GOOD BYE OAKVILLE....... HELLO GUELPH!

The stress is finally over. We are here, moved in and really enjoying Guelph. I was so unsure how I would like it here but so far I have only found positives about Guelph. I am shocked that people actually talk to eachother here.

We dropped the girl's off at their Baka & Deda's house on Thursday night. Returned home and spent most of the night packing up the rest of our house. Friday morning the movers arrived, and had our house cleared out within a hour and a half.

Brian was out getting us some coffee's when they got to the house. So I had to greet them at the door with tear's running down my face. I can only imagine what they must have thought. I was fine up until I saw the moving truck turning onto our street. I guess that was when reality set in that we were really leaving.

Brian & I arrived in Guelph around 2:00p.m but the movers didn't show up here until almost 4:00p.m We knew they were going for lunch but we didn't realize they would be that long. When they came in the house I figured out why they took so long. I guess they decided they would go for a liquid lunch because the smell of alcohol on them was enough to knock any one over. All in all everything went pretty good.

The girl's were suppose to come back home on Saturday but we were still so unorganized and without any appliances so they stayed with Brian's parent's an extra night. Of course the were completely spoiled the entire time they were gone. I know they were spoiled because when they came home they didn't even seem to miss us. We on the other hand were so lost without them.

They have adjusted well to their new surroundings. The first day they were a little out of sorts, but after that they were fine. They have spent the last couple of days exploring all the new rooms, opening and closing every door, and watching all the trucks & bulldozers driving through our backyard. Which they think is pretty cool. I know this because every time one goes by they say "wow, cool". That's the new word of the week "cool".

Auntie Krista we are sorry we missed your birthday so "Happy Belated" Hope you had a good one and we will get to see you all soon.

PRINCESS AVERY

SHARING ISSUES... A COMMON PROBLEM LATELY

MINUTES LATER......BESTFRIENDS AGAIN

COLOURING WITH DADDY

LAST POST UNTIL WE MOVE
We are down to only two more days until we move.
Here are some videos of the girl's saying a complete sentence! (with a little help of course)

ENJOY!!

THEN......

MARCH 2006 (9 months actual, 6 months corrected)

NOW......

MARCH 2007 ( 21 MONTHS OLD TODAY , 18 months corrected)

The countdown is on.... only 3 more months and the girl's are officially 2 years old. This also means that we can officially stop correcting for their age. I'm really happy about this because you would think by now I would be use to it, but there have been times that I have had to stop and actually think about it.


To be quite honest I already have stopped, I always refer to them as their actual age now.

My two little princesses are growing up way to quick.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH!

It amazes me how time has flown by. I remember the day our nephew Noah was born like it was yesterday. Now he's 2!

Also during this week two years ago was when Brian & I found out we were having twins. March 9th to be exact. I remember the ultrasound tech looking down at me and saying "oh there's two in there" I actually don't think I believed her at first. Once I saw the two little monkey's bouncing around in my belly, reality set in.

When we left the office, I was in complete shock. While Brian on the other hand was laughing and so happy. As soon as we got home and shut the door behind us, I broke into tears. This sounds awful and I hope one day when I tell the girl's this story they don't think bad of me, but I just kept thinking "how am I going to care for two babies when I don't know a thing about caring for one?"

Never in a million year's did I think I would have twins. There isn't a history of twins on either side and I wasn't taking any fertility drugs. So I had no reason to ever think I would have twins. It's funny because whenever someone finds out I have twins, usually the first or second question they ask is if I was on fertility drugs.

I was 13 weeks pregnant at that time and never imagined that in only 13 more weeks they would come into the world.

MOMMY & HER GIRL'S

FINALLY A FAMILY PICTURE

NEW PICS

Tonight we had my brother, sister-in-law, and my two nephews, Jack & Noah, along with friends of ours and their son Rowan, over for dinner.

All the kids had a great time playing together. They all enjoyed Jack pushing them around in the girl's toy box.

