TWINmania.

Is it just me who seems to think everyone is having twins these days?

Especially celebs... I can't wait to see how Angelina Jolie does with twins. I don't know how she manages it already, I have an awful lot of respect for her even if I don't particulary think what she is doing is totally right. Man it must be difficult with 4 YOUNG kids and now twins on the way. I know how I felt during my pregnant with the girls, hopefully she's not having it too bad.

J-Lo is another who just had twins. I saw their pictures and they were nice but I mean.. who looks and does stuff like that 4 weeks after having twins?! Brought it back to me what I was like that.. times of permanently hanging around in the NICU and then when they got home trying to do anything just to get myself together!

Marcia Cross is another who had twins, though they are over a year now I think? They were born while I was still pregnant with my two... as did Dennis Quaid and Patrick Dempsey.

The celeb world is going crazy with twins. I would say it is fertility drugs that a lot of them are on.... surely the odds aren't that great?!

Clever girl.

Look at Miss Madeleine and her new trick of sitting up. She's been at it for a few weeks but this is the first time I got a picture of her! Her sister just looks and laughs at her!



Corah is getting to be a pro at getting every last bit out of the bottle. My girl loves her milk!


So there is your update on new tricks!

Girls love Gramee.


So I thought I should comment a bit on the Texas trip! It was so great to see everyone again and thanks to everyone that came out to see us the girls loved all the attention they got!

It was so great for the girls to see Gramee again. She is really their favorite... but shh make sure you don't tell Grampa!

Both girls enjoyed special bath treatments from Gramee. Here is Corah with her 2nd favorite girl (after Mommy of course!)



and here's Madeleine not wanting to miss out on any of the fun!


The girls miss Gramee lots already and can't wait to see her again in May if not before! We love you Gramee!

The girls love their gansta friends.

Over on the "McLurkers" thread on July 07 babycenter, we got this siggy made of the kids all with their gansta names. I think it's too cute to pass up on! These are all C & M 's cyber friends! We love y'all!

and just to all of you on the August board, my bumblebee girls, I miss you! I need to get on more often I know I promise I will try and check in with you sometime but I hope you are all good! My lil leos too haven't been on there so often recently, it's just so difficult with 8 month old monsters to be looking after!

But this is just a special shout out to my friends on bbc, love you girls! Ok now I'm reallly sad.

Just to make this into a proper blog, the girls are good. They are getting more like monsters everyday! I love having Claire here to help with them though, they love her and they love the attention!

He's gone :(

Chase left yesterday morning. I'm surprisingly ok about it so far, I know I miss him but I have to say the girls here are so great and so strong I know I can't... be.. not strong.

We took advantage of the nice weather on Friday afternoon to take some pics.


Daddy definitely dressed up for the occasion in his.. "beer is better than women because.." t-shit. Oh always the charmer Chase.

As you can see Corah and Madeleine weren't in the best mood for pictures, but at least they didn't cry! We got a few nice shots and they'll be nice to look back on. Our last family picture for a while!

Enjoying these last few days together.

So weird to think soon I won't have Chase beside me anymore :( At least not in the literal sense. But I know he will still be there, that he'll be thinking of us all and will miss the girls like crazy!




This makes me cry every time. I listened to this video every day while Chase was in Iraq and it made me feel better, warm inside knowing he was there. I know this time he isn't going there but this video still means a lot to me and I thought it would be nice to share!

Enjoy!

Stupid computer.

Aw man. More computer issues. I don't know what was wrong with it this time but it just wouldn't switch on. We tried everything but it just decided it wasn't going to switch on. Took it in to the shop and within about an hour they rang us back saying it was fixed. After we had already waited like a week to see if it would fix itself! It just takes huffs with me every so often I think.

Anyway the girls are great. They are growing like weeds I don't think their Easter dresses are going to fix them, but I'm not upset about an excuse to take pics of them in their dresses early! I got a few great shots, so hard to get ones of them both smiling!

How cute are they?!

Chase is leaving so soon. I'm starting to freak out about it all, I know we have managed it before and it isn't for as long this time. But 3 months without him is still a long time, especially when we have two babies who are getting more mobile by the day! That really freaks me out. But I know it must be done and it's part of his job and who we are as a family. I support him 100% in it and I know it is right for us, and we can get through it all. Please keep us in your prayers at the moment however, they always help!
