I've been a bad, bad girl...

as Fiona Apple would say. Where have I been!? Life has been so busy, and it's been really hard to keep up with this blog, especially after a long day! It's hard to believe that one of the most amazing years of our lives is coming to an end, but I am so looking forward to what the coming year has to bring.

Ari and Noah have grown so much in the past few months! They've gone from being little balls of silly putty, to strong and curious little munchkins. Noah started crawling on Thanksgiving Day, and Ari just a couple of days after. Both boys are now pulling up on everything to stand, and cruising around! Walking, I'm sure, is right around the corner!

I hope that in the new year I will find the time to blog more. Life is quickly changing on a daily basis and there is so much that I don't want to forget. New pictures to come soon!

Happy New Year, everyone!

A whole lot of everything!

Oh, I feel so horrible for not being an avid updater! I've been going to bed pretty much right after the boys every night. There's nothing easy about having two full-time jobs! This will be my weekend to update, so check back soon!

And on day four...

they ate a little more!




I'm still trying to get the hang of feeding the boys from a spoon, at the same time. Today was a little frustrating for me. I see how they eat a lot better when I consistently feed them one spoonful after another, so instead of doing one spoonful at a time, each got five at a time. It seemed to work a little better, and I know that eventually we'll get the hang of it. They are such good babies, and I thank them every day for being so patient with me!

Daddy saves the day!

I had my very first "I'm a terrible mother" moment yesterday. I had just a few more things to move over to my new classroom, so Mark and I quickly packed up the car and the the diaper bag, got the boys into their car seats, and took off. The boys were still in the midst of their nap, but I knew as soon as they woke up it would be time for linner (feeding between lunch and dinner).

As soon as we got to my classroom, of course, they woke very ready to eat. I opened up the diaper bag to make their bottles, and lo and behold, I forgot their bottles! The munchkins were screaming their heads off. Mark walked into the room as I had "Oh, s&@$" written all over my face.

Mark quickly remembered that we had an emergency stash of bottles in the car! We put them in the car a few months ago just in case we ever came upon a moment like this. Thank goodness we were prepared for the moment!

I still feel horrible, but the boys got to eat, and we all left happy.