Somehow I didn't manage to get a picture of Noah, but I'll be sure to get some tomorrow at his 2nd birthday party.

I've also added some pics at the bottom of the girl's that I took over the past week.

DR. PHIL

I don't normally get a chance to watch any daytime or afternoon shows, the girl's keep me way to busy, but I thought that I would send this out in case someone is interested.

Tomorrow ( Wednesday) on Dr. Phil he will be featuring triplets who are deaf and blind. The only known triplets like this.

I'm going to do my best to watch this episode from start to finish.

He will also be discussing the challenges the parents go through daily.

A BREAK FROM PACKING

Today I took a nice break from packing and making a million phone calls for our upcoming move.

The girl's and I headed over to Angela & Elizabeth's for a great play date. It was the perfect day to get out of the house. The sun was shining and the temperature felt as if spring was just around the corner.

Angela brought out Elizabeth's water table, some colored snow, and a few shovels. Well I think the only type of description needed is FUN! All three of them had a blast playing in the snow. Once they had enough of that we moved on to some play-doh and dress-up.

The three of them also had a great time playing on Elizabeth's slide.

Hmmm... I'm wondering how to convince Daddy to get one of those.

WRESTLEMANIA & HUGS ALL IN ONE!!

MOMMY'S BIRTHDAY

Yesterday was my big 34th birthday. Wow! somehow that one crept up on me. I would have posted last night but my computer was down. I had a great day with the girl's. They were such little angel's for me. Maybe they sensed that I wasn't too thrilled about another year going by. All in all it really was a great day. My dad was in town from Florida on business, so he stayed with us and got to spend some time with the girl's, and last night Brian's parent's came over for dinner. It is always nice to have family around.

Dinner Time Fun!

ONE CRAZY WEEK!!

We have had one crazy week around here. Last week we put our house up for sale. On the sixth day we had an offer and with a little negotiating, we sold our house. I was so happy that it was over. It was so hard keeping the house clean, looking after two active toddlers, dinners, laundry, the dog. I had enough! Just when I thought it was all over I was wrong. The couple who bought our house wanted to have an inspection before things were finalized. So the inspector that they hired shows up here along with them and their circus of a family. The inspector decides he's going to rough play with my dog. I guess he figured because the dog was so little he could do this. After 5 minutes of him jumping at the dog and swinging his flashlight at him, my little Malta-poo decided he had enough. He bit him! The guy actually has the nerve to turn to me and tell me that if he does that again he's going to do something to the dog. In a not so nice tone of voice I told the guy to stop jumping at the dog and he won't bite you. I wonder if he would done the same thing if we had a Rottweiller? Within a half an hour of this happening the inspector finishes and leaves. Thank god. The deal is done the house is sold. Just when I think this crazy day is over, the inspector calls our house that night and asks if our dog has up to date shots. Are you kidding me? He's so lucky I didn't answer the phone because I would have had a few not so nice words for him. Along with probably asking him if he was up to date with his shots. Idiot!!!

The day before all this happened we had a nice visit from Angela and Elizabeth. Angi brought some crafts for the girl's to do but the twins were only interested in playing with the paper and eating the candy hearts. Elizabeth was really good at finger painting with pudding. "Thanks Angi for bringing all of that, we'll have to get together again soon".

So now were preparing for our move up to Guelph which is only 8 weeks away! I'm not 100% thrilled about moving for 2 reasons, first I hate moving, and second it's going to be so sad leaving the only house the girl's know. All of their "firsts" happened here. First crawl, first steps, first words, first birthday. I know once we get settled in Guelph everything will be fine. I guess it's just going to take some time.

The picture's I have posted are one's I took over the past week. Check out the one's of Olivia & Elizabeth. They look more like twins.

This weekend Olivia has added two more words to her vocabulary. When I tell her she is a "good girl" she repeats it back to me by saying "goo grr"
