How Long Has It Been?

Much too long! I have slacked in my duties to update my blog...so much has happened in the past six months. (It sounds even worse when I say just how long it has actually been!)
Not too much has changed around here...except for the kidlins!!
Matthew gets taller every day and is learning to use his words - he loves to say hi and bye - and we finally figured out that he is saying "bye dude" (when we tell him bye, we say bye dude and he has picked it up!)
Brooklyn hasn't gotten too much bigger, but she is more alert and aware of what is going on around her. She has a very strong personality! Red head through and through! She knows what she wants and lets us know when she doesn't get it!
The other day I had the two of them in the stroller, which is a double seater, and it had been a day full of tantrums and tears...well...this was a shining moment in the day when they were both happy! All of a sudden, they are both just giggling and laughing at each other! Music to my ears!!! Those five minutes (yes, they went on for about five minutes) made up for the rest of the day! Kids are so worth it! Even on the days when I want to pull my hair out, throw in the towel and yell "I give! You win!" - they always give me an incredible moment that makes me forget it all! I love you Matthew and Brooklyn!
