We went to Seattle this year to my folks house. I decided at the last minute to stay for a month so I could get some help with the kiddos. Fernando stayed for 10 days, then had to start his new assignment with Exxon back in Houston. He enjoyed being baby-less for the remaining weeks although he was a bit lonely.
We got to meet my sister Crystal’s new baby Megan (on the left) born 6 weeks before the twins. Such a cute little chunk. To get an idea of their difference in size, Megan wears 9 month size and the twins are in 3 month.
Some of the things we enjoyed over the holidays
It was so nice having help with the kids. Even with the help, I think I left the house on average twice a week. My parents babysat one night and treated us with tickets to go see Annie Get Your Gun, which was a super fun musical. We went to my favorite breakfast place: The Original Pancake House a couple of times and got the amazing apple pancake and bacon waffles.
Unfortunately we all caught a never ending cold. Mine turned into the flu, which let me tell ya, it stinks being sick when you have babies to care for! Thankfully my mom was there!
1. My sister Crystal made this amazing rainbow birthday cake that was to die for!
2. Grandma ice skating with the grand kids.
3. Everybody watching Cassidy play Angry Birds of the iPad. (You’d think the other kids would find something more interesting to do).
4. Story time with mom
My nephews got a puppy for Christmas. Lilly is such an adorable and well behaved puppy. Maybe she’ll finally convince my husband to get a dog…
As I was leaving, a great snow storm was hitting Redmond. I loved it! But we high tailed it out of there. My mom flew with me, and thankfully a lot of people missed the flight because of the snow, so we had empty seats next to us. The babies did surprisingly well on the flight.
LOVE it! You look AMAZING! I think I have the same carrying wrap that you do: I have stopped using it because it takes me forever to tie it (even though I like it). You must have a lot of patience to do that with two kiddos.
Love that you do story time with your sweet babies. I try to do it sometimes, and as an elementary educator, you’d think I would do better. Good for you!
Glad you were able to get some help from your mom. I wish we had family that lived closer or that we could afford to hire a doula one night per week (for a full night’s sleep! ha ha).
P.S. Everyone looks great and the twins are DARLING! :)
that cake looks so cool, and you look great!
i love all the pics!! can’t wait to see you guys soon.
