1/17/11 – I *heart* Holiday’s

Today is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, so we had the day off work! While I was secretly hoping for a day all to myself (Christian has to work), my mother in law had scheduled some medical appointments for today, so the girls were home with me. Of course, it was a welcomed girls day though! And, while I was hoping for some “me” time throughout the day to get some cleaning and chores done…the girls decided they would be on complete opposite schedules all day, so that didn’t happy. Secretly…I was not too sad about that! LOL.

Amelia actually slept straight through to about 5:45AM! Right about the time she finished nursing, goofing around and fell back asleep, Olivia woke up. Amelia ended up sleeping again until around 10:30, so Olivia and I got in plenty of time together. It was great spending time with her. We played with her toys, read books and played games. She played on her own for a while so I was able to eat an actual breakfast and watch a little TV. Shortly after Amelia woke up, Olivia ate her lunch and (very cooperatively) went down for her nap. Amelia and I hung out downstairs so I could finish up the laundry and so she wouldn’t wake up Olivia. Finally, Amelia went down for a short nap, but of course, Olivia woke up shortly after I put her down. So, no “me” time, but plenty of one on one time with each of my girls, which in the end is much better anyway!

After Christian got home, we all ate and spent some time together. I’m all geared up to start my new excise program tomorrow…nervous, but ready to go!

Here’s a cute picture of Olivia. She’s starting to look so grown up. Tear….
