It's been pretty quiet around here. Nothing too blog worthy. The girls were home with me all week. For the past two years, I was working three days throughout the week and Saturdays. But I'll be home now during the week and will work just Saturdays. A question people often ask me (when they see or hear how close in age the girls are) is, "How do you do it?" And I usually answer by saying that they are pretty quiet kids, even at home, or that I have a lot of help, which is true - thanks Nana Rich and Nana Marie! But I'm just now realizing that the truth is, I was getting a break three days a week. That helps a lot! So needless to say, I was nervous to see how this transition would go on the kids, but more so myself. Everyone made it through the first week in once piece. It's amazing how much you can accomplish around the house in one week when you have the time. No more feeling like I'm constantly trying to keep up with work and the house. I could get used to this. Let's just hope all the weeks to come are as quiet as the last. Grocery shopping, a farm, the park - it's nice getting to spend time like this with the kids.

I was trying to get a nice shot of the girls together. But without fail, someone had to strike a pose!

So I'll settle for this...

or this...

and definitely this!

Here's hoping to Mallory not ditching her nap anytime soon!
