Here We Go!

 

 

So far, 2013 has been full of runny noses, fevers, ear aches and doctors appointments.  I'm hoping things can only go up from here! 

 

The girls started the New Year off right with new haircuts.  Lainey cried, no surprise there, but she did manage to keep her head still while she was screaming so the stylist could even out her "baby mullet."  Hailey has become a seasoned professional and just gets in the police car and zones out to whatever movie they are playing on the TV. 

 

Our New Years Eve was low key.  The girls weren't feeling well and we were all still exhausted from our plane flights, so we stayed in.  We had dinner at my friend Cindy's house and the girls loved running around with Owen and Ella and then we headed home and we were all in bed my 9pm! 

 

The rest of the week has been filled with timeouts, tantrums and tears.  Which is always to be expected after weeks of Christmas spoiling from both sets of grandparents! 

 

Thankfully, the girls start school again this week.  I'm thankful, not because I don't enjoy having my babies home with me (because I LOVE our lazy days at home, playing princesses and puzzles) but because we desperately need some structure in this house!

Owen decided Hailey's new hairdo needed a little touching up!

We rang in the new year at home, with our two favorite girls.  It might have been 7:30pm when we celebrated, but who really wants to stay up until midnight anyways?!

Meanwhile, Hailey and Owen were running around the playroom like donkeys!

We love having Owen and Ella right up the street from us!
