It seems as if time is just flying by. I have tried to sit down and write something for several days now. It seems as if there is always something to do or someone to take care of. The problem with twins is you never get the full opportunity to take advantage of naps. By the time you get both of them down, you may have a few minutes before one wakes up, and they never take long naps on the same day. The nights have gotten a little better, but it never fails you think things are turning around and then the next night is awful. Lilly has started to get a tooth and makes her very figitity at night. Alex is doing better, but we are having to let him cry for a period. It seems like clockwork that he wakes up around 4:30 am. If we go get him, that's it, he's up for the morning. We have started to let him cry and eventually he will put himself back to sleep. I feel bad because Julian never cried himself to sleep. I haven't figured out if we are doing things a little different because we have more than 1 or if we have twins. Things haven't gotten better yet with the babies, in fact I believe it is even harder now than when they were younger. As babies you just had to feed them and put them to bed, now they are getting a little older and more aware of what they want and they can make it very clear what they want. It's harder to entertain and make both happy, especially when they both want mommy. Hopefully it will get easier soon. I just wish I can be the hands on mom I was with Julian with the twins and give them the attention they deserve as well.

Julian got a baseball tee for Christmas and he is really good. T- ball starts soon, and I think we found something that he really enjoys. We have set it up in the basement (since it is so cold here) and we go down every night and he loves hitting the ball, and I am so pleased that he is having fun doing it. I will be happy if this is a sport he will like since I played growing up. We are also still trying to figure out how to keep fish alive and take care of a bunny. Julian first thought the fish were doing tricks when they died, now he has figured out the death thing.

I did manage to get away last weekend for a little pampering of myself. My feet needed some serious attention, and a manicure and pedicure was wonderful. A life of a stay at home mom is so not glamourous and it is all about your kids. I wouldn't trade being home with them for anything, I think they gain so much from having me here, but it is nice every once in awhile to make myself look pretty. Julian asked me what that red stuff was on my nails. He's used to seeing me in mommy gear. He asked me the other day how old I was going to be on my birthday and I told him, he asked if that came before 100. Makes me feel kind of old. But I couldn't be happier with my life as I turn another year older. I have 3 beautiful children and I am able to stay home and take care of them. My only thing I wish I could change is where we live. (I am sorry to our family that lives in PA, but this is not my favorite place to live). I would give anything to move to SC again. The people here are just not that friendly at all. At least in Canada we had good friends to make living apart from our family more bearable.
