Yesterday was our 5 year anniversary. Cant believe it has been 5 years already. In a way, it feels like yesterday that we were walking down the isle, but then when you actually sit down and think of all that has happened since then, you would think you were married longer. :) The morning was spent at the office and then I had to pick the girls up from pre-school and daycare. I went home, packed an overnight bag for the girls, then took them over to Grandma and Papa's house. I then went back to the office to get Ian for our night out on the town. We went to the Waterfront and had dinner at Dave and Busters, played a few games then headed across the street to Sing Sing, a dueling piano bar. It was great. When we left the bar around 12:30, we headed downtown to the Omni William Penn hotel. It was a mini getaway. I'm glad we spent the night out. If we went home, I think we would have gotten up at our usual time of 6:30am, but because we didn't have the kids, and were not home, we got to sleep in until 9:30am. I told Ian we were going to have to do that more often. Unfortunately, I don't think we will find babysitters as often as we would like. :)Taylor will be starting daycare on Monday. I'm glad she is going, but sad in a way as well. I liked having her at the office, smiling at the patients as they came in the door, but I know having her at daycare is better, and I'm sure Joanna will love having her there to play with. She is getting so big. She turns 10 months tomorrow. She started pulling herself up to stand in her crib....looks like it is time to lower it. Joanna will be turning 2 next month. She is talking so much more now. She is always asking, "whats that?" and when I tell her, she will try to repeat it. Its so cute. Abigail, is at the age where she is testing whether or not she can get away with things. I'm having a hard time staying in control because most of the time she does something wrong, I'm in the middle of dealing with Joanna or Taylor, and cant necessarily stop what I am doing to correct her. I recommend not having 3 kids within 3 years. It is very challenging at times.....but very rewarding as well. Like right now, Abigail and Joanna are upstairs taking their naps, and Taylor is crawling around on the floor putting everything she comes in contact with, in her mouth....including my toe. OUCH! Every now and again, she looks up at me, and grins so big, I can see all four teeth. Its adorable!!! I cant imagine life without my kids, but there are times, when I wish I could just send them away for a few years and then get them back when they are grown....But then I think, "How fun would that be"?
Well, I am going to use this time to crawl around on the floor with my almost 10 month old baby girl, so UNTIL NEXT TIME.
