One More

I forgot to add this to my previous post. I came in to check on the girls before going to bed and this is what I saw.
I thought it was so cute. Sadie put Maddie's teddy bear snuggling her...notice the bears arm draped over her back. I wonder how long Sadie spent arranging the bear just so :)

We've been busy

Well it has been quite awhile. I just feel like I don't have much to say- I do the same things every day :) But some new stuff has happened- Kyle passed level 2 swim lessons!! yeah! Mostly I just wanted him to be able to learn to swim so he's not like 10 wearing arm floaties :) And he can do freestyle with the correct breathing. He is excited about that. I think we'll test his skills this weekend at the hotel. We are going on vacation ... did I mention that? I'm SOOO excited. We're staying in a hotel up by Anacortes Sunday night, then taking the ferry over to Friday Harbor, San Juan Island- staying in a little vacation home on the water overlooking Victoria until Friday. Supposed to be a good place to see whales. That would be awesome! I've already cooked, and cut up and frozen our turkey so I don't have to spend the day cooking :)

In other news Maddie is really coming to life. I just can't believe how much they change from sleeping all the time to being alert of her surroundings. For a couple of weeks now you can totally see her tense up when she hears Zach coming near. I don't blame her...I tense up too :) He's usually pretty good but he's a rough and tumble kid so he tries to be soft but his soft is not really. She belly laughed a few times last night which was adorable. and she is willing herself to roll over. Which i'm not a big fan of actually. I remember trying to change zach and everytime i'd let go of his leg he'd flip over onto his stomach. just a little annoying :) She likes being on her stomach (that's how she sleeps- all swaddled up tight which by the way when do you stop swaddling? I've never had a baby like it) Before I had Madelyn I bought some cute hair bows for her...me willing her to have hair. But as we've seen no such luck. So I keep them in a little tupperware for when she's like 3 and has hair :) sadie's favorite thing to do with her is "show" her all of her bows and the colors. It's really cute Maddie is starting to interact with her and Sadie thinks it's so fun. Usually Sadie's first thought is "Where's Mads" (a nickname that the kids love)

Zach's new things is to wear this backpack everywhere that looks a horse. On Sunday we didn't bring it to church...come one it's a HORSE anyway he he was SOOO mad. It set him off for the next like 1 1/2 hours. I finally told him that his horse backpack was in his bed sleeping with his blanket. For some reason that was OK with him. i don't get him sometimes.

In other news I've spent about 4 hours on the phone with Comcast over the past 4 days. On sunday our cable and internet went out...they came and fixed it monday. THen my computer wouldn't pick up wireless anymore. I tried googleing it to fix it , but did more damage then good so they came out again yesterday afternoon. For 3 hours!!! and the conclusion was my 2 month old computers wireless card is broken....i'll bet. I was so mad and frustrated. So he gave me something to plug into my computer to get wireless. Well this morning i tried to get on and didn't have the password so i called again. and guess what ... in a matter of 10 minutes the guy had me back online (my wireless card WASN't broken afterall) . That always happens. I get different info everytime i call back then they try to tell me my computer is broke. Comcast is just as annoying as the dentist. I know nothing about computers (or in the dds case my cavities) so you just have to trust them.
