I guess I owe everyone a post, but is anyone reading this???

Here goes even if no one reads it. I thought I might print it out for the kid's books for them to read some day.

The last two months have had a lot of activity. We had Thanksgiving with Troy's family and then I baked Christmas cookies with my mom that weekend. I had a friend convince me to go out shopping on Black Friday. Only we started at midnight at the Albertville mall (only to find out they opened at 10 p.m.). Target in Otsego was the craziest. We waited outside for 1/2 hour and the line was wrapped around almost two sides of the building. I was getting pushed with carts, etc. and just laughing because there was nothing pressing I needed. I should have known better than to try to follow my friend (with a cart in hand) into the electronics area. I bailed quickly. It was fun but I can't say it was worth the craze. I got home at 9 a.m. and Troy let me sleep the day away.

Allison had her preschool screening and mom got a little sappy. She gave me a look that seemed to say, "Seriously mom? What is the big deal?". It was almost like she knew she needed to perform and scored really well. I am already sad to think about the days I won't have her at home. She has sprouted in the recent weeks as well. Her 5T clothes I bought and had put away thinking she would wear next year she is already wearing. She is still only 3. Everyone asks if she is in school and 5 years old. She is still very "helpful" with the babies. She is very loving and telling all of us how much she loves us. I hope she continues to be a sweet girl and never loses that. She has decided to grow out her bangs and when I pull them back she looks so grown up.

Bennett is a crazy man. He is as big as his 15 month old cousin. He has 3 teeth and has the most adorable bunny tooth grin. He is starting to reject his bottle so I think he will be on a sippy cup sooner rather than later. He has "happy hands" and swats at everything - including his sisters and dog. He is a giggler and finds most things funny. Troy was throwing a little plastic ball and hitting him square between the eyes and he thought it was hilarious. Not sure how many other kids would think that was funny. He mode of transportation is rolling. He is quick and very curious. He is going to want to explore everything when he can get to it all. His favorite things right now are the dog toys - yum. He is up and rocking on all fours and started to army crawl last night.

Laney finally popped her first and second teeth in the last two weeks. Her dubbed name is "T-Rex". She has the shortest arms... Most people's arms extend below your waist but Laney's come to her waist. She is going to be tall too but she is a peanut compared to her brute brother. Now I have people ask if they are twins because they are too close in age not to be. I would guess there is a 4-5 lb difference between them. Laney is very giggly and smiley. She is rolling everywhere too. She has mastered sitting up from a laying down position - she does it mid - roll. I guess it is time to lower the crib mattress... She learned to clap and wave bye-bye. She now claps at everything and loves it when she is encouraged to do it. She already loves baby dolls. She will sit and rock with one (while sucking on its head) for the longest time.

I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas with their family and friends. We had a good Christmas with all of our family and friends. We are truly blessed to have so many great people in our lives. Allison loved decorating for Christmas (inside and out) and cried yesterday when I undecorated. She got a dollhouse for Christmas. She has to keep it in her room so they babies don't get into the little pieces. I enjoy listening to her act out the characters and only dream to have her imagination.

Bennett and Delaney had a fun time opening gifts. They liked the noisy paper and chewing on it. By the time they were done opening gifts they didn't know which way to look first because they were piled deep in toys, books, etc. Troy taught our dog how to open gifts when she was a pup so she helped the babies tear into their gifts as well.

The babies have their 9 month check-up with the doctor next week. I can't wait to see how big they have gotten in the last 3 months.

Troy and I got talking one day about our house and they space we do (or don't) have. We officially put our house on the market two weeks ago. We shall see how the market is these days. We won't be hurt if we stay because we love our house now. We have found a couple places that have some acreage and additional garage space for Troy's toys and mustangs. We shall see how everything turns out. I like having my house spotless but might drive myself crazy trying to keep it clean after three kids/tornadoes rip through it. It was much easier when we sold/bought last time - it was only Troy, myself and the dog. I think we might need a semi to move everything this time. Kids add so much stuff. But they also add so much love and blessing to my life. To think it will be a year ago the end of January when I went on bed rest and quit working. Wow, how quickly life changes and how I have adapted and feel like this is where I was meant to be and should be doing. I am so thankful to Troy for working so hard to make it possible for me to be the one to call him and tell him about the new discoveries of the day rather than the daycare lady...
I hope you enjoy the pictures. Until next time...

