New Videos!

I have been trying to take new videos of the girls, but they always freeze up when they see I am holding the camera!
But I managed to get a little bit of Olive blowing spit bubbles - it's her favorite thing to do right now. And an example of how loud Parker is first thing in the morning. She likes to scream with delight as soon as she wakes up. So here is what we hear at 6 am every morning. The video is dark, but you can get the idea from the sound and can see her little legs kicking away.

A Career Change

Last week I went in to work to give my resignation, yesterday I cleaned out my office and said my goodbyes, and today is my official last day with the company...

I'm so excited and lucky to be staying home with my beautiful girls everyday. I don't want to miss a moment. But after 6 years at Nick - to the day oddly enough - I am feeling very emotional about leaving. It's been such an amazing journey with that job. I got to do and see awesome things. I lived my dream while I was there and made some life long friendships. I feel so conflicted to be feeling both sad about closing the Nickelodeon chapter on my life and thrilled to be a new stay at home mom.

I like something my mom said to me about it - "I do not cry because it's over, I smile because it happened." And that's so true. I will always look back with fond memories and someday I can tell my girls all about it...

Here is a picture of my badge. They took this photo on my very first day! I was SO nervous!

BUMBO!

Check out my little Olive Bean (that's what I call her) in her Bumbo chair for the first time! What a big girl! She doesn't love sitting in it for more than a few minutes, but I'm just so excited that she holds her head up well enough to use it. Parker will be able to do it soon, but not just yet.
She looks totally adorable in it because the chair is as big as she is!

Easter

I realize that this whole blog could just be called "twin girls in holiday dresses", since that is what I mostly post. But who can resist an occasion for a special outfit?! Here are the girls in their Easter dresses. Grandma Saint also came to visit for their first Easter so here are some pictures with her. As a reminder, it's incredibly hard to get 2 babies to do the right thing for the camera :)



Look at Parker holding Olive's arm!

And pretty Parker

and of course the little bunny shoes they both had on
