4/21/11 – Long Day

Today was a long day. My mother in law had to work at the store today, so I was home with the girls. Well, I have way too much work to do (and tomorrow is my Friday off, so two days off in a row always equals disaster), and I really don’t have a ton of vacation time, so my mom graciously agreed to take half the day off and watch them. So, I was on mom duty for the morning, then off to work for the afternoon. It was pretty quiet at work, so I actually got quite a bit done too. Such a relief!

My mom had a good day with the girls too. She ended up taking them on a walk over to Walmart and bought them each a pair of shoes! Very exciting stuff. She also had a bag of toys and goodies for them for Easter, so Olivia had lots of fun checking out all the new goodies all night long!

Since Christian didn’t have to pick the girls up (which always leads to him hanging out and catching up with his mom for a while), we actually had quite a bit of time together tonight. He grilled up some pork chops (in the surprise rain storm we weren’t expecting), and I made some rice and veggies. After Amelia ate her sweet potatoes, I ended up giving her some potatoes and some rice. BIG SURPRISE, she loved it. Like I said before, human garbage disposal!

Last night, for the second night this week, both girls slept through the night….I mean the ENTIRE night. It was amazing. I hope this is a new trend! Fingers crossed. And, Amelia actually took a step! A REAL step. I’m not really counting it as a milestone or anything, she’s not even close to actually walking, but we’re getting there. She’s finally realizing she doesn’t go anywhere if she doesn’t actually move her feet! LOL

Here is a picture of the girls’ new shoes. CUTE! Also, a couple pictures of Amelia. She’s up, and READY to go. And, her new face. SO cute, especially the snorting that goes a long with it.
