Where has the time gone....

Time is flying by at a records pace and I feel like I cannot possibly keep up with it. Work is so busy and crazy that I feel like I am already a school year's worth of work behind. I know that I will catch up and it is the beginning of school so I am trying to remember that. School is GREAT! I love my school and the teachers I work with. They like me too. One even told the principal "Thank you" for Amanda. That makes me feel good.

I have lots of meetings after school and more work that I know what to do with but I guess that is good. I have to do BTSA for the next 2 years so I have that about once a week for 1 1/2 hours. I have to do all kinds of work for it which should be interesting. I am also going to go back to school in the Spring to clear my Special Ed. credential so that will be good.

The girls are doing better with daycare and Evelyn even says she misses one of her teachers when we drive home at night. This is a welcome change. Drop offs are still hard but getting better. This morning was rough as she DID NOT want to wear a diaper, so she went in underwear. She made it all the way to school but didn't last there for long. She went through 2 changes of clothes before putting on a diaper. At least she is starting not to like the diaper. Baby steps. Evelyn has been having tantrums and OMG they are NOT fun. She is unconsolable and I don't know how to help it. It is sad. Welcome to the two's.

Camille is good but teething again we think. She is growing like a weed and getting cuter everyday. She doesn't like to be dropped off in the morning and cries as soon as she sees me when I pick her up. It is sweet to know that she loves me so much. She does good there and is drinking her bottles but will not eat solids for them. I am ok with that since she does at home now.

What else can I catch you up on??? I get my first paycheck next week! Whooohooo!!

I think that is about all for now. Since I am not home, I haven't been taking as many pictures but will try to soon.

Love you all!

Is there something on my chin?

Pure love!

Daycare!

This week the girls started daycare at a Kindercare near our works. It has been a rough transition but I know that it will get better. The first day was probably the easiest for the girls. I cried a little. Camille doesn't really understand what is going on so I hand her off and go take Evelyn to her teacher. That sounded bad. I tell her I love her, give hugs and kisses and then leave her with her teacher. Evelyn was good the first day but the 3rd was HORRIBLE!!! We were both in tears. I think it was because I sat down with her for a few minutes. I was thinking that would help but it didn't. Today was better, she still cried but I said a quick goodbye and left. When I picked her up her teacher said that she was better soon after I left.

Camille has been drinking from her bottles really well. I am glad as this was one of my main concerns. She has been taking shorts naps but that is better than none at all. She is doing well, although as soon as she sees me, she starts crying. It is the sadest thing in the world having to leave them everyday.

Week 1 done, many more to come. I took a couple of pictures on their
first day so please enjoy them. These were taken when they were still happy.

School starts Monday and I think I am ready. I have a GREAT group of teachers I am working with and the entire staff seems really great and supportive. I am looking forward to a good year. I am so thankful that I love the job because it makes it a LITTLE easier to drop the girls off than if I didn't like the job. So I am very thankful for that. I will try to keep this up to date but it may be harder so I am sorry.

Camille is 22.9lbs and now has 2 teeth. Big girl growing up so fast. My baby is not going to be a baby too much longer.

Evelyn is 23.5lbs and doing great (other than daycare). She is talking up a storm and loves her Camille. Camille is the first thing she talks/asks about when I pick her up at daycare. It is so sweet that she loves Camille so much. I am thankful.

Have a great weekend. I am off to enjoy the girls.

Camille's first tooth

Camille got her first tooth this morning. I felt it after her morning nap. I figured it was coming soon since she has been fussy and last weekend had a small blood blister on her gums. Hopefully it won't disturb her sleeping. Last night was great. She slept from 7:45-1:30 and 2:00-6:30. This is a schedule I can handle.

I will try to post a picture of her new tooth soon.

Evelyn is doing great and having fun playing with all her new toys she got for her birthday. Her new favorite word is "soon." Maybe she hears it a lot from me when she asks to do something but Camille is sleeping. It sure is cute though. I will post picture this weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone. I know I will!

Happy Birthday Evelyn!

Happy Birthday my sweet little girl! I cannot believe that you are now 2 years old, my how time has flown by. You amaze me everyday with the things that you can do and how you have grown into a great young lady. You have taught me to be a better person by showing my patience and unconditional love. Thank you for showing me how to live life in its simplicity without all of the other stuff. I love you very much and wish many more happy birthdays to you.

Here are some pictures from this past weekend. Enjoy!
