Suspense is killing me!

It feels like we are getting one step closer to having our own home. I'm trying, trying not to get my hopes up to much, but oh it's so close.

I will be disappointed if this falls through, I will be there is no denying it. This house it just crosses off too many on my wish list. Yes I can see myself living there. I keep thinking of silly things like putting my girls in the car one at a time on my own! Not breaking my back of them playing outside, then my mind switches and goes which room will be the guest room/office and which the girls room, then where do we put the litter box.

Confessions...

OK I have a confession to make...other than my niece and I'm biased there, I have to admit babies up until I had my own tended to look like, well other babies. I generally just assigned them to the ok they look cute category or wow I hope they grow up cuter than they look right now. I didn't get it. I just simply did not get it, they all more or less looked alike. One of my greatest fears was not being able to identify my own children among a mass of others if I had to. Ah but I'm a reformed woman.

Isabel, there is no doubt as to who your father is your resemblance to him is uncanny. Then Abigail my happy go lucky child smiling singing, ah you both bring joy to my heart, that quiff will not be missed in a crowd. I hope this week we will have some good news and we can think about moving into a place to be your home as you grow up, somewhere safe and happy with room to run around and get into mischief without too much fear of harm to yourself. In the meantime feel free to run amok around the living room try not to beat eat other up too much and enjoy your childhood.

Time Flies By

Ah time where art thou going? It's already near the end of June! I'm not entirely sure where the week just went. I think after a time the diapers and feeds all end up rolling into one. And at a request I'm also contemplating a photo shoot (cringe) something tells me all hands on deck for that one and it won't be easy but ya never know. The camera seems to love Abigail at least, Isabel well and the chaos! But we will see what we can do.

Looks like a good weekend to go house hunting! Maybe just maybe there is potential there, I'm crossing everything I think.

Isabel has three teeth coming through! Two bottom and a top. How fast they are growing still trying to find Abigail's first one but I can see three of Isabel's coming through.

Ah I hope we find our perfect home or not necessarily our perfect home but one with space and room for us all to grow.

My Wonderful Daughter's

How fast you are growing...Isabel moving around like there is no tomorrow, when she sees something she wants there is no stopping her, doesn't matter who or what is in her way. Then Abigail, my expressive ever so curious one, will sit happily for quite awhile and examine everything most thoroughly, including your own hands and feet. Isabel, who gets bored quickly and is constantly on the move, Abigail more at ease and able to entertain herself, how different you are from each other. However you share the drama when it comes to feeding...sheeesh I can't remember the last time we managed to have a bottle or food without crying or screeching and it's even worse when I try to feed you by myself, one of these days we may have a feed that doesn't end with someone (normally your Dad or I) pulling our hair out. Yet despite this I find myself often looking at both of you fascinated as I watch you explore the world. May you grow up to be independent and self assured and may you not fall into the traps both your Dad and I have run into.

Life's Journey

It's funny but there are certainly significant events in my life that have occurred to shape it into where I am now, but I think the steps we are taking now have never felt more important to me than anything except perhaps my wedding days. Yep I say days with a purpose. My first wedding and marriage was important because without it I wouldn't be where I am now, and at the time it was a huge thing in my life and lead indirectly to my second.

Then through the help of a lot of people I found myself again, and I found myself a man who I simply adore. From the time that I li,ved here till the last few years I have to admit I have never felt that I've really belonged tho it's hard to explain but I've felt in many ways transient. I noticed however a change the last time I went back to the UK...up until then I always referred to being with my parent's and back there as being home, but something started to change and when we left I remember saying I'm going home referring instead to coming back to California I called it home.

And now our roots are being planted we are looking for a house a house, never thought I's see the day.

Baby showers and some fun

How things have changed...the last baby shower other than my own that I went to I did abysmally with the games and I mean baaad.  This time I was winning, something must have changed :)

The girls now fit into some of the 9mth clothes...not all of them but the ones that size up smaller scary.  How fast they are growing!

Abigail gave me another bad night, to the point where it woke up her Dad and we had to give her a bottle in the end /sigh.

Isabel on the other hand is busy working on her floor exercises :)   Abigail is working on catching up but so far has only succeeded in going backwards but I'm sure she will continue to wok on those skills.
