TWINS!!!! A couple weeks old here.  Ella, Clara, myself, and Kailey

Ella, born one minute later. Definitely not identical:)

Naomi Jean!!! 6 days old and probably about 6 pounds. Delicate little girl:)

My main purpose in this post is to show off 3 beautiful new baby girls:) The bottom little lady is Naomi Coughlin (Josh and Ann). Above are the twins- Clara and Ella. Fast update on my life: Countdown is on-- 10 days of babysitting left!! I can't believe how time has flown... I scarcely remember her being a chubby little infant that sat on the floor and couldn't go anywhere on her own. Those days are looooong gone:) Now she follows me constantly and wants to help me do whatever I'm doing. If I'm making a phone call, she has her toy phone and mimics me. If I'm vacuuming, she insists on (me) dragging out her toy vacuum so she can vacuum with me. She's learning that she has to 'vacuum' at the opposite side of the room and then we switch. ;) Sometimes I fondly think back to the days where cleaning meant the girls were in their beds with heaps of books while I cleaned upstairs. That was so much easier than trying to explain to the 2 year old that no, she can't have a lysol wipe because its chemicals and she always has her fingers in her mouth. :)
One day she will vacuum all by herself.... *tear*
Eva is almost done with kindergarten. Her first day was not that long ago... I watched her get on the bus and I cried a little bit. She would be gone all day, every day, for the next umpteen years. What a strange life.

This summer will be different, I feel. I shall endeavor to stay near home as much as I can. I plan to give Eva some beginner's piano lessons... I'm looking forward to it, she is eager to learn. At this point;)
I want to do some gardening, some cleaning/organizing projects, and I want to do some crafting!!! That's what everyone is doing these days- do it yourself projects!!! I'm so far out of the loop! But fear not, I have been saving up some very special things that will turn into something beautiful. Soon. :D

Then, for my big news, this August I start watching the twins!!! I'm very much looking forward to it!
The Lord gave me a passion for babies, and I've always wanted twins:) This might be the closest I get;)

That will end my updates for now:)
~yours truly:)