Halloween

I love the weather this week. But in November? What a weird year of weather.

Everyone here is doing well. The babies have a small cold that Allison is now getting but nothing more than that. The babies are changing regularly. Both of them are sitting up (in the tripod stance) with the occasionally tip over. The funniest is when they are playing on the floor together and they grab each other's hands or feet and start chewing on them. Do you they know they aren't chewing on their own?? They are trying to get their legs underneath themselves when laying on their tummies. Troy and I have bets out on when they will be moving. My bet is by Christmas.

Bennett has two big boy teeth on the bottom and is sucking on his lip/gums trying to figure out what they are doing there. He tried a sippy cup for the first time the other day and it was pretty disastrous - he had more milk on him than in his mouth... He loves to jump and will cry if I put him in the exersaucer vs. the jumperoo. Bennett is the man of noises. He hasn't started babbling but motorboats every waking moment. If you talk to him he will blow raspberries in response.

Delaney is still my toothless wonder. She has discovered her voice more in the last week and now babbles and shreaks. She says mamom and bababa. Troy said I rigged it and don't encourage her to say dada. I can't help it my kids think I am cooler, right? She is starting to figure out that food isn't always a bad thing and she is having more meals where she is eatting better. She isn't lacking when you look at the leg and thigh rolls the girl has.

I have decided that now is the time to start letting them cry out their naps and overnight. They are old enough to self soothe now and don't need me running up the steps 4-8 times through the day of naps to fetch pacies. I keep thinking that at 10 months we took Allison's pacifier away. Yikes. Bennett will give in and go to sleep fairly quickly. Laney has a little more of her mommy's stubborness and she screamed for an hour the other day before she was hoarse and gave up. Boy does that pull on mom's heart strings when she cries that hard for that long. Today they napped like champs and we had to wake Laney after a 3 hour afternoon nap. Is it possible that we have turned that corner? I hope so. I just jinxed myself!! I hear Bennett over the monitor! Why do I say it? Everytime I do, they prove me wrong.

Halloween was fun this year. We went to Troy's office with the kids dressed up on Friday, trick-or-treating at Cabela's on Saturday morning with friends and then Troy and Allison went out trick-or-treating Saturday night. Allison was an Indian princess (she wore a dress that a gal from India I mentored at Target bought for her) with her daddy as her prince. Bennett was a chicken and Delaney was a bunny. Laney was pretty serious in most pictures because she doesn't like hats, hoods, anything on her head - not to mention rabbit ears.

I got a little sappy the other day (11/4) because I realized it was a year ago that we found out there were two peas in the pod instead of one! Wow has life changed since that day. I wouldn't change it for the world and have enjoyed the roller coaster ride. I have so much to be thankful for when I read the discussion board posts of other moms of multiples. The one that got me was one mom asking about weight gain of premies. Her babies were born at 2+ lbs and at 6 months were only 8 lbs!!?? Mine were born at 6+ and at 6 months were ~20 lbs. I thank God daily for the simple blessings I have been granted in my life and should be doing it more often I think.

Allison is getting too smart for her own britches. She was washing her hands at the kitchen sink the other night and she blurts out, "I need a towel please, hello, anyone, anyone??" Later that evening Troy scared her and she says, "Dad, seriously, you just about gave me a heart attack." My favorite is when she says she is going to do something and if it doesn't happen or I say no she will reply, "Or not". I guess I am guilty for all of those phrases. Makes you think about what you say.

Troy is doing well in telecom sales and just qualified to go to President's Club. This is an elite group of top sales reps that are awarded a week long trip with their spouse and this year is Hawaii!!! I am excited to be going back to Hawaii again (we honeymooned there) in March. My mom and dad will be taking the kids because it happens to coincide with my mom's spring break from school. I hope grandpa and grandma can keep up.

I hope everyone has a blessed Thanksgiving if I don't post before then (no guarantees).

