I feel bad for not posting more often. I just don't have the time...I know you understand. Life is pretty crazy around here, and we are lucky if at one time during the day, all three girls are sleeping. God has blessed us with these wonderful kiddos, and they aer growing intellectually, physically, and emotionally everyday.

 

 

Josie is an incredible two year old (going on 20). At the doctor's they ranked her as doing some 4 year old things. She knows 7 shapes, regularly sings her ABC's, memorized countless songs and books, counts to 20, jumps everywhere, stacks blocks 12 high, colors wonderfully (really, she holds her pencil perfectly and can color inside the lines), she draws faces, and she is sooooo helpful!! She is also an avid swimmer. Josie, with water wings, jumps into pools without fear. She is the only two year old I know that loves the diving board, and does not hesitate. This is not the end of this list, she is absolutely amazing. She is taller everyday and her beautiful blond locks are to die for.  Don't let her fool you though, is can be a monster, which she loves to say and show hand motions.

 

 

Dave and I often look at our twins and can't imagine them when they were so little and small. Weighing a little over 5 pounds when we left the hospital, 7 months later, Kelly is pushing 19 pounds, and Leanna is around 17 pounds.

 

 

Kelly is go cute and pudgy. Her legs have the thickest fat rolls. Poor thing though, this makes her a bit behind her sister. Leanna is crawling and already pulling up to anything around. At least Kelly has her bottom two teeth, and Leanna has none. Still the easiest way to tell them apart, is that Leanna has the longer hair. They both babble and talk all the time, saying nana, papa, baba, dada, mama consistently.

They eat incredible amounts of food. Putting us to the store VERY often, they take 20 or more ounces a day, with rice cereal twice, a jar of fruit in the morning, jar of veggie in the afternoon, and a jar of meat in the evening. Kelly only usually cries when food is involved.

Leanna on the other hand is a mama's girl, to a T. She crawls straight for me, and only wants to be picked up and held, all the time.

 

 

Dave watches the three girls three times a week now (and Cathy-Dave's mom-twice a week, thank you!!!), as I have started back to work. But not to teach this year, I found a part time position at our Church, St. David. Here they brought over a preschool, and from 7-12 I am in the front office. This is actually pretty nice. I have no stress of the classroom, the hours are shorter, and I don't have to take anything home with me. And the best part of all...I can be with my girls more often! Just what I wanted.
