April showers bring May flowers…
April 1st, 2010
Wow! I can’t believe it’s April! Ellie & Marcus will be a year old in just 2 weeks! It was beautiful out today, even after 5! It was nice that I was able to take the babies outside for a walk without bundling them up! Austin is visiting his cousins over spring break so it’s kinda quiet here. I think he sometimes makes more noise than the twins do together! I had surgery on Tuesday which seems to have gone well, have to follow up in a few weeks. I twistedmy ankle (again) but I suppose I’ll get over it. I always do. (-:
Still going through the paperwork and procedures for buying my house. And I thought the Army was nothing but paperwork and hurry up and wait… well now I know that bankers and realtors win the red tape prize! Waiting now for a letterof committment from the bank which my broker says is no problem… just some more paperwork. The seller is refusing to do the agreedupon repairs without the letter even though we have a singed amendment to the original offer. Whatever… glad my close is still 2 months away at the rate this is crawling along. Tenative move weekend is the last Saturday in May, Memorial Weekend – cause it gives me an extra day to unpack. But this is allreally in a holding pattern right now until the paperwork and repairs are done.
Anyhoo… I’m looking forward to warmer weather and being outside more with the kids and eventually (hopefully) being closer to my family.

*HC = Head Circumference
Ellie is a crawling machine and Marcus is getting there. He can pull himself along pretty quickly with his arms, he just hasn’t gotten his belly off the floor yet. They are both walking along the furniture and pulling themselves upon everything. The are both getting a top tooth to go with their bottom two. Ellie is hell on wheels in her walker… nothing in her reash is safe! Marcus still only goes backwards but he grabs all he can reach too.
The both love pancakes and orange juice on Saturday morning. Ellie likes to dance and Marcus likes to sing. Austin has already worked out all the instruments they are going to learn so the three of them can have a band.
It’s hard to believe that they will be turning 1 in a few short months… geez, where did the time go?

Don’t you wish it was you…

Your nose is sucked out
Your little tooth is brushed
Your face is washed
Your butt is dry and huggied
You are in a warm bed in a dark room
You have your soft blanket and your favorite plushie
You have a fresh bottle of water
And best of all your mommy gave you good night kisses
Nighty-night little monkies

New photo album

Trying out a new photo album… it seems to be a little cleaner looking with faster navigation. Still working on the look and feel of it. And the pics are not all commented or in any order, so bear with me on that one!

Twinnie Exercise Time!
Baby Ellie and Baby Marcus on their playmat. Ellie practices holding her head up while Marcus perfects the ancient art of toe-eating. Ellie did roll-over, before and after I was recording. She’s been going from belly-to-back for about a week and a half now. Marcus can go from back-to-belly but not often.
