Motivation

Ahhhhhh, my running partner has returned to work!

I miss her!!
NOW, what am I going to do?? You are probably saying "what is the big deal"? Well, it is a big deal because she was my motivation to pack up the kids and drive 30 mins to run some trails and to do it by myself just isn't the same!! I am going to have to try really hard and dig deep for the motivation to keep it up! It was only 2 days (sometimes 3) a week, so I should be able to pull it off! There is always an easy excuse though when noone is relying on you or waiting for you!! I'll keep you posted on how I am doing with that! :-)

Zoom! Zoom!

That is how the weeks are going by for me! Zoom! Man, and they aren't even crawling yet!! What am I going to do then? Yikes!! I think that I am busy now! I cannot even imagine what that will be like! And I probably won't have to imagine it for much longer as they both seem to be on their way to crawling!

Since this photo was taken, 2 days ago, Ambrose has become much more steady on his hands and knees and is rocking back and forth now! He has moved backwards a little so I am waiting for him to just "take off" at any time!! Maisie isn't on her knees as much, but has this thing where she rolls onto her side and pushes herself upward with one arm almost to a sitting position! I think I am in trouble!! LOL :-)

The Lake

We have been to Cultus Lake (just outside of Chilliwack, BC) for a couple weekends in a row now staying at at Andrew's Family's cabin. We plan on spending a whole week later this month and another week in August there. The cabin is waterfront and the lake is warm so as you can imagine, it is really hard to be there! (not!) The kids travel well (thank goodness) so making the trek there isn't so bad. It is approx. a 5 hour? trip for us to get there including the ferry, but it seems to go by rather quickly.

















Ambrose and Maisie had their first SWING in a swing while we were there and they really liked it for the first 2 mins and then after that they got this really sick (almost green)look to them! Maybe we were pushing them too high???

Double Trouble

I know! I know! It is coming! I can just see it! Double Trouble!



Up until just a few weeks ago they were still sharing a crib. We decided to try them in separate cribs for a couple of reasons, but the main one being that they are both such MOVERS ending up all over the place! We thought we would try moving them (more for our own sanity) and it seems to be working out just fine! We wondered if there would be an adjustment period for them not having the other in the same bed, but there wasn't one! They took to it right away and seem very happy with the arrangement. We know of other twin parents who have kept their children in the same crib and I am not sure how they managed that!
