Embrace the Camera…….

One of the hardest things I find with twins..is constantly feeling like I am neglecting a little one.  They seem to both cry, wake, poop, scream and “need” at the same time.  And it is so hard to hold them both, though I do it often!  I try to give them individual attention….as much as I can.  So, this week I tried to take some photos of Grey with me……She is actually screaming in these photos.  She wanted to be fed, not pose for pictures!

This was the first full week of Christopher going back to work….going back to “normal”…if there is such a thing.  It has been everything from tough and exhausting to wonderful and miraculous.  I still can’t believe that these two little ones are part of our family!

Everyone keeps asking me if they are on a schedule yet……no, they are not on a schedule yet…they are only 5 1/2 weeks old……I know lots of adults that still aren’t on schedules!!  They don’t sleep through the night…and probably never will.  They are endlessly demanding and it seems impossible at times……but they are also able to take my heart and wrap it around their fingers til it hurts……I love them so…..

Go Embrace the Camera…..

Embrace the Camera…36 weeks….

Well….I am almost done with week 36 of this pregnancy……pretty incredible.  I don’t think I would say that the time has flown…but it has gone by quicker than expected…..I think.  Sometime…way back when…in my pregnancy…..I took some photos of River and I……so I thought I would retake some….at 36 weeks.  I am scheduled to be induced in 9 days…wow…9 days….August 27th….very exciting!

I’m not sure what happened in this photo…..but it looks like it was something exciting.  After a few shots…River decided she wanted to be in charge of the clicker…….then she decided she wanted some photos of just herself…….

Anyway, go embrace the camera……with Emily…..

Embrace the Camera…..

So Tuesday took some photos of us..then Quinn took some photos of us..then River took some photos of us…..I figured there would be at least a couple of good ones…..Not too long from now…and this won’t be “all” my children……about two more weeks……(wow!)

Happy Thursday and go embrace the camera…….

Embrace the Camera….

Today, River decided she wanted to bury some treasure….but there was one problem…there were BUGS OUTSIDE!!  She kept asking me why there were bugs outside.  I told her that we were in their home.  She wanted me to tell her the name of each bug….she said that would make her feel better about them.  Of course, I didn’t know the name of most..so I had to make them up!!  Her reactions to the bugs were hilarious….but once she noticed I was taking pictures..she started to giggle and laugh.


Then she decided to start making funny faces and she decided we both needed to make funny faces….

Inspired by Emily….even though she is on vacation….we are still Embracing the Camera….
