Well we are going to be trying to sell our house in the next few weeks. Hopefully it will sell quickly at a good price. It is a nice house and is pretty clean and updated. We are hoping to sell here and find something up the hill that will meet the needs we have now.
We haven't taken pictures lately and for that I am sorry. We have been so busy that we forget about the pictures. I did get video of Evelyn singing and Camille dancing. It was really cute. I will post (hopefully) some day in the near future.
Not much is happening (other than trying to sell the house). Evelyn WILL NOT sleep in her bed. She will sleep on the floor, couch, her tiny chair in her but NOT the bed. We even bought a sleeping bag for her and that didn't work. I am hoping that it is just a phase and that it doesn't last long. We don't know if she had a bad dream that makes her not want her bed or what. It has been this way for 2 weeks now and we are at a loss. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Camille is doing well. She is cutting her first molar, so she is a little unhappy but overall doing well. They are about to move her into the toddler room at daycare and I think that will be good for her. The hardest part is she only takes one nap but is still tired so she falls asleep on the way home and then doesn't want to go to bed and bedtime. MAN! This parenting thing is hard.
I love the girls and Richard. I probably don't tell him enough but he is great with them, me, the dog and the house. That doesn't take into account everything else he does. He is amazing and I don't give him enough credit.
***As a side note, you definitely have to watch what you say around Evelyn. This morning I said, "What the h..l!" 2 seconds later she said it. So then I had to explain that we shouldn't say that and mommy was wrong. I haven't heard it since so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

It has been a while...
Sorry it has been a while since I last updated the blog. Things have been crazy to say the least. This year has proven to be a busy one so far.
Camille: She is doing great. She is understanding more everyday. She now knows how to throw away her own diaper, put the washcloths in the bath tub and helps feed Sandy dinner. It is amazing what she understands. She can point to her head, belly and feet. We are working on other body but it can be hard with Evelyn around because she points to them before Camille gets the chance.
Camille is talking and babbling up a storm. It is adorable. She gives hugs and they are the best (well equal to Evelyn). She hugs you so tight it is great. She started doing just after Christmas when she was sick and I cannot get enough.
She is doing well at daycare still and is going to be moving into the toddler room soon. She is still taking 2 naps a day most days so that is what is holding her back.
Evelyn: Blows us away with the things she says. She started watching T.V. while on vacation and everyone was sick so she wants to do that a lot now. We still limit it to once a week but I think she would like it a lot more than that. What else is she doing? Singing. She loves singing "5 little monkey" and "twinkle twinkle." One of the things that she is obsessed with is birthday and presents. She has finally figured out their meanings a little. She always brings us birthday cake made out of lego and anything else she can piece together. If she sees any package, she says "its for my birthday."
She is doing well at daycare and they love her. We are teaching her how to spell her name. She has the LYN part but forgets the beginning. She also knows her middle and last name. Not bad for a 2 1/2 year old. She doesn't like loud noises and covers her ears in bathrooms because of the toilets and blow dryers. It cute and sad at the same time.
Richard: Working hard and developing things for his company like crazy. We just went to his company party in the bay this past weekend. It was great, people came up to him asking him for a hug for the work that he has done. He has done a great job making his name known and doing things for people that make their job easier.
Me: Working! I feel like that is the story of my life. Even on days like today, when I have no school I am working and the girls are at daycare. I am going to make sure that my next day off is with them.
I applied for my level 2 credential and master's and waiting to hear if I got in. I signed up for a 1/2 marathon on May 1st. Looking forward to training for that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the first time in 2 1/2 years Richard and I went away for the night and my parents watched Evelyn and Camille. We went to San Jose for Richard's company party. It was great. It was what we needed as a couple. We got to hold hands and just be us without kids hanging on. We got to sleep all night (though we woke up a bunch). On the way home we even went and saw a movie. The first one together in 2 years. We saw Avatar in IMAX 3D. It was amazing, beautiful and sad. It was great. The girls were great for my parents and I think it was good for all of them to have that time without mommy and daddy there. You can bet we will be doing that again. See what happens when you volunteer to watch the girls. Thank you very much.
Here is one of my favorite pictures from Palm Springs. My mom took it but it shows Camille hugs.

Happy New Year!
I know I am a little late but at least it is still within the first week of the new year. This year is off to a good start (mostly). The girls are getting better from all their sicknesses they had over our vacation. Nice thing about them being sick is that we got to relax more than we would have if they were not sick. We had a great time in Riverside and Palm Springs. I hope we can go back and enjoy some of the other things that Palm Springs have to offer.
I will post many pics from our trip soon.
***News for the new year. I am going to train to walk a 1/2 marathon. It takes place May 1st along the American Parkway. I am looking forward to it and accomplishing something big for myself. Cheer me on!!!
