Eight Months (almost)

So I finally decided to start a "real" blog (I've been doing a teeny bit of blogging on the Nest/Bump), although I'm a little leary that I'll be able to find time to keep up with it. But the twins are starting to sleep in even later (I thought 7:00 am was pretty good but now it's more like 8:00! Whoo-hoo!) which means I can stay up later so I should be able to find blog time after they go to bed.

Anyway, they are almost 8 months old now! Unbelievable. I guess I have a lot of catching up to do as far as pictures, etc. but I'll take my time. This is such a fun age. They are really playing and interacting with us and each other and they laugh and giggle and squeal when we "chase" them or play horsie. Kayley is crawling and Olivia has two teeth.

Their first Halloween is coming up and I'm not dressing them up. I hope I don't regret that later. I just can't justify spending $20, probably even more, a piece, on costumes that they will wear for a few hours when they obviously have no clue at this age what's going on. And we're not taking them anywhere, we're just staying home and handing out candy. But we did take some pictures of them with some pumpkins so that can count for something:

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer! 5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago). It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old. I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours. Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over. We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins. I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do. They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white. It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side. I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done. We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains. We're also going to paint. I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom. A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom. Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley
