Last night

Mia still woke us up three times last night, but the crying didn't last as long as the night before. Baby boot camp continues... We're hoping for a solid 8 hours of sleep tonight. One can hope, right?

Shocked and Sad

I'm absolutely shocked and saddened by the deadly shootings at Virginia Tech University today. Unfortunately, evil is alive and well in this world. I am so sad for the families of the victims. Their lives will never be the same.

Bye Bye Spring Break, Hello Countdown

Today marks the end of our Spring Break. In my mind, I had many, many plans for this week. Clean out the garage, Mia's closet, Grace and Sarah's closet, my closet, have a garage sale so I can park in the garage. How many of my plans were executed? Ummmm...well....not many. I managed to clean and organize the twins' closet, but that's about it, save for the usual housekeeping. Oh well! Good thing the closets and garage aren't going anywhere. So now begins the summer countdown. Today's tally: 21 more working days. I CAN'T WAIT!

Beyond tired

We. Are. So. Tired.

Baby boot camp is still in progress.

We haven't won yet, but we are determined to!


Good thing this cute face is so irresistable!

Shots and 5 year checkup

Grace and Sarah had their 5 year old shots this week (four of them!) along with their annual checkup with Dr. Kramer. Sarah weighed 34 pounds and Grace weighed 37 pounds. Dr. Kramer said they are doing so well, and don't need to come back for a checkup until they are seven years old! They sure have come a long way from five years ago when they weighed just under three pounds!

Tired

We are tired. Mia has been waking up every night at least two or three times, screaming and crying at the top of her lungs. We're very tired of it and can't wait for one night of blissful, uninterrupted sleep. Last night at 3:30 in the morning, I decided that we are going to enroll her in our own baby boot camp, where she'll learn that she can't do that and we're not going to go in her room and rescue her any more. Last night, mom and dad won! After what seemed like an eternity of screaming, over 30 minutes of it, she fell back asleep. Today's score: Mom & Dad-1, Mia-0.

The L.A. Zoo

We had tons of fun at the L.A. Zoo today!

Happy Easter!

Easter Bunny

We visited the Easter bunny today at the South Coast Plaza. He is one cool bunny. He talks and he's animated. When we walked up to him, he turned his head toward the girls and said "What's your name?" Sarah, in her usual shy self, replied "Sarah." Oh hi, Sarah, he said. He proceeded to talk to Grace in the same manner, then we quickly got into position for the photo. There's no telling how long Mia is going to stay in one place, and for a few moments, I thought I wasn't going to get her in the pic at all. But, alas, it worked! We had one very successful day!

Toots

Sarah: "I love you, Mom. But I don't love your toots."