Odds and Ends

Here I am and it hasn't been a month. Aren't you proud? I just started using Shutterfly for my pictures and posted them through that so the pictures are going to be in a seperate post below this one (I believe labelled Summer 09). Now I know for next time...
We went to the pumpkin patch with the Gunnarsons (and Susan) and had a great afternoon. They had a tractor ride, petting zoo and the pumpkin fields.
Bennett popped through his first tooth a couple weeks back. Boy can he create some drool. They both love to "motorboat/blow raspberries" quite often. But their favorite time to do that is during meals. You can imagine the mess. Today Bennett sneezed right after I gave him a bite of peas. That was a green, slimy shower for mom. He was officially out of his carrier seat right when it snowed for the first time. He is loving it because he sits up higher. This allows him to see out the windows better and also see his big sister (who is always making him laugh).
Laney is really interested in Bennett and thinks he is a hoot. She just giggles at him and he is paying her no mind, continuing to play on his own. He notices her when they are playing close enough to each other for him to steal her toys - he is already really good at that. Bennett is interested in Freckles (the dog). I don't think the dog knows what is in store for her. I think she might learn to hide. He isn't the most gentle when "petting" her.
Allison had Grandma and Grandpa on the farm (my parents) come and watch her swim this last week. After swimming she went to the farm for several days because Grandma had off of school for MEA weekend. They spoiled her like usual and she was too busy to talk to mom and dad when we called. She was greatly missed at home. I never realized how much I talked to her and relied on her chatter to move the day along. They took her garage sale-ing and she found "treasures" - consisting of dresses and accessories. She returned Saturday when mom came up to my sister's scrapbooking day at her church. It was a productive day for me - 12 pages done during a 12-hour event. I was on my way home from St. Paul and the Hwy branches off to 694 and Hwy 10. I was in the left lane and the gal in the right lane decided she wanted to go on 694 instead of 10 and merged without noticing the huge double cab truck next to her. She hit me while we were both going 65 mph. I pulled over right away and honestly heard the impact more than felt it. I looked in my rearview mirror to see if she was pulling over and saw her fishtailing all over the road. Thank God the other cars were able to swerve and avoid her or slow down. If they hadn't her car would have rolled and it would have had a much different outcome. When I got home Troy and I checked the truck out and think she didn't even hit the truck, rather the ball of the hitch. Her car had minimal damage too so I am hoping nothing is wrecked on the truck. We will have it checked out just to make sure something isn't tweeked or cracked underneath.
I am excited about the beatiful weather today (Sunday) and getting outside once the babies wake up from their nap. About time we have a nice fall day to enjoy.
I am enjoying MOMs group (Mothers of Multiples). The first part of the meeting is "support" discussion where the moms are broken out by age group. It is reassuring to know that other moms are going through similar days or moments as you; it helps to know you aren't crazy. I had a gal who has 2 year old twins tell me I am in the "honeymoon period". They are playing on their own but not mobile to "just wait..." Both babies are trying to get their knees underneath themselves when they are on their tummies so it will only be a matter of time before my house is utter chaos. But I am excited to experience all of the milestones twice over (ok so not the potty training or temper tantrums).
Hope this finds everyone well.

Shoot!

Here I thought I would be getting another entry in long before another month passed. Now I see the date was early September so I won't pat myself on the back...

The babies are 6 months old and they had their check up today. Delaney was 18 lbs 3 oz (86%), 74% for length and a little head at 49%. Bennett is tipping the scales at 21 lbs 10 oz (96%), 98% for length and 98% brains, I mean head. All is well and they checked out to be happy, healthy babies. More shots so that broke my heart to see them cry and give you the look of, "Mom why are you letting them hurt me??!!"

It was put into perspective for me when I got a postcard in the mail saying, "Happy half birthday!!" Really? Don't make me get all sappy about their first birthday already...

Bennett FINALLY rolled over this week. He wanted the stick horse really bad and finally did it. He has been close for so long. He also learned a new trick. I feed them their bottles in the boppy pillows. When he is done (typically always before his sister) he has discovered that he can arch his back up and push with his heals and scoot over the front of the pillow. Once he gets the pillow under his back he will swing his legs up and over his body and somersault onto his stomach. See the progression in pictures above. Once he learns to move he is going to be quick. By they time I get him from his crib after nap or in the morning he as spun at least 180 degrees, sometimes all the way around. He is a very easy smiler and laugher. I hope he will continue to have such a great personality. He is chewing like crazy so I am waiting for the first tooth to pop any day. He is wearing up to 12-18 month clothes already. I guess we can't call him little man any more...

