Happy Mother's Day

My Mother's Days just keep getting better and better. Last year Matt and Hannah got me my Dunkin Donuts coffee, some dark chocolate and a massage. This year, I have another beautiful daughter and I got an iTouch! I can't wait until next year!
Matt and I both know he got me the iTouch so that I could be more organized, but I think the key to be organized is the will to do so. An iTouch still may not give me the desire, but I'll have some sweet apps!
Patrick, Suzy and Kalen came into town to meet Olivia. An updated cousins picture:

As for the rest of these pictures, they are just a mishmash of what's happening around here.

Hannah is still doing pretty well with Olivia. However she has yet to experience less attention because of all the visitors and with Matt being home. Monday she will begin to understand my attention must now be divided.

I found these cups at BabiesRUs. So cute and makes me so happy to have two healthy little girls.

In the midst of chaos, our discipline of Hannah has gone by the wayside. Here she is destroying her father's wallet (which she is typically not allowed to play with). However, I told her to grab the Discover card and we'll go shopping.


I'm sure other parents feel like this, but all of a sudden, Hannah is a big girl. Since Olivia came along, and with my mother's help, Hannah has learned how to use a spoon. She is also saying more words...birdie, cat, all done.




This is a new one....yesterday morning I was on the phone and I suddenly heard the tv turn on (I didn't know Hannah could do that). I walk in the living room and here she is, watching Saturday morning cartoons. She has never watched cartoons before either. Super cute, but we are going to have to put a stop to this!

Lastly, a scrambled set of thoughts......
1. Olivia likes to cry at night. Not during the day, just at night.
2. I admire mom bloggers who have more than one kid, and find the time to take pics and blog.
3. We are tired, but thankful.
4. Hannah is super clingy.
5. I painted a chair.
6. I need to hire a stripper. I mean of wallpaper. A wallpaper stripper.
7. We bought a 1/4 of a cow. So we have meat, but nothing else.
8. We didn't think parenting could get any better. Then Olivia came home.

Awe. Olivia is so cute. What a blessing to have 2 little girls. I guess I'm going to have to catch up with all of you. Maybe I'll have twins, well hopefully not, but who knows. :)
