We would like to wish the BIGGEST, HAPPIEST Happy Birthday to our best friend and auntie - DEB!!! May today and everyday we filled with good things.
P.S. What happens on your birthday, do we eat store bought cake? Somehow that just seems wrong!
I'm the only one traumatized...
This morning I took the girls to Lisa's house (their caregiver) for a dress rehearsal before going back to work. I anticipated them reaching for me with tear filled eyes as I walked out the door and having my "Mother's Guilt Meter" hit 100%. The reality was that they wouldn't even look away from the toys they were playing with long enough to acknowledge my goodbyes and kisses. When I got home after dropping them off, Monty greeted me at the door with bright eyes and a wagging tail...someone still loves me;)
Hannah's First Work of Art
A Whole Year has Passed
Well, it's with damp eyes and a heavy heart that I am publicly acknowledging the fact that this is my last week at home with the girls. I return to work on Monday, October 2nd. It has been both the longest and shortest year of my life. Being at home with young children (especially two, which severly limits your mobility) can be so isolating. But in the last month I've met a group of Moms in Bowmanville and we do something together every other day and the girls are so much more active now...it's almost like I'm leaving them just when they are becoming so much fun! I could use any words of advice or encouragement that you have to offer...?
Happy Birthday Ben (a day late)!
Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa Perrin
1st Birthday Party and Dedication
This past Saturday we held the girls 1st Birthday Party and Dedication at our house. It was quite a crowd, but everyone seemed to have a good time. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming and sharing the special day with us.
WE'RE ONE!!!!!!!!
Today was Hannah and Grace's First Birthday!!! The big party is on Saturday, but we took them to the Metro Zoo to celebrate their big day! Grace reached another milestone today; she is now in a front facing car seat. We took them to the doctors yesterday for their 12 month check up and found out that Grace was 21lbs. 4oz. and 30 inches long while Hannah is 18 lbs. 8oz. and 29 1/2 inches long. What an incredible year it has been!!!!
New digs for Connectrix
New Year, New Look
Why the new look you ask? Well, on September 14th Hannah and Grace will be 1!!!!!!! Which also means that I am returning to work soon (October 2nd to be exact). I figure a new year/chapter in our lives warrants a new blog template, don't you?
