A Few of Their Favorite Things

Ella (she thought she was hiding in the guest room during our fussy period, but we found her!)

Books! We've been reading Owen, Emmaline and the Bunny, I Love You Through and Through (thanks Grandma!), Hippos Go Berserk and Barnyard Dance (thanks cousins Fletcher, Shilo and Kyla!)




Musical Seahorses (they remind me of GloWorms), which have been a lifesaver getting them to calm down and go to sleep. They are also loving their sleep positioners, which have helped with the reflux.

Not pictured: Soothie pacifiers (we have about a dozen to quickly replace when one falls), Skip Hop Farm Blocks, play gym, sound machine (more help sleeping!), the painting behind the couch (apparently mesmerizing to a newborn) and....MOMMY (ha, had to do it, and no, pictures just aren't an option at the moment).

Last week Owen and Emmaline had their two month appointment, and Owen weighed 8 lbs, 8 oz and Emmaline weighed 8 lbs 4 oz. Still in newborn clothing though!

I'm starting to leave more on the weekends without babies, and this past Saturday I went to a Junior League brunch, which was so much fun (mimosas, yay!) and nice to catch up with everyone. I'm taking a Sabbatical this year from the League, which means I'm still a member but don't have a volunteer commitment. I'll pick it up again next year, but knew it would be tough this year!

Vince has been working on the guest bedroom this weekend, painting and adding crown molding and trim. It really does look great, he's pretty talented at the home improvement thing, though thankfully we didn't need a lot on this house! :) The room will be ready for our friends Sarah, Bryan and baby Luke this weekend!
