16 Months!

Max and Claire are 16 Months!! (5/22).  We are headed to a day of wedding festivities, so their update will have to wait.

Couldn't resist posting their adorable faces ;)

Last day of school

Today was Max and Claire's last day of Mother's Morning Out until September! I almost  teared up when I picked them up! I love their teachers!! AND I'm going to miss my eight hours a week!

What To Expect

Last night I went to see What To Expect When You are Expecting.  It was really cute.  It covered the basics of pregnancy, miscarriage, twins, and complications with birth. It may or may not have given me baby fever ;)

On an unrelated note... I'm not sure if I have mentioned, but a few weeks ago, I signed up for 10 personal training sessions at our gym.  I am six sessions in and love it - but I haven't lost any weight, in fact, I have gained a few pounds.  We have done measurements once since the first session and I have lost 1 inch around waist, 1 around chest and .5in around my arm.  I went in saying I wasn't going by weight, just inches, but I don't get gaining a few pounds.  It is really bothering me.  I am going to try to "write what I bite" this week to see if I am doing something different.

Showers

We had another busy weekend.  I went to a baby shower, cookout and bridal shower brunch.
The cookout was so much fun.  We haven't had a night with these friends in a while and they are pretty awesome!  Sadly, I don't have any pics - BUT I do have some great ones from the brunch today.  It was for my Aunt Ann who is getting married next Friday!
The hostesses did an amazing job.  The food was SO delicious :) I had seconds and wish I had thirds!

The Bride-to-be!

The fabulous Hostesses!

Beautiful flowers from her yard

Speaking of yard.... One of the hostesses has six chickens.  My mom keeps saying we need to get some chickens for Max and Claire - then today a lightbulb went off for her... she is determined to get some for her house! 

Me, Mom, Ann, and cousin Hannah

Looking forward to next weekend's festivities ;)

One For The Money

Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum Novels are my favorite! I am currently reading Explosive Eighteen and still laugh the way I did in One For The Money.
Tonight, Justin and I decided to rent a movie and I was excited when he agreed on One For The Money.  Sadly, I was disappointed.  I'm not sure I would have even liked it if I hadn't already the book.  The acting was poor and i don't think they did a good job portraying the characters.... but I guess that's how it goes.

On another note, Max and Claire seem to be feeling better.  Still a little fussy, but that's to be expected!  We are looking forward to a full night sleep :)

Double

Part of the joy with having twins is double the sickness.  Saturday, we took Max to the doctor -he had double ear infection.  He has still been feeling bad and running a low grade temp.  Claire woke up this morning with a 100.6 temp... a little high for the morning.  We decided it was best to make an appt for both to see what was going on.  Turns out Max's ears are still red and he also has Coxackie virus.  It is contagious so Claire will probably have it in a few days.  After checking out the Max Man, Dr checked Claire and she too has a double ear infection. Yay!
It's not easy when they are both sick, because they both want extra attention and both want to be held without the other in my lap.  Hopefully they will feel better quick so we can all enjoy our weekend together!

Sweet Peas!

I am so blessed to be a Mom to these two!  They are my everything and all I have ever dreamed of and more!
How could I not have a wonderful Mother's Day when I got to spend it with Max, Claire and my wonderful husband?!
We started the day off with church, then headed to have a picnic at the park!  Max and Claire were more interested in Mommy and Daddy's chips than me!

bahaha! Look at Claire's face! Max must have taken a chip from her!

We ended the day by having dinner with my Mom and Dad.  Justin, Max, Claire and I are so blessed to have such wonderful Moms! (and dads!)

Dad grilled chicken wings and Italian chicken (my favorite).  Max and Claire started getting antsy, so we let them have a chicken leg!

haha!  they were being so silly!
