Such a pretty little...boy?

OK, let's face it, I have beautiful children. They are precious and perfect in every way. Now, if you were to ask me about this at around 3:00 AM, I might have a different answer, but they're sleeping now, so I will go with the moment. However, every time we're out, some innocent bystander asks me if I have one boy and one girl. They think that Aurora is a boy. I've always said that she looks like my father {see photo below}, but she's still a pretty GIRL! Short of putting her in a tutu with a flower on her head, I don't think I can dress her any 'girly-er' than this...

Oh but wait....who's this????

Hanging out on the Top bunk

Big brother has bunk beds in his room. The top bunk is the place to be. Both girls love it up there. Here's a few shot of BK enjoying some time with brother.

Mommy, mommy, look everywhere....

...but don't look under the exersaucer! I guess Aurora was playing hide-and-seek. I took BK into the kitchen to get her in her high chair for breakfast and turned around to get Aurora and this is what I found...

Busted!

Reflecting

I feel inspired today to reflect back upon the time the girls spent in the NICU. For those of you who don't know, Bettye Katheryne was there for 3 weeks and Aurora came home after 5 weeks and 2 days. It was the most tumultuous time of my life. It was much much worse than being on hospital bed rest for 8 weeks. Funny enough, however hard it was to endure at the time, it feels like an eternity ago now. I don't know that we've ever shared these videos before. Both of these were taken by my husband to show to me before I was able to go visit the girls in the NICU {it was 20 hours before I had the strength to walk down the hall}.

Bettye Katheryne {truly, I tried to find a more exciting video of her,

but she's just a laid back kind of girl!}

Happy Birthday to ME!

July 14th was my birthday. I had two cakes. Yes, TWO cakes. They were both made by the amazing Betty Weber. If you've never had her cakes, I'm so sorry for you. If you attended my wedding and ate cake, you had her cakes and you're welcome. Here's my cakes...

My Birthday Cake from my party on Sunday

All I asked for for my birthday was money to get the girls their next car seats. After much debate, we went with the Evenflo Triumph Advanced Convertible car seats. We brought them home and let the girls try them out...

Too cute!

Aurora's Video Time

No words, just cuteness...
