I guess it's time for my annual post again!  I hope one day to make this occurance happen just a little more often...but so many things to do and not enough time!  So this isn't a very interesting post, just a few things I want to remember.

It's been a wonderful and rough year all at the same time.  The babies are now 15 months old and a world easier to take care of.  Rachael will be 3 tomorrow.  I'm not sure she is any easier (she's a screamer and in the middle of terrible 2 tantrums-they started late).  But we have fun between the moments of crisis.

Rachael loves matchbox cars, dolls, necklaces & make-believe.  She sings to herself constantly, but it's difficult to get her to sing to me.  She still struggles with going to bed by herself, she wants Daddy to sit at his computer next to her room until she falls asleep.  She was a late walker and talker, but is speaking much better now.

Ellie starting walking a few weeks ago.  She loves going up and down the stairs and has been doing that for a long time.  She has lots of teeth and loves to eat anything, anytime, anywhere but hasn't been interested in a bottle for quite awhile..  She says "bye", and "hi." 

Julia has been walking for over almost 2 months, but just started going down stairs last week.  She doesn't have as many teeth and is much more skeptical about her food.  She does like food better if she can feed herself and is fascinated with using a spoon.  She just gave up her last bottle in the evening last week.  She says "bye", "up", "hi", "peek-a-boo", "thankyou", "beep" (when she touches your nose), "ToJo" (grandpa's dog) and probably a few more things I just haven't figured out yet.

The babies play so much better on their own now, but do fight over toys on occasion and like to bite each other when they do!  They are allowing me a little time each day so I've started sewing a little.  I'm loving having a little time to do something creative and I hope to do more soon.

And these are Easter pictures!
