I don’t think I have ever gone two months without giving an up-date. But as you can imagine life is a little busy with two two-year olds. The girls turned two last weekend and two years ago today we arrived home as a family of four.
A few things have gone on since my last post. Besides the girls turning two the biggest thing was that we took a 7-day vacation without them. It was amazing. Thanks to Johann’s sister Jennifer and her family, who stayed at our house and took care of the Princesses along with their two children. Everything went wonderfully well, including us returning home just hours before the most recent blast of snow in Minnesota. We enjoyed a Caribbean Cruise with 5 other friends. It was hard to be away from the girls that long but just made us appreciate them that much more upon our return.
One of the biggest semi-accomplishments since my last post is that Arianna accidentally went poopy on the potty. I say accidentally as our day care mom noticed she was pooping so was quick to get her to sit on the potty. Then when Ari stood up and saw the poop in the potty she repeatedly said how “Nasty, ucky, ewey it was! I totally agree with her, it really is however it would be so wonderful if she thought it was fun to go poopy on the potty! 
The girls are both really big into playing with babies, putting on diapers, feeding them, and putting them to bed. It is really sweet to watch them play with the babies. They also love playing in their ball pit and cooking in their kitchen and mine. Every Saturday morning they help Daddy make homemade waffles for everyone.
We just recently had our first bout of illness at our house for the winter. It was a rough couple of days with fevers and coughs, missed day care and work. We managed to get in a lot of snuggle time and movies. The girls took morning and afternoon naps, something they haven’t done since they were about 7 months old!
We celebrated their birthday by going to their cousin Andrew’s birthday party who was nice enough to tell everyone that it was really Ari and Brynn’s birthday. Johann was gone fishing so it wasn’t really their party. We have so many birthdays in both families that we are waiting and will possibly have an un-birthday party for them this summer.