Laney can roll and flip over in the blink of an eye. She is quick. She too can scoot herself out of the boppy pillow and roll over onto her tummy. She looks like a peanut compared to Bennett but she still has a healthy set of rolls to her thighs. She is hilarious when she wakes up and starts her little "motor boat" (or raspberries) - she isn't even totally awake, her eyes are closed... She is starting to eat her cereal and veggies better but she really likes her fruit - sweet tooth already (a woman after my own heart). She has a sizable bump on her gums so it will only be a matter of time before that tooth will push through.

Allison is still my princess. There isn't a day that goes by without her playing "princess dress-up". She had a bout of the stomach flu last week so that was a 2 a.m. shower and hour long clean-up process. Thankfully no one else caught the bug. I am ver skeptical of the flu shot and will opt out of it again this year for Allison and the babies. Allison is very interested in learning her letters and other preschool skills. She has a great workbook that she and I have been working through occasionally while the babies nap in the morning. She sees commercials on TV for toys and ask for it. I have explained to her that we can't have everything we want. Now she asks, "Mom, can you please put that on my list?" Today I was teasing her about her jeans being too tight and how she needed to quit growing. Her response was, "But mom I need to keep growing so I can get big for Bendaroos!" Bendaroos are another one of those commercial items she wants but I told her she was too young this year to put them on her list. She is starting to become very aware of her body and the differences of boys and girls. I will spare you the details but boy have we had some interesting conversations these days!!

Our landscaping project has turned into somewhat of a nightmare. The guy is fitting us in when his schedule allows so the neighbors have all been razzing us about how "great" our landscaping looks. The guy is quit a dingleberry. He showed up to work with no tools (used Troy's), forgot his copy of the design plans, etc. He did not follow the design drawings and has maybe 5 of the 30 plants in the right spots. Needless to say it has been a big topic of discussion around here lately. Those that don't know how it should look have said it is looking nice. We shall see how it all works out.

I left the babies for the first time a couple weeks back for a girl's weekend of scrapbooking. I didn't even cry - you should all be proud of me. But that didn't mean I didn't get sappy and miss them like crazy. I had a great time with the girls in Amboy, MN. Talk about small town MN. A couple of us took a walk at 11 pm and didn't think twice about our safety. We walked pasted a Chinese restaurant and decided we should try it for one meal. So we went the next evening... The only problem?? The place was gutted and had been closed for some time according to the waiter at the Amboy Cafe. Boy did we feel stupid... We had lots of great girl talk and laughs. What happens in Amboy stays in Amboy. Right girls?? I was very focused and wanted to catch up on Allison's book. I didn't but got 20 pages done. Not bad for me.

I went to the MOMS (Mothers of Multiples) garage sale the beginning of September. I was connected with a gal already in the group (thanks Jennifer!) and she suggested I come early to sign up and pay my membership. I got there at 7:30 (sale started at 8) and there was probably 30 ladies lined up at the door??!! They had to announce rules - like no hitting, kicking, pushing, biting - really???? I was starting to question where I was and what I was doing there. Once the doors opened the women literally stampeded in and I just stood there laughing before I got started looking. I had a woman wedge her way in front of me and look at an item I was checking out. Let me tell you it was an experience I will never soon forgot. I went to the first support meeting for the group the following Monday. It was great. They have support discussions broken out by age groups so you can hear from other moms what works for them (or doesn't) and to know you aren't as crazy as some people seem to think you are.

So as some of you know I have been trying to convince Troy that we should have #4. He is NOT convinced at all. But I told him I don't think I could send two off to Kindergarten or two off to college without it being very hard on me. So if I had a 4th it would eliminate that. He just laughed at me. Then he asked what we were going to do if it was a third girl since we have 3 bedrooms up and one in the basement that houses the workout equipment, Troy's gun cabinet and our home office - and I just shrugged. But then he comes back with, "Well I have been thinking, we can just add a second story over the garage and add a couple big bedrooms." See so he has been thinking about it and thinking is might even be possible!!! I am sure I will need to do more sweet talking.

