We Love Our Daddy.

Ok... so most of you know Chase is leaving again for another deployment next month. I am aware of the fact this is a public blog and therefore will not be posting any information about dates or locations, if you're interested (within reason and I know you or follow your blog or whatever), you can catch me at amy.green82@yahoo.com


Here is Daddy and his princess Madeleine! My two bald heads! Oh how we will all miss him. I guess that's what you have to deal with being married to a military man. People ask me all the time how I do it. It is nearly a common as the "how do you do it with twins?" question. With the twins I did not choose to have twins, I guess you could say I chose to be a military wife. But I love my life and would do anything for Chase.

I support and respect him 100% in what he wants to do. This is what he wants to do and being a marine family really isn't that bad. I love the people and living on base, the houses might not be the "best", but there are so many other people in the same circumstances near by, there are all ammenities within the base.

I have met so many other strong woman through this. I will miss him terribly, and I am upset that he will miss 3 months of the girls' lives, but I will be sure to update him with pics and I know it is what he has to do.

Please pray for us! Thank youu, Amy xo

PS - I will be up in Texas from 15th - 22nd March so if you are interested in meeting up and I haven't already contacted you (may have forgotten), please email me!

My little fighter.

After having Corah at her physio on Friday, I just wanted to reflect on her. How much of a fighter she is, she truly is amazing. Every new little thing EITHER of the girls does amazes me, but the things that Corah came through I don't think I truly appreciated until I look back now and realize how great she came through them all.


This was her barely a day old. She had trouble breathing, after having placenta previa affect her placenta, IUGR and cord problems. She was 4lb 8oz, though perfect. She spent over 3 weeks in the NICU, while her sister was at home with us for most of those.

That part for me was the hardest. Harder than any part of the pregnancy, having one baby at home and the other at hospital. I longer for them to be together, but obviously Corah couldn't come home and Madeleine couldn't come to the hospital.

But she did return home. Ever since then she has been doing great. She was 3 weeks of growing behind her sister but she just loves copying her and beating her to the milestones. LOL. She won't learn to sit up / crawl / walk as fast as Madeleine will, but she will cross that when she needs to. Her neck is still problematic but we hope it will not have any long term effects for her. You would not recognize that little fragile, sick looking baby today. She is a happy, healthy 7 month old, as are both our girls.

Here is a new picture for me to show off, they just love being naked!


Maddie is always quite the expert at looking straight into the camera, Corah not so much!

Honey I'm Home!

We are home. Wow what a time. I can truly say it was one of the most amazing vacations. Not so much that is was long or even that it was NYC, just the time for Chase and I together. I think it was a very spiritual and just, joining experience. I guess you never realize what you have let go off in your love life till you take a step back and look at it?

It is certainly true I had just been taking life so fast since the twins. Everything happened at once: deployment, pregnancy, TWINS, the big move.... I've just forgotten to relax, and look back at things and realize how blessed I am. I have a fantastic husband and two beautiful daughters.

On the topic of the girls, I missed them so much. We were only away from them for 4 days, but in those days they seem to have grown so much even then. I love my babies!

I arrived home today to find this sitting waiting on the table for me:

Oh yeah! Chase bought it to me for Valentines Day. I know I am a complete dunce but I hope with a bit of practise someday I will master it. He was so kind to me. He bought me the most beautiful ring which he gave to me in New York for our wedding anniversary too. It is truly gorgeous, I love this guy. So weird to think over two years have passed since our wedding day, but times really does fly.

Ok that's enough for now, but we had a fantastic trip, a great experience. Hope you are all well!

Hey from New York!

I love this place... I have am having an amazing time, and a fantastic time with my sweeetie. I'm just reflecting how we've been married 2 years now. Our lives have changed so much in the last year, but I love him with all of my heart and personally I think we make a pretty good team!

Although I do miss my babies and can't wait to see them again! But I am having a fantastic and beautiful, romantic time!

Mommys little wriggly worm!


Madeleine is in love with rolling about everywhere. She would roll from one side of the room to the other for the whole day if I let her I think! Corah is a lot happier to stay in one place, but Madeleine, oh no, shes my little wild child, soo active! I know she is going to be the one I will have to chase round everywhere when she finds her feet!

The girls are doing great. I think they are getting SO big although they are still in 3-6mos clothing. The oneise Madeleine has on in this pic is 3-6mos and its still big on her, and bear in mind she is bigger than Corah too! But I am happy with them, the Dr is happy with them coming along and they eat so much.

I have now started them on solids and they LOVE their cereal. They get two feedings of cereal a day and I'm hoping to maybe introduce veggies in a few weeks, once they get used to this cereal!

The missing triplet.

The girls had a playdate with their good friend Jayden last week, they LOVED it. I think we will have to be having these playdates more often, they all got on together great, she really is their missing triplet!

They are doing not so good, teething a lot. Poor little things. Corah was up most of the night being whiney, and although Madeleine slept well she is being cranky as well. It's weird how they are getting their first tooth at the exact same time, it's the first milestone they have really hit slap bang together.

Everything else is good though. I am getting SUPER excited about going to New York :-) Yeah.

I know this is slightly late but we had a great time on superbowl day! :D We had a few friends round and had a lovely time, and of course the Giants won oh yeah! I'm not much into sports but I love the atmosphere! Hope y'all are well

February already? - Finally Baptism pics too!






Ok I will start off with the pics I owed you guys from last blog, SORRY I haven't got them up I'm not sure whether its blogspot or my comp but it wasn't letting me put them up! :-( Enjoy... and HOW different are the girls? Oh yeah. Madeleine is deffos Chase's and Corah is MINES! :-P

But anyway, now it's February. Time goes so quickly! Next month Chase is leaving us... I don't want him to. Just thinking about being cold in bed and worrying again, just... worries me. How the hell will I manage?! I know this time he's not going to as dangerous a country (for our safety, and as this is a public blog, I am not giving out exact locations), but.. I still worry. But, I guess, I just will.

The girls are doing great! I have started them on solids and they LOVE it. They love all their cereal, can't get enough of it! They can make a super big mess too! They are still bf'ing and I love it. It is a lot less of the time but I want to keep at it a bit until 9mos, even though I can't do the tandem anymore. I just love being a Mommy!
