Not much new

Not too much new on the homefront. J&O are still sick. O is coughing a lot now and she sounds terrible! I think I am finally catching it. My immune system fought against it for 4 weeks, but I think it is throwing in the towel. O says DaDa sometimes, but not really with any intention so we are not calling that her first word. J said ma ma ma today and even though I know she didn't mean it, it still made my heart melt. Only 3 more days till Christmas!

Here are our girls for the first time with Santa Clause!

Viruses...YUCK!

The cold is back! Or its a new cold. But whatever it is, it is here with a vengeance. Poor girls. Especially J, who coughs soooooooo much! We brought them to the doctor and he confirmed that they are just fighting something viral. Oh well. I guess this is what we signed up for!
We brought the girls to meet Santa for the first time on Sunday. They did awesome (picture to be added soon!). There was a little boy who was in line behind us whom we had to keep reminding not to touch the babies. He was cute, but just a little too forward (and his grandma didn't seem to notice). But he came in handy when it came to picture time. The girls were not smiling so we called the little guy up there and he was dancing and jumping around. We got such a cute picture! I can't wait to post it. Anyway, wish us speedy recovery vibes. (oh, and Lea, I typed this in Trebuchet!)

The girls colds are almost gone, but J is still coughing at night. If it isn't better by Monday I'll call the pediatrician. They like the Christmas tree and I love being able to sing Christmas carols to them. I am working this weekend, so Daddy is with them. He is such a good Daddy! I think we might go and see Santa tomorrow (Sunday) so I will post pictures of them with the big guy. Christmas cards are all set to go, just have to get to the post office to get stamps (easier said than done with two babies in tow!). I can't believe how time flies!!!

Heather is visiting from Arizona and we woke up this morning to a couple inches of snow (The snow is still falling)! It is the first time the girls have seen snow. I'm so happy Heather was here to see it! And I'm also happy that it was a weekend so that Steve was home too. We got our Christmas tree yesterday. It is bigger than we thought, but its beautiful. The girls are starting to feel better, although they are still coughing last night, but not as much. What a happy day!

Working again

J&O are still pretty sick today. J is coughing like mad! Daddy is doing a good job with them though. He's so good at this parenting stuff! Hopefully they will sleep all night for him. Heather comes for a visit tomorrow. I can't wait! I haven't seen her since Steve and I got married. WAY too long! Hopefully we will go over to Caycie's house and sit in her hot tub while Daddy watches the girls. I'd like to go to LaSallete (spelling?) too. We are getting our Christmas tree on Saturday, and I can't wait for the girls to see all the lights and ornaments. Christmas seems so much more special now!

J&O have their first colds. They have been sick for about a week now. Daddy is at home with them tonight while I'm at work and he said J is coughing pretty badly! My poor babies. It stinks because we had just gotten them used to sleeping unswaddled and now they can't sleep because they can't breathe! The unswaddling went a lot better than I expected though. By the third night they had slept through completely! Way to go girls! We took pictures for the Christmas cards over the weekend. Even in their "sick" state we managed to get some smiley pics. I'll post them after the cards go out. Don't want to ruin the surprise. They are so beautiful, and they bring so much happiness to our lives. I don't know what I did before they were here!
