Night One

 It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. 

Not really sure how one would gauge success when having two toddlers attempting to share a bedroom, but I would call night one a success overall. Hannah and Jake went down to bed at the same time, with no fuss. Big win! And we all got around four hours of uninterrupted sleep; another win! Around 2:30am Jake was inspired by the excitement of our vacation to wakeup and start happily  telling us stories. Somehow this didn’t wake Hannah, but the rest of the early morning hours between 3-7am were spent with hourly wakeups from one or the other child. Surprisingly though, not waking each other (at least not the first night).  By 7:30am we were all quite tired from our efforts of repeatedly trying to fall back asleep, so we got up and started our day. Overall, we were very impressed at the kids smooth transition into bedtime, and we will choose to block out any of the rest of the night…

Miraculously, despite their initial interest in the ladder to climb the bunk beds, neither child found their way up to the top in the middle of the night. Another win!

Ramirez RI Recap

 Here are some photos from the Ramirez family’s phones during our Rhode Island trip, which only had a few because we were too busy having fun!  Grandma and Owen would read to Hannah at night Emma and Sara got to go out for a manicure/pedicure morning  Beach naps were the best Hannah loved stomping the water and going as far as being waist-deep in the waves  Grandma snuggles  Hannah’s first pigtail hair style!  A wonderful week for sure  Some of Hannah’s favorite phrases of the week were “chicken stuck” (in her teeth), “worm bites” (inexplicable where that came from) “Ice cream Truck” and all day long singing a variety of songs but in particular the “are we there yet?” call and response verse.  Some of Jakes favorites phrases were “Bamboo!!!”, “it’s heavy”,  pointing out any and all number 7s or letter Vs, and he really loves checking out fire hydrants and sewer drains on our nightly walks. Owens favorites were making excuses for why his eyes ...

Disney! Oct 14-17

 Disney delights! We didn't spend our time in Disney blogging, but I didn't want to have the trip pass without notice, so here's our back-blog (is that a word?) Sara and I had such a great time in Disney the year before, and the only things missing were Emma and Hannah, so we wanted to get another trip in before flying became an pregnancy issue.  What a great idea!  We all fit in one room and we stayed in the Disney Sports resorts.  Getting two car seats in our rental car was the ususal hassel but I'm pretty good at entertaining the kids while the new moms fight with straps and buckles and clips.  We upped our game this time and ordered food ahead of time to be picked up on our way to the hotel - Gosh we are SO smart.  Of course, we over ordered and again had more food then we could eat, but whatever...   Day 1 - after settling into the room, we boarded the bus to go to Disney Springs.   It was not snowing this time but it was still fun.  We ...
