Catching up

I know it's been a long time...we've had some crazy weeks and have been rather busy lately. It all started about a 6 weeks ago when both of the girls AND Jeff all got sick. It ended up just being a little cold, but it was still a miserable week filled with coughing, running noses, and loads of whining...from all three parties :) haha. Actually Jeff did rather well and was still pretty good about helping out with the girls. His cold has actually turned into sinusitis and he's still trying to fully recover from it.

The last weekend of March Jeff and the girls spent the weekend at his mom's house while I went and spent the weekend with my sisters, sisters-in-law, mom, and oldest niece (well minus one). We went to Elko, NV (yes Elko - because it's a middle point for all of us) and spent a couple of days visiting, eating, playing games, snacking, reading, eating, relaxing, snacking, and even got in a little shopping in too. It was great to get away for a couple of days but I was also glad to come home and see Jeff and the girls again. In fact, whenever we're at Jeff's mom's house the girls get a little antsy whenever I'm not in the room.

Other than those two main things we've stayed busy with every day things. The girls are rolling and playing and constantly busy. Emmalyn now sits up on her own like a pro and Brooklyn is quite the little jabber-box. I still babysit another little girl, just two months younger than Emmalyn and Brooklyn, in the mornings Monday thru Friday.

I'm so excited that the weather is finally getting warmer. It was really warm one day last week so Jeff's sister, Jen, and I took the girls to the zoo. I remembered to put the camera in the diaper bag but then ended up leaving the diaper bag in the van. Oh well, we're sharing a season pass with my brother and sister-in-law so I'm sure we'll be going there plenty. In fact, there's another visit in the works for this weekend :)

Well that's whats been going on around here lately, so here's what you're really wanting...some cute pictures of the girls!!

Playing "train" with daddy. (Brooklyn left, Emmalyn right)

Brooklyn - notice her sock she's holding on to and had been chewing on

The girls in their new Spring dresses (Emmalyn left, Brooklyn right

Chillin on our bed one morning

Emmalyn - she doesn't use that bumbo chair anymore, but this was such a cute picture.

She would always grab her foot like that and most the time her toes went in her mouth.
