Little Devil is quite an understatement! Marin has had some pretty difficult days lately & it's taken all of my energy to deal with her! Lots of crying, hanging on my leg & huge tantrums. She did cut her 4th eye tooth yesterday & so far she seems to be a little less irritable. But only time will tell if that was to blame for her tantrum-prone last few days. I also added a pic of Margaux making her way up the stairs. (No worries, I was right behind her!) The gate is there to stop her from going up on her won, but we've been following her up every now & then to give her some practice. Happy Monday!! xoxo

We had a low-key morning & ended up at the park as usual. Just one more place that never seems to get old. Margaux could swing for hours!! Marin is content talking to strangers & running around like a maniac! xoxo

Random shots of the girls & a cute video of Miss Margaux. Have a good weekend! xoxo

She was very excited about the boats until they started moving....so sad!!

Feeding the "quacks" with Daddy.

1st car for our girls! Thanks Grandma!

Weekend in GB...Gary & I had a wedding so the girls stayed with G&G for the night. Gary enjoyed himself a little too much that night. (Sorry to say there are not any pictures from that!!) Saturday we took Marin to Bay Beach. She did not like it at all. She was excited to ride in the purple boat until it started moving...then it was nothing but sad, sad crying. I felt so bad b/c I couldn't get her off until the ride was done. It was hard watching her! Next time we'll try it with a friend so she doesn't have to ride alone. She did enjoy feeding the ducks @ the Wildlife Sanctuary. Also pictured, the girls with their new car from Grandma. Let's hope they are that good at sharing a car 15 years from now!! xoxo

Bring on the BEER & lots of it!!!

Cupcakes I made & brought in to work for Gary today along with lunch.

All dressed up for a graduation picture for Daddy!

Above-Gary (half in the bag) during his "mock" graduation w/ a rolled up US Weekly as his diploma. (5.16.09)

It's official... Gary has a Masters Degree! It's been a long two years & we are oh, so excited for him to be finished. He's been saying for months that when he finishes, he's going to get blackout drunk & his time has come! haha We have several celebrations planned so we'll see just how much he celebrates. He took his last test tonight. Marin posed for a picture with Daddy @ the computer one last time just before she went to bed. She walked into her room yelling repeatedly to him "Good Luck Daddy. Daddy taking a test!" It was cute. It's a big moment that we've all been waiting for... ahhh, a HUGE sigh of relief! CONGRATS GARY!! We are SO proud & super excited to end every day with a homework-free night!!! xoxoxoxoxo

Of course when I turn on the camera she stops shoveling them into her mouth. 1st attempt at cubed sweet potato.

Kids... What kids?!

Katie & Dan came down this weekend to watch the girls while we went to a friend's wedding. (Thank you!) It was nice to have an afternoon/night out with friends. It seems like we've slowly been having more & more away-time lately. A sign of the girls getting bigger I suppose. Thought I'd post some "me" pictures since the blog usually has no love for Mommy & Daddy! xo
