How is it possible that I just wrote “1-YEAR-OLD TWINS” in that heading?!
I’m still in total denial that my babies turned one, sorry. The month of March was a good one around here! 🙂 We were wrapping up the end of our ‘off season’ and so we squeezed in as much time with family and friends as possible amid our sessions and meetings for work. As you already know – the boys turned one on March 10th and we spent most of the weekend celebrating! We had family and friends over and my parents stayed over the night before the party to get a little extra time with the boys. (In reality it worked out perfect for me because my mom was here to help me party prep – which apparently I really needed help with because I swear she did the majority of it! THANKS MOM!) 🙂
I also had my first night(s) away from the boys over St. Patrick’s Day weekend, which going into I was super nervous about because I have never left them and also neither James or myself have ever had to take care of the boys overnight alone. Also, Micah still tends to lose his mind looking for mama to nurse from (mostly for comfort, lets just be honest – the boys loves cuddles and I’m not (usually) mad about it) – so I wasn’t sure how he’d do overnight with me gone. Well, the first night was a little rough and the boys tag teamed James initially but then settled in. The second night they realized mama had been gone all day and so they slept like champs for James! They each only woke up one time (which is some kind of record) and were great to him! The only problem is that James was so worried about sleeping through someone crying or needing something that he hardly slept anyway. He said he probably got 8 hours total over the two nights I was gone.
Meanwhile I had one of the best massages of my life at The Abbey Resort in Fontana (Lake Geneva) Wisconsin for my sister’s 40th birthday spa weekend celebration! (Seriously highly recommend that resort! The food was “meh”, but the massages and spa area were wonderful and would be perfect for a couple’s weekend or girls’ weekend! And the price felt like a steal – so that was awesome!) It all turned out to be some much needed pampering and much needed time with my mom and sister – who I don’t see or spend time with one on one often enough!!
March was also one of our few HEALTHY months around here. I don’t know how – but we seem to constantly be sick from something over here – at least every other month – so it was nice to have a low-key healthy month over here for everyone!!
Anyway – enough chatter from me – here’s a little peek (ahem, way too many photos) behind the scenes! 🙂
