My little helpers-

The boys just had to help mommy fold clothes- or sit on the clothes...I didn't mind the help!!!

Arrrggghhhh

Ahoy mateys from the boys! Their first Halloween and we found them matching pirate themed outfits! Too cute....Happy Halloween everyone!

Two years

Happy Anniversary to us! Two years and two kids! I married my best friend two years ago today....thank you Steve for picking me to be your wife! I am SO LUCKY. I love you!

We went to Saint Louis for the evening on Saturday. It was a quick trip, but we had a great time. It was my first night to leave the boys- my parents watched them, so a big thank you goes out to grandma bon-bon and grandpa Steve. :)

First day of the nanny

So we had the nanny yesterday- she got to our house early and we went over everything...for some reason my heart was pounding, nervous I guess. I was gathering all of my stuff and she sat down and started playing with the boys- she smiled and said "have a good day." I felt good leaving, I felt a little bit of the weight off my shoulders being released...but still was worried. I thought of them all day...I thought "what if she feeds Will too fast and he chokes" "what if Luke goes up the stairs and he falls back onto the landing" all these thoughts....I finally told myself to have some faith and all will be ok. I called her at one and I heard the boys in the background laughing and playing...she said "Hi Molly, all is good here- they are having fun." I hope that she is having fun too- I want her to LOVE this job...love our boys and our family.

Steve got home at 4:30 and I got home around 5- she wrote down when they ate, slept and all of that...so I feel good. I am hoping that she stays with our family and falls in love with the boys.

The dreaded first day is down- here's to hoping that all continues to go well.... :)

Pumpkin Patch

Oh I love this time of year....I LOVE going to the pumpkin patch...last year I was 24 weeks pregnant, this year we have two nine month old little pumpkins! We went with my parents to Louisburg and then Powell Pumpkin Patch, so much fun!

9 months old!!!

The boys are 9 months old! Seriously- 9 months already? They are so much fun! Their little personalities are coming out and Steve and I just think that we are SO lucky. We fall more in love with these two little dudes each day…soon will be the big one year old posting- gosh how can that be happening? Where does the time go??
Here is an email that I got from Steve- pretty much sums it all up- love this man so much “Sometimes I feel we hit the winning ticket on the biggest lottery ever with the boys. Man I love them.”
