Sweet Girls

The other day Olivia was watching TV on my bed. We actually don't have a TV out in our living room anymore. We just have the projector for movies and big sports games down stairs and then we have a small TV in the master bedroom. I never planned on having a TV in our room, and to be honest was against it at first... Anyway, it has actually worked out great though! We hardly ever watch TV anymore! Brett and I do not watch TV before going to bed, so for us it works. The TV is out of the way and we only watch when we really want to.
So- back to the story! Claire came in and snuggled right up against Liv. It was so sweet! Then later Claire had her arm wrapped around Liv and was scratching Livs back as she fell asleep! It was just so sweet!

Sunday Best


The girls wanted to dress alike this last Sunday. It was so cute when I went to take their picture Claire had to copy Olivia exactly. She would look at Liv, copy, look at herself to check, look back at Liv, and so on. She wanted to get it just right! She even put on a big smile like Livie a minute later, but Liv was off running before I could catch them both smiling...

Sunshine and Pigtails

The last few days have been BEAUTIFUL outside. It is just what we needed after such a long long winter.

Claire let me put her hair in pigtails! I know it won't last long- she pulls EVERY thing out of her hair, but it sure is cute for a few minutes!!
Here is my belly at 15 weeks and 3 days.Yes, a reflection in the window is as good as it is getting right now ;) I thought it would grow bigger faster this time. No, it is still on the slow track. Anyway- I am very surprised with this baby. I can feel it kick a LOT! When ever I hold the girls against by belly I usually always feel it kicking and I always get freaked out and jump. It scares me every time. It just doesn't seem like I should be feeling that yet. I am scared for when this baby gets bigger... it may be a kicker!! Oh and I suppose I will answer the question every one asks "Do you want a boy this time?" Yes, we would like a boy this time, but I will be fine if it is a girl. We love girls and I wouldn't mind having more.

Winter in the house

It just won't stop snowing. Not that I expected it to stop in March... or even April. We have been in the house SO much and can not wait to get out and go to the park, etc. We've been playing, cleaning, growing a baby, and trying to potty train. The training officially stopped today. Only 2 days in. She had a LOT of accicdents with absolutely no successes. Well, one time the poop made it in, mostly. But... I didn't see enough progress to continue right now. So, maybe in another month we'll have another trial. I do think she learned a lot, she's just not quite there yet.

Claire has been walking on her tippy toes a LOT lately. It's cute.

Olivia loves to play dentist ever since they saw the dentist a few weeks back. Claire doesn't even mind! They are funny!
The girls still love to get their nails painted... Olivia is very into pretty designs on her nails and loves to show them off! I have fun doing it, so it is a win win!

The other day I was putting up a shelf and coat rack in the laundry room (yes, I am very handy!) The girls took the opportunity to get out a snack on their own. It made me laugh.
