January 13, 2014

Last week I had two cold weather days which means I was able to stay home two extra days with you girls before going back to work. I do have to say that I was going a little stir crazy. The weather had been bad for a while and we already hadn't left the house much so needless to say I was not looking forward to being stuck inside two more days. The temperature reached -40's with the windchill!!!
I decided I would go online and find a few activities for us to do to pass the time. I will post the pictures below. It was fun, Cordelia, you definitely loved the sorting activity. I will have to make more in the future. You also really enjoyed dropping colored water into oil with droppers. We also boiled water and threw it out the door and watched it turn to smoke. We videoed it and Cordelia you love to watch the video! It was a short work week so this week will be tough having to be away from you for 5 days. Arya seems to get a little more upset when I leave now. She is finally getting momtached!!
Arya has also spent the last few days talking and talking and talking. I think she really loves the sound of her voice. She really doesn't say any words yet but she tries to repeat mom, dad, dog, ball and Cordelia!
And Cordelia your memory never ceases to amaze me. You woke up this morning talking about sunglasses that you owned more than a year ago and that we haven't seen in almost that long. You asked me where they were and if I could buy you new ones.

January 2, 2014 The start of the Blog

Dearest Lovies,
I thought I would start blogging so that I could record our family memories for you to read later on. Apparently I can print my blog into a book so here starts our first year of recorded moments. I have many goals for the new year starting with posting at least once a week to this blog. Below I will show the picture of all that I hope to accomplish this year.
     It has snowed a lot here the past day or two so we had a little cabin fever today. I braved the weather and took you two to the mall to play at the play place. You love going there. C and I played lots of chase while A had a blast sliding down the slide over and over again. Next we took a train ride around the mall, another favorite for you girls and met Tia Mayra at Chilli's for lunch. It has been so fun and exhausting being home with you guys over my winter break. I only have one day left with you and then the weekend and back to work I go. C already cries and complains that I need to stay home and that she needs me and that I have to be home to snuggle buggle her. Littl Miss A has also grown quite a attached the last two weeks and will probably not enjoy adjusting back to our regular routine. I love you girls so so so so much!!!!!
 My Goals for this year!
