Toddling to Two!

This month has flown as all the others have this past year. My girls are 22 months old. I can't believe another chapter is about to close and a new one begin. Juliana and Olivia are amazing little girls that continue to grow tremendously on my heart.

The beginning of February our family had been traveling due to Daddy's work. Since he would be in meetings all day, we decided that the girls would have a better time with their Oma and Opa Colburn. What a great time they had. Even though this was my first time away from them for this long of a time, we all managed and were very excited to see each other again.

We are getting very excited that the girls will be turning two. Since they love cats. We will have a kitty cat theme birthday this year. I have been busy planning trying to put everything together. Both Olivia and Juliana love to chase our cats around the house meowing after them. We have been surprised on how tolerant the cats are with the girls. I guess it is the lack of attention they get from Mike and myself.

The girls are still climbing all over the place and running everywhere. They still love music and dance at every genre they are exposed to. Most likely we will be putting them into Kindermusik next semester. I am sure they will have a blast. We want them to be able to grow musically and appreciate what it takes to be a musician.



Our new achievement is the toddler beds. We have officially converted the cribs into toddler beds to make sure our little climbers don't hurt themselves. When I felt like I was going to pull my hair out and give up, they are now successfully sleeping together in the same room with out getting up and waking the other sister. I am so proud of our girls. Our next task will be potty training. Not sure when we are going to start that one. Not really in a rush either.



Well, as I finish this post, I must start a load of laundry, bake some bread, and pick up some toys before the girls wake from their nap. I will say, I am very blessed to have such an amazing little family and that I get to see their little faces everyday. God is so good.

Ready for church.
