My sweeties

Love being home with my sweet hearts! Heading back to work in two weeks and although it will be nice to get back into my routine, I will miss being home with the girls.

Beer and Smiles

Quinn has been smiling so much lately. She started at about 6 weeks- Isley didn't smile until 8 weeks so at first I didn't think they were real smiles, but they are. She is starting to coo a little too- I love when they start to interact. She smiles biggest when Isley and I sing "Peter, Peter Pumpkin Eater" to her.
Getting ready to play in the snow. She has had the same coat since she was 6 months old so I finally bought a new one for next year. She has worn it a few times this winter though- to break it in.

For some reason every time Isley sees beer she grabs one for Corey and brings it to him or puts in his spot at the table. It is pretty funny. As long as she doesn't drink any...

My days and nights

On maternity leave in this weather I have to find lots of things for us to do. We hit the gym for stroller bootcamp 3x a week, try to jog outside another 3 times, head to the river to run around and fee the ducks, or walk to one of the many elementary schools nearby. If it is really nasty out (our 60 mph winds a few weeks ago) we head to the mall and play on the toys and ride the escalator. Anyway-here are some pics of our days.

Hard to get a good pic of the 3 of us by myself.

Every night (and nap time) the three of us jump into bed and read a few books. Then we do lights off (and Isley has about 6 things she has to do before she gets settled in to waste time!), snuggle, talk, go through our nursery rhymes and sing a little. Isley is a bit talker at bed time. Sometime right before she zonks out she will blurt out funny things- the last one was that Ash shouldn't potty on Koal. All in all it takes about an hour before I am outta there. But I wouldn't trade it for anything- I enjoy the snuggle time with my girls.

Double Jogger

The double stroller made it, but the weather has not been corporating. We have made it out a few times, but now the snow has been coming and the wind has been howling. Oh well- I have been able to get out about 4 times a week so that makes a big difference. The girls seem to like jogging!
