...And much to our surprise!

After a fairly difficult winter/spring and early summer, we were overjoyed to find out at the end of August we were pregnant!  Just goes to show those doctors don't know as much as they think they do.  On September 12th we had our first doctors appointment.  Much to relief they sonogram confirmed I was indeed pregnant and much to our surprise and shock, we were having TWINS!!!  This is our first peek at our new little bundles, affectionately called baby A and baby B!

Yes, I'm a sLacKer

Wow, I know I've been a slacker with the blog updates but I didn't realize it had been a year!  I blame Facebook, they just make it way too easy to update your life and post pictures.  Let's see Piper is 2 1/2 and has grown 3 1/2 inches since her birthday in March, I'm scared that the pediatrician is underestimating just how tall Piper may be one day!  We have an Old MacDonald farm complete with chickens, rabbits, a giant pig, and 3 baby calves that we've named Lightening, Marvin and  Bam-Bam.  I'm working with miss Piper, also known as Spicy Betsy, with her potty training,  it's a slow process but we're getting there!  Um, what else, work keeps me soo busy, but I love it most of the time, finally found an amazing assistant but right now she's helping in our newly opened infant room.  Oh yeah and my Spicy Betsy has become quite the little fish, a couple of weeks ago she even braved the water "by herself" so do some "swimming"!  Can't believe how fast she is growing and what a big girl she is becoming!!!

Where has the time gone?!

my farm girl and her poppa

I can't believe summer's almost over and my baby is going to be 18 months old! At the end of september she will be able to start in the toddler room at work with me. I'm excited about not having to leave 1 1/2 hours before work starts but I'm sad that Piper won't be playing with her cousins every day like she has been for the last year. I have been truly blessed that my sis n law is a stay at home mom and agreed to watch my monster for me. It's really something for cousins to be able to spend so much time together like that. Piper loves Carter and Rylee so much and at the same time I'm excited for her to make new friends and to be able to start "school" earlier than some children do, maybe it will help to calm my little daredevil down!! She's quite the climber, today for example I had to pull her down off the window sill, yes the window sill, she was standing on the ledge in our picture window!!! She gives me a heart attack at least once a day!! Now I know why mom's always say they hope their children have a child that acts just like them, I think it's so we appreciate that fact that we're still alive and our parents didn't kill us for driving them crazy! haha!!
