Two 2 yr. olds!

So we have reached that special time of the year when I have two children the same age. This year I have two 2 yr. olds! It's hard to believe, but I little girls are growing up! On Saturday, April 18th Caroline turned 2. We had a nice quiet celebration with some friends and family. Caroline loved the cake, of course! This year the girls got a combined gift. All the grandparents contributed and got the girls their big girl bed. I love Makayla's response once we got it set up. She walked in the room and said, "It's a garden!" She loves the flowers all over her comforter. Of course, now she is too big to use her blankie, at least Caroline still appreciates hers!
Josh is finishing up his 3rd semester, so we are down to counting down weeks until graduation. We are both still uncertain about exactly what the future holds for our family, but we are thankful to have a job when he graduates.
Here are some pictures from the past week, including Caroline's birthday.

So forgetful!

I keeping forgetting to post the link to the bow making course that my friends and I put together. It's a wonderful manual with over 100 pages and over 400 detailed pictures. Also included is a DVD with over 2hrs of footage. The course not only teaches you to make hair bows, but also gift bows, decorative bows, basically any kind of bow you would like to make, I can teach you! Check out the website at http://www.learnhowtomakebows.com
Was that a good commercial or what?

Not much to report

Hello friends and family! I wish we had something interesting to blog about, but life is just going on as usual, I guess that's a good thing. Makayla has entered an interesting stage. Let's say she doesn't want to do something we ask her to do, like pick up her toys. Our response to Makayla is "Well, I'm so sorry you don't want to pick up your toys, but you have to." Her response is "Thank you Mommy, thank you for saying you were sorry." And then she proceeds to pick up her toys. Amazing, I wonder how long this will last.... She also is great at complementing. Let's say I help her get her shoes on. She will say to me "Thank you Mommy! Thank you for helping me get my shoes on. That was very nice!" Imagine her saying this with all the enthusiasm and sincerity that a two year old can muster up. She's silly.
