Snowbound

Well, we made it through the storm without having to pack up and go anywhere. We never did lose power but we sure did have stong winds and lots of snow. Paul was supposed to go to work Sunday morning (for storm related overtime) but couldn't make it out of our alley because the snow was too deep. The main road in front of our house is ok but he couldn't get to it. So Sunday evening he parked his car on the main road instead of the garage so he would be able to get to work this morning. I've never seen snow this deep, except at a ski resort. I have to say I love it, but that's because I don't have to commute in it! I am starting to get a little cabin fever, however. We all went for a walk on Sunday but today I only left the house to get the mail. And I haven't driven anywhere since Friday. I always have so much to do around the house, though, that it doesn't seem to bother me as much as some people. I'm also very excited to actaully have an official white Christmas! I don't know if I ever have in my entire life. I know it has snowed on Christmas Day before but it never sticks. So cool that the babies' first Christmas will be a white one!

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
