Back at work and busy

Well, needless to say, it's been awhile. I went back to work on June 6 and it has been absolutely crazy. Since then we have:

• Spent Memorial Day at the lake where Brylee managed to poop all over Maria (and I do mean that literally) but she was a great sport about it; although, they have yet to come back over... hmmmm.


• Went shopping at the Outlet Mall. Who would have ever thought that was a good idea? But, the girls did great and we got a ton of good deals. We must be really lucky because we hit all the "Today Only!" sales. Strange how that is the day we always seem to go on? ;-)


• Went for a walk at the lake house and for anyone who has been there, just imagine me and Dusty pushing the double stroller up that hill right as you leave the driveway. It was quite the scene. Needless to say, the next night we went the other way down the street and avoided the hill. However, we did get chased by the Wild Ginney who apparently lives in the neighborhood. Wish I had a video of that.


• Went down to the beach house and hung out on the porch but never quite made it down to the water


• Had our first pool experience at Susie's. No swimsuits yet so our diaper had to do. Brooklyn had a blast since she got to wear Aunt Deb's sunglasses.


• Started sleeping through the night for the most part. On good nights, they both go to sleep around 11pm and sleep till about 6 or 7am. On bad nights, well... we won't talk about those


• Interviewed our first nanny. Her name is Susie. We really liked her and I feel it is a special angel's way of still watching over the girls. Sometimes I still find myself just staring at the girls thinking how blessed I am to be able to spend those moments with them and end up in tears because for some, those moments are gone.


• Dusty entered a picture of Brooklyn in the Gerber baby contest. You can vote once a day at http://apps.facebook.com/gerberphotosearch/entry/182325/brooklyn.aspx Of course, as usual, Dusty waited till the last minute and submitted the first picture he could find at 11:59pm since the deadline was that day at midnight. The cropping tool wasn't the best so her head is huge but still cute.
