The Help

Last night MissP wanted to notsleep for several hours in the middle of the night. She wanted to be held. So us girls just cozied up with my kindle and we really enjoyed the first several chapters of this book. So far, really good.

Let me know if there are other books I should load onto the kindle, it is not uncommon for her to notsleep. The kindle was a great way to pass the time and keep us both happy...yawn...

How can she be so mad when her dress is so cute??

I Got Work To Do

Can you do everything on this list?

I can not...but I think its a great list.

School

WKF's school looks pretty fun...

Home Alone

Today is my first day alone with both babes. So far, so good.

Sad Day

Today is the saddest day of MissP's short life. Birdie and Bry just left in a cab...P and I are both crying...

B&B - Thank you so much for coming and taking such great care of us. I can't believe all that you did! In 4 weeks I have not been to the grocery store, cooked a meal, cleaned up a meal, done any laundry, made any beds, taken out trash, loaded/unloaded dishwasher, or run any random errands. I also was treated to daily chai latte delivery, a daily nap, a cleaned out and organized closet (no more wire hangers!), along with cleaned out closets for oli, w and p. Oh, and a reorganized linen closet. Also, they sat with the babes while O and I went out on a few dates. Wow!

That is not all...

I was able to get away for a mani/pedi. Our fridge has been cleaned out and organized, we have a cleaned out oven, and a clean stove. All toilets in the house are clean, all rugs are vacuumed. Pictures have been hung. Shoe racks have been constructed and organized. All beds and cribs have clean sheets. My car has a new light, is full of gas and both car seats have been professionally installed. Flowers have been planted in pots that have sat empty (actually full of dead plants) for years. My freezer is packed full of meals to thaw out for the next several weeks.

All random change (from the past 4+ years) has been rolled and counted and is ready for deposit.

They brought a bunch of crap from the basement to the dump for us. They also made several purge runs to goodwill.

All Christmas decor has been packed away.

They made a Costco run and loaded us up on cereal, toilet paper, detergent, paper towels, diapers, wipes...etc. etc.

B and B played countless games of ring-around-the-rosie, read many many baby books - including the tickle monster book a jillion times, practiced their french, changed 1000 diapers, put babies down for naps (including their baby - moi), got babies up from naps, gave baths, listened to hours of ukulele practice (by o and w), and held a newborn baby around the clock.

They are a-m-a-z-i-n-g. We TRULY wish these two would move to Portland already. Not because of all their hard work, but because we love them and they are such best friends to us both (all 4 of us really). We are counting the days until we see them again.

We promise that we will get our family of four to the rubber city soon to play in the playroom, sleep in the kiddo room, and play some more ring-around-the-rosie.

We love you. Safe travels.

Still crying... love you. Merci!

Week 3 of Miss P's life was a fun one. She got to meet her uncle A, and we got to meet uncle A's new lady friend...

We had our first family outing...just ran some errands...but we all 4 got out at once in the same car.

Miss P has been rocking her high fashion hat...sent with love from her bff in Manhattan...

Ukulele!

WKF got a ukulele for xmas. He and his papa both have had fun playing it and singing along.

Their favorite song is "Somewhere over the Rainbow", the Hawaiian version...
