Today I spent my day with the kids in the car going to Reno for a Dr.'s appointment. Chrissy took them to the park while I was at the doctor which I was grateful for. Well spending the day with the kids in the car by myself usually isn't the best situation and today was no exception. We had the usual throwing things and fighting with each other, screaming and telling each other no about 30 times. Mind you this is all one way on our trip. I was feeling stressed out anyways and tired. Dwight has been working from 5 in the morning until 10 at night so I am having to do everything right now (not to mention my Prozac prescription ran out 2 months ago). We all know what that means. Anyways I was at my wits end and we got home I was trying to to get the kids out of the car and in the house and so on. I sat the kids on the kitchen counter to try and start dinner. Evelyn reached over to me and said "hand" which means she wants to hold my hand. I said "Just a minute." She kept saying "hand" over and over until finally I took her hand. She took my hand into both of her hands and said, "Love Mama". I lost it. That is the first time she has said that. I took both of my beautiful babies and sat with them on the floor and I just took a minute and played and sang and did "round and rounds". It is so easy to become overwhelmed with them sometimes but these are the times that I am so grateful to be a mom. They are the most wonderful blessing in our lives and sometimes I take them for granted. I know that having 2 two year olds is someones idea of a funny joke on me but I will forever be grateful for them.
They are fast asleep now and I am relaxing and enjoying my time alone but I will forever remember today and how beautiful my little girl was today.

I'm already crying and I just woke up. She's so sweet. I'd forgotten how tiny she was. Give them squishes and hugs from their auntie.
Who is that holding Evelyn in the second picture? Also, did Evelyn do her "ticka ticka ticka" when you played round and round? I LOVE that!
I just got crying at work you jerk! I can't believe how fast they're growing up! I remember the first blow out I changed, Now they're walking and talking! It makes me sad, and happy! I can't stand being so far away from you guys now! It must be killing poor portia!
