Our blogging has suffered at the cost of having way too many distractions in our new homeland!
With the pick up in the economy Johnny (John's West coast name) is back to long hours at the office- he leaves around 4:30 am and is usually home by 6 pm or so.
I am still home full-time with the girls, but I also picked up a part-time job that I do from home while the girls are asleep- I LOVE it! I have always loved working, and this allows me to still work a little and not miss out on being home for my daugthers. I've also found other projects that I am excited about that allow me to feel like I accomplish something and, again, give me some sort of "work".
And the girls! They are growing up, and they are huge fans of their grandparents who conveniently live about 10 minutes up the highway. They love to "'nuggle", dance, cook, and read stories. In February they began their diaper-free life and I love seeing the confidence and sense of independence this gives them. We've also met lots of wonderful moms and kids to play with in California. Our social skills need work, but we are making progress!

Crazy things happen during naps. Here is some aftermath.
We tried keeping a printer/ copier in their closet until this happened
Macy loves clothes, and she knows what she likes. Here are some of her staples- ball hat (worn daily), purple dress, dance shoes, and a headband.
And Camy continues to be as accident prone as ever. Since moving she has chipped a tooth and badly cut her lip, run into a wall corner leaving a gash in her forehead, cut (possibly completely through) the middle of her tongue after a dance move gone wrong, endured a block to the eye resulting in her first black eye, run into a filing cabinet resulting in her second black eye (2 days after the first), and many other less notable injuries.
Most of these are due to her love of running (I can't get more than a few seconds at a time), and she is sometimes cross-eyed- we are looking into that.

What a fun post! And how lucky we are to be the grandparents just down the road. The ball hat video had me laughing, the post nap picture groaning, and the dancing picture delighted... laughing, groaning and delighted... a summary statement for life with two two-year-olds. Mom and Dad you are marvels.
You don't have to post this, but I forgot to comment on the borrowed pictures. I, too, love the picture at the beach and the collage picture is great.
Its so much fun to see the girls! WE sure miss them!
After seeing those videos and pictures, I can see why you haven't blogged in a while. I love seeing pictures of the girls. Thanks for sharing!
