It has been way too long since I last blogged...Things have just been pretty busy and I can't seem to find the time to sit and take 15 minutes to write! Or I'm finding myself just too tired to do it. We all had a great Valentine's Day last week. M and I got to go out on a date the Wednesday before V-day which was very nice. It had been a long time since the 2 of us went anywhere together. On Valentine's Nat helped me make cupcakes for our family and the neighbors. I have a pic of Abby when she woke up from her nap and she got to lick the mix off the spoon. It was too funny!! The Friday after Valentine's we closed on our flip house. We are officially done and the buyers have moved into the house.
And Nat has some big news to share...She is no longer sleeping in her crib...as of this past weekend, she is sleeping in her big girl bed. M and I decided since we were home this past weekend that we would try it out and see what happened. She had a rough first night...just couldn't stay in bed...I'm assuming she was over excited about the whole event. But since then, she has done great! She takes her usual 2 hour nap and sleeps for 11 hours at night. She gets a sticker every time she sleeps in her bed and stays in her bed. When she gets 12 stickers (1 week's worth), Mommy will take her shopping for a book. Now all I have to do is relax and learn to sleep again...I have this fear of her wandering the house at night when we are sleeping...and it is causing me to not sleep at nights! I had no problem when I knew she was safe in her crib...but this is an adjustment!
Ab is still trying to walk. She can take a few steps, but then falls to the floor in excitement! She gets a kick out of falling down??? I can't wait till she starts chasing after Nat and can actually keep up with her. That should be interesting. I still can't believe how much hair she has...Nat was still almost bald when she turned 1, but Ab has a head full of hair...just look at that pic!
Not this weekend, but next weekend, M and I have a getaway for ONE NIGHT! I am soooo excited. Our sweet babysitter is staying overnight with the girls. We actually are leaving around noon on Saturday and will not be back until 3ish Sunday afternoon.
Well, my Nat is calling me...she is up from her nap! :)

Still partying, Grilled Cheese, & Suprises..
Yes, I'm still here. We still had some partying left to do after Ab's birthday. Next came Matt's birthday. We celebrated as a family last Friday night. Nat helped decorate a cake and I made Matt a special dinner. What's did I cook, you might ask?? Well, I do think of myself as a good cook. I enjoy cooking and I told Matt that I would make WHATEVER he wanted since it was his birthday. Do you know what he asked for?????????? Grilled Cheese and tomato soup!!!!! WHAT?????? He said that is what he was craving, but all I kept on thinking was him telling people that I made him grilled cheese for his birthday dinner???!!!! So that is what I made him and we all had grilled cheese and cake. And then of course I hear my husband on the phone saying, "Oh, we had a wonderful dinner...my wife slaved over the stove all night and cooked me a wonderful birthday dinner..she made me grilled cheese!!" Ughhh....he thinks he is so funny sometimes!!
The next night I had planned a surprise party for Matt. 5 other couples met us at a nice restaurant and we celebrated his birthday and then went out afterwards. He was completely surprised! I was thrilled that I pulled it off and no one said anything about the party.
And finally we ended our weekend on Sunday for the superbowl. We had friends come in from out of town to spend the night and we went to a superbowl party. It was tons of fun and I LOVED the game!!! Go Giants!
