Changes
First of all happy late Valentine's Day to everyone! We had the perfect night at home last night with Chinese food, champagne, chocolate cake, playing with our little loves and The Bachelor.
Anyone who has children will agree that infants change so quickly (too quickly in my book) and anyone who knows me knows I don't do well with change, I like to have a routine and stick to it. I find myself trying to squish A&E into their newborn clothes and keeping the same schedule we had a month ago. Well their toes are about to poke holes in their PJ's and they are showing me that their schedule will change everyday. My good friend Courtney gave me the advice that instead of focusing on what they used to be embrace the present moment and be excited for the next stage.
So, my friends that is how I am coping with all of the changes about to come. A&E are officially moving into their own room and cribs tonight and...after almost 7 months I go back to work tomorrow. I am so going to miss my days with my little loves...staying in our PJ's till noon, long walks around Greenlake, watching them smile and discover things for the first time, and most of all holding and loving them whenever I want. I know the next couple of days are going to be hard, but I am just going to focus on the time we spend together and the memories we have to make in the future.
I love you my little Valentine's. Know that I will be missing you every second I am gone.

What we've been up to the last couple of weeks
Great Grandma Korfhage came for a visit and we helped her celebrate her 86th birthday.
We took a trip to Tucson with Grandpa Roth and Gran Nan. We went for some sun and warm weather. We got the sun but it was in the 30s the first couple of days. Trying to find warm hats was not easy!
Going for a walk out in the cold with Dad!
Taking some good long naps.
We finally got a picture of Avery smiling! Emma smiles a ton but gets a blank look on her face the second the big black camera comes out.
Emma does great during tummy time...
and Avery prefers to sit up.
And Emma and Avery turned 4 months old! They talk and smile a lot now and we even got a little giggle out of Emma. You can just see the wheels turning in their heads as they look around and grab things now.
