busy, busy, busy.

Life has been busy, but good, for the most part.
Last Friday, we closed on our new home. We have been enjoying it for the past week and it feels right. It will be where Connor and Chloe start walking/running/talking.
They've adjusted and I think they enjoy the new house. We've even began taking blanket rides around the floor (both babies sit on a blanket and I pull them around the floor). It's quite the work out! I need to get it on video soon and share. The entire upstairs is hard flooring, either wood, laminate or tile. So there is plenty of space for blanket rides!
Our house has been hit by the stomach flu. I think our last victim is on the road to recovery. Wednesday night Chloe started the "fun", followed by myself, Connor and last night, Chad. Yuck, yuck, yuck. I hope it's a one time event, as I'm not looking forward to the next time. Chad was a trooper and helped with clean up. Needless to say, the washing machine got a workout through the night.
Unfortunately, we canceled out Thanksgiving plans. We missed out visiting and spending time with family. Instead, we enjoyed a quiet meal at home from a meal I threw together from a quick trip to the local grocery the night before. It was nothing to write home about, but I enjoyed it with my three favorite people!
I need to take 15 month photos and share their 15 month stats......both babies are growing like weeks and 40-60% on their growth charts. I'll share their official stats soon!
Ok, I need to get to bed. I may get some shopping deals tomorrow, pending healthy and happy family members!
Later, Jennie

Giggles practices standing.

I never know what to expect when I hear C&C giggling away while I'm in the kitchen. I think walking in on Chloe's short list. Love hearing these two giggle. It warms my heart. They have both been so good lately, just happy, joyful babies. They get along, so well, too. Yes, they have moments of crankiness, but it's usually due to being tired or hungry. We've gotten pretty good at reading their needs, fortunately.

And, FYI, no spoons are allowed in the play area. Yes, Connor is ok. You are confused? Move along, nothing to see here.....

Response to Chloe's missing nose....she will sometimes show me her nose. When she does, she will stick her finger up it half of the time. So she knows it's not on the ceiling or floating around the room! Fortunately they both know where their belly is, where socks and shoes go and have fun squishing my belly. Joyful times!
