Slacking

I am sorry it has been so long... I feel that this is how I start many a posts but life as we all know can be crazy. The only reason I am on now is that I am on spring break (2 weeks) and the girls are at daycare today. You would think my day would be filled with naps and reading but it sadly isn't. I have already been to two car dealerships to get both vehicles oils changed and now I am back at home doing laundry and when done with this clean the house. Speaking of the house, we have not sold it and no one has looked at it in over 2 weeks. Please pray someone looks soon and likes it enough to buy.

The girls are doing good. Camille had her 15 month checkup yesterday. She weighs in at 26.5 lbs (95%) and she is 32 3/4 inches long (95%). She is about 2 1/2 inches taller than Evelyn was at the same age. She also officially weighs more than Evelyn by a pound. She met all her milestones and is doing well on all fronts. She had 3 shots and has to go back and get one more in the next day or so. She did good with the shots. She cried during them (who wouldn't) but stopped as soon as I picked her up. She crashed on the way home and slept for 2 1/2 hours, took another 45 minute nap in the early afternoon, went to bed at her normal time and then slept all night (this is a first in about a week). Hopefully she keeps that up. Camille is talking and communicating more and more these days. She loves dogs and points at any that she sees. She is saying please, dada, mama, sister, dog, and can say what a cow says. When she is happy it is amazing to watch her explore and enjoy playing with her sister.

Evelyn is also doing well. She is talking more and more and is expressing herself more often. The other day I accidentally ran into her and she fell over, she looked up at me and with the most stern face said, "Mommy, you knock me down." It is nice to hear her stand up for herself because she was getting picked on at daycare a little so she is learning to have a voice and I think that is great. She also knows that her birthday is August 2nd if you ask. She can tell you what street she lives on but we are still working on the numbers.

Last night while sitting at dinner with Richard, Camille and Yaya Lavon; Evelyn started spelling her name. She was sitting on Lavon's lap saying E-V-E-L-Y-N. It was so cute and we were all so proud of her. I think these are all important things to know. She is excited for Easter and we have been reading out of her Bible that Yaya Yvonne and Papa Fred bought her (she tells us this every time). She enjoys it and really likes Noah. She has socks that have Santa Claus on them but she calls them her Noah socks. Sweet!

Evelyn had her first sleepover on Saturday night. She invited her cousins over to sleep in a tent in the backyard. All the girls loved it. We ate ice cream, watched a movie and then they slept outside with Richard. The next morning we got bagels. We had a great time and Evelyn was sad that they had to go. It was cute to see them all together.

Other than that, things are status quot. My job is still up in the air but I am trying not to worry about it because there is not much that I can do. My marathon is about a month a way and I have not bee good about training for it but hope that I can still do it. Easter and Richard's birthday are both on Sunday and we are looking forward to seeing my family and having a nice time. I will post pictures soon from Easter. For now enjoy some other pictures we have taken recently.

Playing Around!

Girlie Girls!

Backyard Fun!

It's been a while...

Things have been crazy and exhausting, which is why I haven't posted.

We have officially put our house on the market. We had a few people look at it but we were their second choice and not the first. Oh well, when the right person comes along, they will buy it.

The girls are doing great and enjoying life. They both love daycare and going to see their friends. I am hoping that I have a job so that they can continue to thrive in that environment. Evelyn is sleeping in her bed most nights, which is nice. She is talking like crazy and comes up with the funniest sentences. She loves to help Camille and likes to talk for her as well. She is amazing.

Camille is teething, her molars are coming in which is no fun for anyone. She is doing ok other than that. She is started talking more. She can say milk, please, some form of thank you. She is following directions that you give her. It is impressive. She is still our stubborn and difficult one. Sometimes it feels like nothing I can do will make her happy. Maybe it is the teething. She is running all over the place and wants to do whatever Evelyn does. It is really cute to watch her dance also. Daycare has a music lady come in and Camille is one of the few in toddlers that actually dances.

My job is up in the air right now. We will know more about May 15th. It sucks the way that it works. If they cut elementary p.e., than I could potentially not have a job because a P.E. teacher holds a special education credential. She hasn't done special ed. in a while (10-15 years) but is still able to take my job from me. I don't understand how that is benefiting students. We shall see. So my job is up in the air and so is where we move to. Lots of whatifs right now.

Here are pictures. Enjoy!
