Cheers!

Sometimes good parenting involves teaching your one year olds the important stuff - waving "hi" and "bye", giving kisses, and clinking sippy cups together for "Cheers!".  Truly important.  And oh-so-cute.

We say "cheers!" and they touch sippy cups... gotta love it.

Sydney is seriously just so adorable.  She loves sitting in your lap if you're on the floor, and she will stand in front of you and back her way into your lap.  She also doesn't care if there's something in her way - like Ella - she'll sit on her, too.  Below is an example of just that!

Ella is cheers-ing herself

More good parenting: child labor in the laundry room.

One of the best times of our day - "it's time for bed!!" - and the cuteness of two babies getting to the stairs quickly, and the excitement on their faces when the gate is open and they have FREEDOM!

Another awesome time in our day - seeing the girls after being at work all day long.  They just light up.  My whole world right there - so excited that I've come home.  So awesome.  I drove into our cul-de-sac the other day and, to my surprise, was able to capture the excitement :) :)

Hey, Sydney!  Momma's home!

Hi, Ella Bella!!

We grabbed Mexican for dinner with our awesome neighbors.  We try to do that at least once per week, when we are all feeling too lazy to cook and need a margarita.  And to add onto the laziness, we didn't feel like giving the girls baths, so we rinsed them down in the kitchen sinks.  And here's the best part... the #doublesinks are getting a bath in our #doublesink.  Literally.

getting squeaky clean!

Daddy loving on his main girl, Syd.  She HATES getting out of the tub... she's too cold, so Daddy had to give her some extra lovin'



ah!  I love us.. and this beautiful life we live

Since the girls are out of their carriers and don't nap after daycare anymore, Daniel is so adventurous and takes the girls on little errands sometimes after he picks them up.  I've been dying for a picture of one of these little outings, so thankfully my mom ran into them at Target and snapped this gem for me.  I love that he loves to take them out and about for fun experiences... he's fearless.
