We finished off our summer in Las Vegas celebrating my grandfathers 80th birthday and had a great time. We stayed for a week and got to have some fun while we were there with the girls. We went to Shark Reef and The Secret Garden with the girls to see the animals. For Evelyn's birthday we went to lunch at Rainforest Cafe which was a lot of fun. Camille wasn't so sure about the elephant at the table but enjoyed it once I told the elephant not to take my food. Richard and I were able to see Bodies Revealed which was amazing and so interesting. I loved it and I think Richard enjoyed (found interesting and intriguing himself) it as well.
School is back in session and I am loving the team that I am on and working with. They are amazing people who are about the students and helping them succeed, which is who I am as well. It is a breath of fresh air. I think this is going to be an amazing year for me, my students and our team. So excited!
Evelyn and Camille are doing wonderful. Evelyn is now 4 and we took her to the doctors last week for her annual checkup. She weighs in at 29.8 and is 40 inches tall. She is at the 5th % for weight and 50th% for height. Right on track for where she always is. She is meeting all of her milestones and is doing great.
Camille is growing like a weed and I suspect that it will not be long before she is as tall as Evelyn. I believe she is measuring about 37.5 inches tall and 34.5 lbs. Love it. She is learning more letters all the time and we are still working on her speech. We can understand more and more but it is still hard to understand. I can't remember if it was this way with Evelyn but we are monitoring it anyways.
The girls are FINALLY sleeping in their beds in their rooms again without one of us with them. It has been about 5 months of off and on being in their room or them with us. It was too much so we decided on Friday to make them sleep in their beds. They both cried for about an hour but have been in there since. It is nice to be all back in our own beds.
The biggest news is that we have started deconstruction on the master bathroom and it is going to be a MAJOR project. We are hoping that we can keep cost down with doing some of the work ourselves but we definitely cannot do it all. Wish us luck and hope there is nothing more that we find.
I have added some pictures because it has been such a long time. Did you forget what the girls looked like? Hope not. Hopefully I can do this more often but I am not making any promises.
