One Year Old

Saturday was the girls' first birthday! I can't believe a whole year has passed. I was relieved with how well the party went. I thought the girls might be really overwhelmed with all the people and activity and get fussy, but they did great! They even ate their cake pretty good and didn't make too much of a mess! I had to wash some out of Kayley's hair that night but I've seen much worse at other kids' parties.

It's just amazing to see how much they've grown and changed. When I think back to a year ago, I know they slept a ton but if that's true, and I know it is, how is it that we never slept?!? I guess just by the time we'd feed them both and change them and I would pump and all that, I never got more than an hour and a half, if that, before starting all over again. Ugh. I sure don't miss those days. Now to see them walking (Kayley walks, Olivia is taking a few steps here and there) and eating real food and playing at the park--so much has changed in the last year. My little pumpkins are growing up!

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
