Clearly it has been awhile since I've updated this blog. The girls are so different and so big. Grace is in preschool two days a week and Hope is in ballet. She has a recital coming up at the beginning of June. We took our first official vacation just the four of us. We went to Disney World for a week. It was a BLAST!! The girls had a great time, as did John and I. I'm back in school studying to be an SLP (speech-lang pathologist). God willing I will be done in about 3 years total, this includes getting a Master's degree. I finally got my Associates Degree (it only took 10 years!)
The girls are so big, and they have their own personalities which sometimes scare me, but they are definitely turning into their own little people. It's crazy.

Busy Summer & a lot to report!
We have had quite the busy summer here. I worked summer school; which was hard, but extra money is always worth it. It was hard to continue to leave the girls, but it was only half days so we figured it'd be ok. John was finally offered a job. Good news/bad news kind of situation. He was offered a job in his field <----GOOD NEWS! IN TEXAS! <---BAD NEWS! John has been in Texas since the end of July. It has been hard to be here with the girls without him. He finally found a place for us to live a few weeks ago. So he moved in there on September 1st. The girls and I will be leaving for Texas on September 23rd. It's really hard to think about leaving my whole family up here. I know it's for the best monetary wise, but unfortunately I'm afraid how it will be down there. Thankfully, we're only planning to stay down there for about a year. Then we're desperately hoping John finds a job back up here so we can come back to family.
PHEW! So after all that the girls got to go on 2 vacations this summer. Both were road trips! EEK! What were we thinking right? First vacation was Frankenmuth, MI. It was a nice relaxing vacation that John got to join us on. YAY! The second vacation was DISNEY WORLD!! It was so fun. The drive...not so much. Hope was miserable during parts of the drive. Like the mountains! She hated the mountains. Once we got to disney the girls had a blast. I was so excited to be able to have fun and relax.
Being a stay at home mommy is a lot harder than anyone ever says. I worked with kids with severe disabilities and sometimes being a SAHM is 100 times harder! That's crazy to me.
I wouldn't change being home with the girls. I've waited 2 years to be able to be home with them. I also miss adult conversations though. I'm hoping to find some mommies down in Texas for playdates. Maybe :) So...that pretty much brings us up to date.

8 months old!
We took the girls on their first vacation to Frankenmuth, MI. They got to swim and go on a horse drawn carriage. It was a lot of fun. Next month they'll be going to DISNEY!!!! exciting. The next couple months will be interesting, John got a job in Dallas so he leaves today. While the girls and I will be here in IL. So that's sad for us. Other than that same old same old here.