Last weekend we spent an entire day juicing apples and making applesauce. We did 27 quarts of applesauce and 20 quarts of apple juice - and we simply quit because we ran out of jars. We ended up throwing some apples away but they had substantial spots so they weren't great for eating or slicing and freezing. We purchased a Vitamix (basically a blender on steroids) to help with the applesauce and boy did that help (since I smoked my blender on baby food).

I feel like we have somewhat of a boring life but I sure can write a book every time I write. I will end it for now.

allison - hello from Allison (she typed her own name).

5 months

Oh my!! Where does the time go and how does it get away from me all the time??? I can't believe it has been more than a month since I posted last.

Everyone is doing well. The babies had their 4 month check-up in early August and they are both doing really well. Bennett was over 18 lbs!!! and Delaney was 15 lbs 6 oz. Needless to say, they are both happy, healthy babies.

Bennett is my jolly, little giant. He is probably close to 20 lbs already and busting out of his infant carrier car seat. I am so bummed!! His 3-6 month clothes are belly shirts and the pants are capri's on him. I am pulling out the 6-9 month clothes. He smiles and laughs very easily. If you acknowledge him in any way you will get the biggest grin. He has the funniest laugh - almost a chuckle. He will laugh at you laughing. He especially finds his big sister Allison funny when she plays peek-a-boo with him. He will get laughing so hard that he can hardly catch his breath. He looks a lot like Troy and we have friends that call him TJ (Troy Junior). He has figured out how to jump in his jumperoo and can really get it rocking. He squeals and "talks" quite often and will occasionally get really loud to get one in over his little sister.

Delaney is my sweet girl. She is a peanut compared to Bennett. She loves to "talk" and gargle. She has many important things to say. She would rather talk than eat. She can roll over from her back to her tummy and will tolerate her tummy for about 10 minutes. Then she gets upset but can't figure out how to roll on to her back. She loves to stand and now has to stand to burp, she doesn't want to sit. Too funny! She is working on sleeping better and is doing well.

They are both loving their cereal and veggies. They have eaten carrots, peas and green beans so far. Next will be spinch, mmmm!! They sleep really well overnight - going to bed about 8:30 or 9 and getting up to eat between 5 and 6 and then go back to bed until approx. 8 a.m.

Allison is enjoying her summer. We went to grandpa's "little" (county) fair in early August. She loves the goats and we had to walk through each barn several times. Her little friend Brecken came with us and between Allison's multiple trips through the barns and Brecken's fascination with the tractors and lawn mowers, we were busy! Allison started talking to and playing with a sweet little girl and decided that she was going to go with her family and just walked away from us. Boy did that give mom and dad a heart attack. She couldn't understand the trouble with her going to see the horses with her new friend (whose name we still don't know)! Then ensued the conversation about strangers, etc. How do you tell your child to be cautious but not make them scared of everyone? She is very excited to visit grandpa's "big" (state) fair this weekend and help him show the goats. She was hilarious last year so I am sure she will be another "big help" to grandpa. She is spending 3 days at the farm this week before school starts for my mom. She doesn't have much time to talk when we call because she is very busy. My dad's cat Elmo has to be sick of her by now because she is constantly dragging him around. She even got to name one of my dad's baby goats. Each year he has a letter that all the baby goats names begin with. This year is Z - so the littlest one is Zipper and is HER goat. Boy has it been quiet around here without her chattering my ear off. She has successfully learned how to spell both her first and last names and has almost a little chat to help her remember it. She finished Littles 1 level of swimming at Foss and will be starting Littles 2 session tonight. I can't believe she is 3 and swimming on her own. What a life skill to have...

Troy and I decided to take the plunge and get a piece of exercise equipment to help me get rid of the rest of my baby weight and him to lose his sympathy weight. Now that I am at home, the kitchen is WAY too accessible and the scale is going to wrong direction. Shouldn't it be going down? We got an eliptical machine and Troy is excited to set it up tonight and get started on it tomorrow morning. I hope we can stick to it and see results.

We are doing the usual fall activities - juicing apples, making applesauce, freezing corn on the cob and making my own baby food. I have officially smoked my blender, oops. They love it and it is so much more economical than buying the little Gerber tubs of food for two!

