Happy New Year! Our babies are 6 months old!!

Have you made your goals for 2011?? I have! And don't you worry your little heart out, I'm on Ricky's bootay to get his done :) I don't think I'm going to share any of them until I accomplish each of them and we will celebrate BIG on the blog somehow, even with me in PA.
SO, the holidays are over which means I can officially stop snacking on everything edible. Although, I could always go for some rum cakes since MEME didn't make any this year :( BOO HOO!!

On to important stuff...
Our three gorgeous babies are fantastic. They sleep through the night now :) Not that they didn't before but I use to have to feed them every three hours and then every four. Not now, they all take after me and love to sleep. Madi is rolling over! That is so awesome! At first, she was not sure it was a great thing and it scared her really bad but after me clapping and screaming and cheering, I think she gets that it is super cool! Not to worry, my kids already know I'm crazy :) Gracie is amazing. She smiles so pretty and then a half second later, she is screaming. Not really screaming because she is still non vocal but mom and dad are very aware she is not happy. Brody is chill. Maybe a little too chill but I'm working on that. He pulled out his feeding tube and I decided I was really tired of putting it back in. That might sound bad but he is 14 pounds he needs to act as big as he is :) So, we had a chat and I told him he would take bottles from now on. I think this is day 4 of all bottles and no feeding tube. We fight every feed. Its not that he can't take a bottle, he just does not want to. When he is hungry he likes to magically become full. I really feel like a week or so more he will be a pro.
At this point, you can't walk in our house. It is literally like Babies R Us mixed with a daycare. Let me not forget to add that I still have the Christmas tree up. My thoughts are this: why should I organize or clean if movers are going to come in, totally pack us, label everything and then unpack us in PA?? I've got better things to do like take care of my babes. The only down side is that we have a lot of company coming to see us before we leave. The sad thing is I have no shame LOL!
Moving on... PA
So, I have a vision in my head that PA will be so white and cozy and wonderful. What if reality isn't what I picture? Oh and the great news.... WE STILL HAVE NO HOUSE THERE! Isn't that great? The relocation person has to contact us and find us a Realtor and all that jazz. On top of that, we have to drive. It is a 21 hour drive. Is that not the best? Let's load up our three little snow bunnies and dog and drive for days in the middle of winter with snow blizzards everywhere. Sounds fun huh? Little did we know, you have to have a baby per adult to fly until the children are 2. Finding that out was just great. I'm still dealing with that. My plan was to fly down every 6 months or so to see my people. Not happening now. Ricky said I could fly out for the weekend but what fun is that without him and my babies? Plus, if I have the weekend off and can fly somewhere, why not have my friends meet me in NYC? Sorry Texas but NYC is much better :) Or, if he really wanted to give me time off, why not fly to a Mexico vacation. After all the snow I'm sure I will need sand and sunshine.  Oh and did anyone realize that a snow jacket is like $250!?!?! And are we suppose to wear gloves? And do you have to wear those thermal pants under jeans? That adds pounds!
OK, well enough. I hope you have a fantastic year. Ricky is turning 30 soon and I'm do something so cool for his birthday but more on that later.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

OUR BABIES ARE 6 MONTHS OLD.... ALREADY!  Where has the time gone?
