Where do I begin….

Well I guess I should start by saying Happy 10-Months to my girls!!! It has been a long time since my last post - so since the New Year here’s a list of things that are new with the girls:
- Bottom teeth fully in and top teeth are poking through
- Holding their bottles all by themselves, just starting with sippy cups
- They are crawling full speed, pulling themselves up on the furniture, and can cruise around the furniture
- Both are saying Dada, Baba –but no Mama yet
- They LOVE Cheerios and yogurt
- Laugh hysterically every time I say “Meow”
- And of course they are both very excited that MSU is in the Final Four!!

We just got back from a long weekend in the Wisconsin Dells. We stayed at an indoor waterpark (Kalahari) and the girls had a blast!!! It was our first time going away with the girls and we had a really great time. The girls did pretty good in the car, but not sure we’ll ever attempt the 12 hour drive home to Michigan though. I’m happy to say that we finally took the girls out to dinner with us for the first, second, and third times while on our little vacation. Its been 10 months since we’ve been out to dinner – but we finally tried it and the girls did great! It wasn't as scary as I thought it might be. :)

The hubby is gearing up for a bathroom remodeling project . We’re starting with the master bathroom as his practice run….and then hopefully after that we’ll tackle the UGLY black and white bathroom in our basement. I’ll have to post a pic at some point because words can’t describe how ugly the bathroom is – it has a black toilet which to me is the creepiest thing in the world and I refuse to use it.

I've been pureeing like crazy.....everything from Bananas to Broccoli. All kinds of goodness for the girls. I'm kinda bummed that the girls will be grown out of that phase soon. (But very happy that we're almost done with formula!!!!)

Things at work are going well, the hubby and I just got promoted!! Hopefully the economy will turn around soon so we can see a pickup in business!

I guess I will keep this short and sweet and work on uploading many many pictures from the last couple months. A quick summary on the pics.... I've included our first walk of the season (it wasnt as cold as it looked), pics of the deer in our yard, misc pics around the house (the girls have the seem to have the same shirts on in multiple pics), pics of my purees, bathtime, etc, etc....Enjoy!!! I’ll try to make sure it doesn’t take me 2 months before my next post!
