Life with Two

 We have been staying quite busy with our two little ones lately. Our little girls are such dears, but it can get a little overwhelming at times during the day when I'm the only parent at home. Help, I'm outnumbered! Lol. We are needing to re-learn things we forgot from when Jolynn was a baby - namely, that the parents need to set the baby's sleep schedule, rather than waiting for the baby to indicate readiness to sleep. Thanks to my remembering that useful bit of information, Carina is finally settling into something of a schedule, which makes things a bit easier for me. In the afternoons when both girls are sleeping I have a few hours of free time. Hooray! I have been feeling productive recently, thanks to that. A few days ago I gave both the girls baths, trimmed their fingernails, cleaned up the kitchen, did a little laundry, and made rice pudding for a dessert for supper. I felt like supermom! I am needing to work on a baby travel bed I started while waiting for baby, considering we have a trip planned later this month.

Here is a picture of our two little girls. I had been trying to get a good picture of Carina for baby announcements (hence the cute dress) but her expression in this picture is a pretty good example of the not-so-nice expressions I was capturing on the camera. Then of course she spit up on her dress. This picture I had to keep though.


Here is the picture (from a different photo session!) we are using for birth announcements.


Jolynn is turning 2 tomorrow! We have been so blessed having her in our lives!


Okay, all for now. We are having Jolynn's birthday party this evening, and I need to make & decorate the cake and make ice cream today. So long!

Wow, I can't believe she is two already! Wish I could be at her party, but give her a hug for me. :)

I never stopped to think about being out-numbered while daddy is at work. No wonder mommys feel overwhelmed too often! LOL! Having two not quite 16 mo. apart does get hectic when one is sick and the other is hungry. Blessings to you as you mother those sweet lil girls!

Haha! That is rather a sour face by Carina in the first picture. Looks like she is scowling at the camera. Oh, hey! Maybe she will grow up to not like cell phones and cameras as much as Jolynn does.

I didn't realize jolynn has gotten that big. I'm sure she is a good big sis. They now have 2 girl cousins to play with!!!!!!!
