tea, and checked my email. Then at 7:30 I hear "talking" coming from the nursery....10 hours of sleep!

a WOMAN CAN GET USED TO THIS SORT OF THING!

3 months

Today, the girls turned 3 months old. It is amazing how quickly time flies once your Little ones are born. The girls are my pride and joy. They are growing so much, and learning something new everyday. They are smiling more, and have learned what their hands are. They are beginning to soothe themselves in the middle of the night, finding their index finger or thumb to help them out.

I am starting to get sleep again, too. It is very hard not to wake up and wonder if everything is ok, then one will cough or rustle in her bed to make me feel better.

Now we are patiently waiting for Christmas. Our tree is decorated, the house is lined in lights. We have gone to see Santa at the local mall, and we got to even eat breakfast with Santa as well.

It is the most wonderful time of the year, and now is even better that I have my girls in my life. I needed them, and they needed me. They are angels in everyway. I am blessed each day when I see them smile, hear them cry, and even change those diapers.
