Mook, you win!
here is it, my first entry. The reason that this has been such a long time coming is 2 fold. One, Chad is forever posting and two, who has the time? between swim lessons, reading Pat the Bunny 150 times, playing in the sand box and countless other activities, who has time to write about it. I guess I need to. ( Side note: I feel like Doogie Howser right now...you know at the end of the show where he keeps his electronic diary?) After all the purpose of this blog is to keep track of what is going on with the girls.
That being said, some of the best advice I ever got was from Amanda Poole. She asked me how I was handling the having a newborn and a 2 year old. I told her that I felt like I was always behind on the house work, the dishes always seemed dirty, the laundry always needed to be done and I WAS SO TIRED!!!! And on top of all that I felt like I was not giving Sophia the attention she needed. Because when Piper was sleeping I would try to catch up on the house and other chores. After I unloaded all that on her she said, "you know emily, when your kids are all grown and out of the house, no one ever says 'I wish I would have spent more time cleaning' "
As I type that it is hard for me not to cry. Piper is sleeping on the couch to my right and Soph is up in her room napping. I guess that I should be "catching up" right now but I want to write this down. Not so that anyone else can read it, but so that I don't forget that the most important things in my house are my babies. (that includes you Chad) So maybe my house is not as neat as a pin, and perhaps the floor needs to be washed .... again...but my time is better spent reading Pat the Bunny....again.

I promise not to bum you out with every post....that one was for me.
