remember me?

deliriously tired but smiling

Where to begin? Life has changed and I am trying to keep up! The past two work weeks I have been on my own with the girls trying to figure out how to do things like play "hockey golf" on the floor (you know, the game with two straws and a heart decal as puck/ball) while simultaneously breastfeeding a newborn. The days are equal parts joy and pain. I think I will look back upon on this as a time of major adjustment. Keeping my girls alive, fed, and loved is all I can manage right now, forget real meals, showers, and cleaning house. Survival mode! Overall, we are doing really well but it is a daunting effort. Hopefully, I will get the hang of it and a lazy day at home will soon feel less like an Iron Man. That said, I do love being a mom and the hard work is so worth it!

aren't they cute together?

We have been to three graduation parties, the library, the doctor, a playdate, on numerous Target runs and this weekend we took a road trip to Winona for the Steamboat Days parade. Pretty good, huh? This week Nori starts her Tumble Bees class & Me Gusta Espanol classes and my mom is coming to help out. Coming up we have a Twins game and then a trip to the cabin so I better pace myself.

Henley is eating and sleeping well for a newborn. She will sometimes go 3 hours in between feedings which is more than I can say for myself. Nori has been very patient and calm in the midst of all this change and I am so proud of her. How did I end up with two perfect girls? I am so lucky to have them! They are lucky to have me too, I remind them of this fact often.

Finally, Happy Father's Day to all the dads in our life. We love and appreciate you all!
