Kris
I wanted to say Happy Birthday to my best friend Kris. She is 39 today. (I'm sure she will love me saying that!) Oh well, we're the same age! She is this amazing person whom I have known since we were kids. She is also battling stage II breast cancer and started her chemo on Monday. She is epitome of the glass is half full. I'm so blessed that she is in my life and just wanted to wish her the best birthday she could possibly have so Happy Birthday Kris. I love you!
Hello!
Today is my first blog and I'm very excited to hear from everyone out there. Like my description says, I am a SAHM of twins. They are the best things along with my husband in my life. It is an amazing adventure from day to day and I love every minute of it!
They are 7 months old now and I treasure every moment I get to spend with them. I couldn't do anything without the help of my husband Philip. He's my partner in all this! My life has totally changed (as I knew it would) from pre-twins. You forget that you ever just dropped everything and went on vacation or even out to eat. That does not happen now. There is a multitude of planning that goes into everything.
My kids are very scheduled especially my son Anders. He lives and breathes by the schedule. It has been a really great help most of the time, unless we have to stray from that and then he gets a little crazy because he is out of his element. My daughter on the other hand could care less when she eats and especially sleeps. She would play and roll around the floor all day if I would let her.
We ventured out to Target today for a graduation gift (lots of that planning involved) and of course it rains. Lovely! I have this stroller that is that size of a small country and the car seats pop in it, which is nice, but first you have to get the stroller out of the car and open it up (in the rain) get each kid and make sure their hood is down (in the rain) and then lock up the car (in the rain) and run into the store (in the rain). When we finally get into the store, I have to get one of those carrying baskets because twins do not fit in a shopping cart. Now I am pushing this small country stroller and carrying the basket trying to get my shopping done before the kids start crying or Ainsley starts yelling like a holler monkey throughout the store. (She loves doing this and laughs because she thinks she is very funny) I finally got to the checkout and see the light at the end of the tunnel and there is a lady in line who begins squeezing and pinching my kids cheeks. I'm just hoping she doesn't have swine flu or anything else and want to offer her the hand sanitizer in my purse, but it's too late. Then the inevitable question: are they identical? I patiently and kindly say, no ma'am, they are fraternal. This is my life!
