A Groovy Morning

Necklaces From Presley

During our last visit to Victoria to visit our best friends, Presley made the girls necklaces. They really like them and wanted to show them off a little, so we got dressed up and went to a little cafe in Navasota. It was a nice day. Unfortunately the next day Eden got sick and a few days later Pryscilla did. They've been sick the past week with a cold and cough, it has been tough but I think we are on the up hill climb. At least they are sleeping again! My mom was so kind to come and stay with us to help me a bit, and now she is sick. Poor mom!!

But Eden didn't want her kisses

Mother's Day

Today was a wonderful day! The morning started at 8:00. Me and the girls got up and I had my morning cups of coffee and they enjoyed breakfast. We played for a while and then they went down for their nap by 10. I was able to focus on a little work, emailed out my 1st newsletter for Preemie Prints on Mother's Day which was very nice, and talked with a few moms. I also got to visit with my mom for a short time on the phone! Around 11 Brian got back from his fishing trip and I was getting ready for my surprise brunch he planned at a local place called La Rivera. Nicole, our babysitter, showed up at 12:30 to watch the girls for a  couple of hours and we headed over to the restaurant. It was so good! A gourmet buffet by an award winning chef! My favorite was the strawberry pecan salad, pineapple ma hi, and eggs benedict. I had a mimosa and then another cup of coffee with desert. It was such a sweet surprise! When we got back we all 4 took a short nap, then went to church, and then came back and grilled hot dogs outside and enjoyed a family picnic. I tried really hard to get a good picture with the girls but they weren't having it. Here are a few from this evening. I hope all of the moms had a wonderful, blessed, and joyful day today. Be blessed!!

Countdown to Easter: 2 days

So this is the post from yesterday! It was a great day in spite of our A/C deciding it would quit working. We were warm but I couldn't help but remember that today was Good Friday and for all of the suffering Christ did we should be able to handle a house that was not quite as cool as we like it. I met with a friend for coffee in the morning and to drop off a NICU gift bag that would go to a mom whose son was born very prematurely. She attended an event for The Children's Miracle Network where she met with the mom to deliver the bag. She also visited with other people about what we are doing at Preemie Prints. Later in the day I cleaned, SOME, and the girls and I iced the sugar cookies from yesterday. This was our 1st baking experience together where I actually let them eat a cookie with me and have some icing. After they went down for bed Brian and I cooked the fish he caught the evening before. We had grilled fish and noodle soup. A perfect meal for Good Friday. This morning I've been cleaning a little more, our family will arrive today. Tonight we have dinner at Christopher's to celebrate our Anniversary, my sister and brother in laws anniversary, and of course Brian's confirmation at the Easter Mass Vigil.
