Its finally here

Ever since the girls were born, I got many many people to tell me "Ohhh. It will get easier. It will get easier...." and all I could think was that they were LIARS. Finally its here. Its "easier" or is it different? I will say that they have turned a corner in the last few months. Playing together, taking turns, cracking each other up, running around silly and giving lots of love and hugs, telling each other they are their "best friend" and always wanting to play together.

Well almost always.

Typical day at our friend's (the Finches) house: Erin/Amanda/Mckenna are down in the basement playing "babies" and where's Nora? Upstairs reading books in Amanda's room quietly. Nora does tend to like being alone more often than Erin. Erin gets hurt feelings when Nora tells her "no" that she doesn't want to play. Getting to know the neighbors' kids as well, and the girls are having a lot of fun, finally leaving mommy and daddy's side to go explore and get into some sort of trouble. No, really they are good little girls. We couldn't be prouder!

They had their first Haircut Feb 14, 2009. Nora's hair was SO long!!! Erin's was pretty long but her waves made it seem shorter.

In March they went bowling for the first time. By that I mean Erin tried to pick up every bowling ball she could get her mits on (yes even the people the lane next to us) and Nora would "help" roll the ball down the lane.

In April the girls got to go to their first Easter Egg hunt. It was such a nice day that they had a huge turnout, was a bit crowded, but they liked seeing the bunny.

In May we went back to Brookfield Zoo (our membership passes had not quite expired from last summer) and they were big enough to ride on the large Merry Go Round that is in the front. They just loved it to bits, and have even picked out their next "animal" to ride on.

June is around the corner with Memorial Day coming up this weekend. Daddy is planning to go to the Blackhawks playoff game this weekend, he is so excited. We are happy he is able to go! Monday (Memorial Day) we are hoping to go out with Uncle Ed, Brighid and Conor and fly kites. Should be fun.

Conor is graduating 8th grade already... time does fly its so true what they say.

I'm planning a Dora the Explorer 3rd birthday party for the girls. Working on menus and party lists as of now. Gotta find that Dora pinata!

No major plans as of yet for summertime, hopefully lots of fun with neighbors and friends. Looking forward to getting outside a lot more.
