laundry

one thing us mothers know is the laundry in never ending. it a "joke" in our house that we do a dark load, a white load and a pink load. here's the proof!!

breonna

only fair that i do a post for our breezy too! it's not hard to rant and rave about her. she was such a surprise in our lives. we had planned for her later than sooner, but with her we realize that we really have no say in the matter. she came, what seemed at the time like the worst time, but rather at the best time. i am so grateful for my mom and sister who were a graet help for me being a single mom for a bit while brad was gone. i couldn't have done it without them. i sure miss them and wish we could be closer:(

here are some cute pictures of our little cutester. she is a perfect mix of both hannah and ainnsley. i will be exciting to see who she morphs into over these years.

ainnsley

ainnsley is my funny lil' pumpkin. she has instantly grown up since breonna was born. i'm sure a lot of moms experience this. she does however she still "need" her sooie (binky), but we've been really good with only giving it to her at bedtime. i know, i know. i totally agree that i need it more than she does. it's another item that goes in the "worry about it later" file in my brain.

ainnsley has always been completely opposite from hannah. even in my tummy. then, brad and i didn't find out what sex our babies were before we had them, but i was so certain we were having a boy. my energy was different, my cravings, my morning sickness, everything was opposite. so naturally the sex should be opposite, right?? wrong! we had never been more shocked when the dr said she was a girl. i was thrilled. i immediately thought of all the cute clothes that she could wear.

ainns has always been funny. as a baby she hilarious. playing games with her eyes, laughing a lot. she was so content as well. she really needed to be seeing she wore a corrective helmet for her first year. what a trial for me. it was a lot of money, but if we could get insurance to cover it it would only be 20% of the cost. well we were denied because they thought she has "flathead" which can be avoided. ainnsley had a rare condition in which her head plates weren't fusing together. so we appealed and a friend recommended we call his lawyer friend who represented us... for free!! what a blessing!! with his help we won the appeal, and ainnsley's head was being shaped correctly. at that time i was sure there was no end in sight. looking back, it was just a blink of an eye.


we are so blessed to have our ainnsler's in our family. she knows she's funny, so we never know what hilarious thing will fly out of her mouth, at any given moment. don't get me wrong, she can be a super -grump at any given moment as well. the picture above is a rare moment where her and breonna were getting along. she means well with breonna, but her curiosity almost always ends up with breonna crying. we love you ainnslers!!
