Playing in time out
Watch "Logan and Clara playing" on YouTube
Logan and Clara were supposed to be in trouble but instead they were having fun in time out. Guess it's better than firing and biting!

And the biting continues
Well Logan used to be the big biter but these days it's Nora. She has gotten Clara and Logan in the same day and I have the pics to prove it. I guess I will show her when she's older how mean she was LOL

May 21, 2011
Well, I haven't had time to provide a full update on all three of them in awhile. It's a Saturday night at 8:30 and we just put them all to sleep so I think I may actually have a few minutes to myself! Today we had a garage sale at my mom's house. That has been a bitter sweet event. A few weeks ago me, my mom and my sister went through both of the kids rooms and cleared them out. We found some preemie clothes that I couldn't believe how small they were. It just seems like a million years ago that they were that small. So I did a lot of looking back to the last year or so and got a little sentimental about the whole thing. The sweet part was that I made about $93 selling it all. :-)
So Logan is our little mover and CLIMBER. I am told that all boys are climbers. It's getting kind of scary. He can now climb up into the swing that we have and stand up in it. Yikes! So, it's bye-bye swing on Monday. We've gotten great use out of it, thanks to Elisa Pinkley for letting us borrow it. It was a life saver. So, he's walking around like crazy now and doesn't ever crawl anymore. And as stated in the previous post, he just got a full hair cut. he looks like such a little "boy" now instead of a baby. And all of the dark hair is gone now so he's much more blonde now. He's also becoming quite the flirt. He loves to smile really big and flash those pretty eyes at all the girls. I'm afraid that he knows how cute he is, and it's going to be dangerous.
Nora is our little talker. She is getting very good at mimicking what we say and then remembering it. She knows how to call her baby now and she gives her hugs and kisses. She is still not super interested in walking yet. Sometimes she just freaks out when she figures out that she's standing. She sleeps pretty good at night, which we are thankful for, and she waves hello and good-bye to me when I come and go. That's the best!
Clara is still kind of on her own timeline. I think she's going to try and take that first step on her own soon. she's been standing on her own here and there and when she realizes what she's doing she smile really big and then falls on her behind. I did get her to take a couple of steps to me the other day. So she's at least showing interest. Her favorite phrase right now is "uh oh" and she's learned to say it before she actually drops the food on the floor. Thank goodness for the dogs. She seems to have such a great sense of humor, I think she has a million faces too. Right now she's my "mini me".
Well, that's a brief update on the kids. Every day is such an adventure, but it's a great adventure. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world.

Logan's 1st hair cut
Well I finally did it, I cut his hair. It was getting out of control. I didn't think he could get any cuter but boy was I wrong! He looks like a little boy instead of a baby!

Mother's Day
Happy mom's day to all you great mothers out there. First thing today we went to visit my Grandma Moyer at the nursing home. She loved seeing the kids, she doesn't get to see them very often. After that we went over to Megan and Dave's for lunch. Now we are at Grandma and grandpa Sanders house for dinner. Great weather and a very successful Mother's Day!
I love being a mom!

Mother's Day Flowers
On Wednesday I got a wonderful surprise from Rob and the kids for Mothers Day. What a wonderful family I have!Our first road trip!
Well last weekend we took the kids on their first official road trip! We went to the Chicago area to visit my Aunt Jane, Uncle David and cousins Lindsay, Brad and Rylan. It was Lindsay's 30th birthday party. We all stayed at my Aunt Jane's house and it was fun. They had enough room in their house for everyone to stay, and we had the basement which was awesome because it was all just finished. We had our own bathroom & kitchen and enough room for 3 pack n plays! LOL
The kids did surprisingly good in the car. I think the 5 hour car ride was probably the limit, they were getting kind of ancy towards the end of the ride. But I think we left at good times for naps so they all slept off and on throughout the trip.
The mini van was awesome. Rob sat in the back with the kids most of the time and watched movies with them and kept them occupied while I drove. I get car sick in the back easily so I preferred to drive.
So, first trip was a success! Guess that means we'll have more to come!
