I Miss You...

Margaret is constantly telling us she misses us. It melts our hearts! Hope she always feels this way :)

Big Girl

First haircut
Her hair is slowly growing, except for the back is growing faster. She had cute little curls that turned into a mullet with this on and off again cold weather. While we were giving both girls a bath the other night we decided to giver her a haircut. Well daddy did! She quickly went from my little girl to a big girl, as she calls herself :)
Yesterday Margaret (the last turkey :) was in her first Thanksgiving Program. She was a little overwhelmed with all the people but did a great job. Tried to get a picture of her and her cute teachers but she would not have it.
Langston (second from right) and her purse :)
We headed to Chuck E Cheese a few weeks ago for "Owens Party"
The girls thought this looked like a lot of fun until it got as tall as their mommies
Double Trouble :)

Margaret had a blast and is still talking about "Owen's Party"
We have enjoyed a few cold snaps here and there.
so have bundled up and taken advantage of the great outdoors.

Love this time of year!!!! Now cooler weather will you please stay!

Home Away From Home

Over the past 5 weeks we have gone to the doctors at least once a week.
To celebrate Simm's being 4 weeks, I took both girls to Carithers by myself. Mommy was beyond exhausted after being there for almost 2 hours but the girls were very good. Simms weighed 9 lbs and ?? ounces. Growing girl!
Poor Margaret has had the horrible on and off again cold topped with a fabulous cough and congested chest.
And back to the dr we go. Simms has had horrible reflux, gas and not pooping. May be thats why she is gaining so much weight so fast. She weighed a whopping 10lbs 2 oz!!! I was shocked. I couldn't believe with all the milk she spits up that she is gaining a pound a day. Great news but we just can not figure out her tummy :( We have tried every medicine and diet so we are headed to GI at Nemours on Wednesday.

Despite her horrible tummy aches, she does have her happy moments :)

1 Month

Where did this last month go? I guess you could say it has been a fast but LONG one :)
We have been trying to figure out her poor little tummy. Mommy has been on strict diets that haven't seemed to work and have tried every reflux medicine. On a good night (if she poops) I will feed her at 10 and she will wake me up again around 2:30 to eat. But lately the gas has kept her pretty miserable and awake.
Margaret use to do the exact same thing with her thumb :)
The napnanny has been our lifesaver. Simms sleeps in it between us at night.
So pretty :)
Days go by and I realize we haven't had much play time. I try and do it while Margaret is at school
for this very reason :)

Before this picture was taken Simms was screaming! We both tried to calm her down and were unsuccessful. Margaret asked to hold Simms and within seconds she stopped crying. Sisterly love!

Halloween

The cutest Strawberry and Bumblebee :)


Pumpkin carving time!





Daddy and Margaret did a great job!
We had a low key Halloween handing out candy, inside. In the past we have hung out with the neighbors in our driveway but this year we passed. Daddy was sick the night before and not to mention everyone was a lil sleep deprived.

Halloween wouldn't be complete without our annual pictures with Miss Langston. Cheese! :)
