Phew

I totally missed the memo that Reader was going away... So I panicked for a couple days before I realized I could still save everything and import it elsewhere.  I know I don't post much (ever), but I still read everyone else's blogs!

Anyway.

The kiddos are two now!  Yikes!  They've been total monsters lately - not listening, whining, fighting with each other All The Time.  It's been super duper fun.  When they're not being monsters, though, they are pretty amazing.  It's so neat to be able to have semi-coherent conversations with them!  They are turning into actual people!  So weird.  I love the ridiculous words they have for things... For example: Hair elastics="monies" (rhymes with ponies) and Chair="sat down" (e.g. "That's MY sat down!!!").  I also enjoy when they try to get each other in trouble by saying "H dooooo!!!" or "G dooooooo!"  Guessing that came from us saying "Ok, what did G do?" 

We had some professional pics taken for their birthday.  I think they came out pretty great. :)

Traveling

Guess who's almost two!!

We're taking the plunge and flying with the kiddos in a couple weeks. My step sister lives in TX, so we thought it might be fun to bring H & G to meet her and their new cousin. My dad and step mom are going to fly out from CT to meet us there. Plus, we figured we should do this before their second birthday... Otherwise it would cost twice as much.

The trip itself should be fun, but we're pretty terrified to fly with two not quite 2 year olds. We have portable dvd players, books, our phones, and plenty of stuff for them to play with. But they are not big fans of sitting still for more than a couple minutes at a time. H especially... If she doesn't want to be held, she will definitely let us know by screaming and flailing. Super fun. Hopefully we are seated next to very understanding and kid friendly people!!!

Any tips on flying with toddlers??

... And the obligatory pictures. For the record, they have their own cribs. She just sneaks into his nearly every night once she thinks we won't notice.
