Only a few more days...

I only have a few more days at home with my little ones as I return to work this Thursday (boo hoo)! So, I am going to enjoy them. I will miss being at home, but I do love my job! I know it has been awhile since I have posted (although it seems like yesterday), and in that time we have been mighty busy. Erica's (my sister) wedding was this past weekend. It was beautiful, she was beautiful!!! She and Brent are now on their honeymoon in Myrtle Beach, SC. I hope the two of you are having fun and the weather is nice for you!!!

The best mom in the whole world!!!

Erica and me If you couldn't tell from the above pictures, Ryan (being the wonderful husband he is) got me a gift certificate to get my hair cut and highlighted to get ready to go back to work. So, the weekend before my sister's wedding I went and got my hair chopped off. Then Ryan and I went out on a DATE!!! My wonderful friend DJ babysat for us. We went to Los Cabos to eat (yummy) and then we caught a movie. We watched "Eagle Eye." I thought it was pretty good. It was so nice to spend some time together just the two of us!

Claire and Oliver are both growing like weeds. They both have a doctor's appointment on Thursday (Claire's 18 month and Ollie's 2 month checkup). I update you with the most recent stats then, but the other day I weighed Ollie and he was up to 13.2 pounds and he was 24 inches long!!! He is smiling and cooing a lot now. He really likes talking the the animals that hang from his bouncy chair. I think Claire is about 23 pounds and I don't know how tall she is. Claire is working on getting some molars and has been cranky sometimes. We hope they pop through soon. She loves to draw (not always in appropriate places) and dance and sing. She also loves to pretend she is going to work (like daddy) or taking pictures (like mommy)! She is talking more and more everyday. She even talks in complete sentences sometimes. She just amazes me. Here is a video of her being a little mommy to her brother...
Here are some recent pictures of the little munch-kins....
Daddy napping with his babies
Claire woke up from her nap and when I went to get her this day she was pointing into her closet and saying "uh, uh, uh." So, I asked what she wanted and this is it. She wanted to play dress up in the dress I made her for this Halloween. Isn't she cute???