I am going away for the first time since the babies have been born in a couple weeks for a weekend scrapbooking with the gals. We are going to Amboy again. I am very much looking forward to getting some more done and maybe, just maybe catching up on Allison's book, only to start on the babies' books.

I am going to join the MOMS (mothers of multiples) group and network with some of the other moms and have a support system. I have some great babies but we all know that some days can almost get the best of us. There is a large garage sale the group puts on in a couple weeks that members can get into early before the public. I look forward to picking up stuff that we have decided we needed another of over time.

Troy is working with a landscaper and we are hoping to have him rip up and redo our landscaping in September. I was skeptical of planting new plants in the fall but have since found out that it is the best time of year to plant vs. the spring/summer. Instead of working on growing and getting scorched by the sun, the plant grows a good root system and then goes dormant for the winter. Then in the spring it has a good root system to withstand the next spring and summer. I am excited to get it done because it was certainly a do-it-yourselfer job that was not done well by the previous owners. We will post before and after pictures for everyone to see.

I think I have written a long enough novel already and will end for this time. Besides I hear a little voice over the monitor that someone is waking up from nap. I love it when babies transition from waking up crying to waking up and talking/playing until you come and get them. Until next time, take care...

Nice to meet you!!

I hope everyone had a great 4th. We didn't do our usual drag racing weekend in Brainerd this year for Troy. He decided he would benefit more from going to a track in WI to practice and get his technique down better before he races. Last year kind of spoiled it for us. We spent a lot of money and he got two passes down the track before the weekend was rained out (and of course they don't refund you anything!). We spent the weekend at my parent's farm and had a blast as usual - lots of picnics to attend. Allison experienced a trampiline for the first time. She was not too sure about it when other kids were bouncing it - grandpa needed to be close by. We met up with one of Troy's high school buddies for some drinks one evening while grandma and grandpa had all the kids. By 11:30 I was almost sprawled out across the bar table sleeping. I am getting so old :)
The following weekend my older sister, Heidi and her kids - Kylie and Isaiah made the trip from TN to visit and meet the babies. They were here for a week and we had a great time with them as usual. Always ends too soon... Heidi's boyfriend Marcel flew in for a few days so we could meet him. He got to experience 50 degrees in July - our fickle MN weather. He wasn't impressed. Allison had a great time playing with her cousins. They enjoyed helping with the babies. The best was when Heidi asked Isaiah (age 10) to keep Bennett company in his highchair while I bathed Delaney. So what does he do? Teaches Bennett how to armpit fart. Classy :) Kylie was always the first to investigate and help if she heard one of babies crying. When we were all at my parent's farm is was mild chaos - but my parents were loving every minute of all 6 grandkids together.
We decided to start the babies eating rice cereal (a couple weeks before they are 4 months). They are both huge piggies at it and get more every place else other than in their tummies. It is amazing where I find crusty cereal - including myself. It is slightly disasterous feeding them at the same time myself. As soon as I turn to give one of them a bite the other one is drooling it down his/her face. They are going to share a lot of spit in their time. I hope they are ok with that. The cereal has helped them sleep. They are now doing more like 9 hours at night (eatting at 8 pm and then getting up at 5 am). I can handle that! The cereal has also helped make Delaney a happier little girl. She is back to her smiley little self and I love it. They both started doing a belly laugh and you can't help but crack up yourself. Bennett's "talking" sounds like a pigeon cooing; Delaney squeals and is very serious when she tells you stories.
I don't know where the last 4 months time has gone... But I still can't manage to keep my house clean even being home all day. But I would rather play than dust any day. My kids apparently like to eat and are growing well. I put them on my dad's scale again and Bennett was over 16 lbs and Delaney was almost 14 lbs!!! I was hoping I would be able to keep them in the infant carrier seats longer than we could Allison but it doesn't appear that is the case (limit is 20 lbs).
Allison is attending "Backyard Bible Club" every week at the neighbors and enjoying it. She comes home very excited to tell me about the lesson she learned and her craft. She is enjoying the time with little friends her age as well. We took Allison to ride a pony again. She was very disappointed that Butterscotch was not "working" that day but we rode her friend Peppi.
