Wow. Two months since the last post? Oops! Busy? I guess that's one good reason! Things over here are going very well. The kids are all growing like weeds! I'll update them individually in a moment. In the beginning of December, I had a surprise 30th birthday party for Tony. About 30 people came, and I was able to pull the whole thing off! I was quite impressed myself! And of course, you can't have a surprise party without something going wrong... Well Tony had a horrible toothache and needed to get his wisdom tooth pulled. He scheduled the appointment for the DAY BEFORE the party. Seriously?!?! Luckily, he was in so much pain, I was able to convince him to go the Monday before the party-and they pulled it. Talk about dodging a bullet! He had a great time at his party, and I think he was happy about it. Then on his actual birthday, we went to the casino where we had a beautiful suite thanks to his uncle! It was awesome!
We all had a great Christmas. We didn't travel-everyone came to us. It was a lot of work, but it was relatively laid back and relaxing. I enjoyed it, as did Tony. We had two wonderful meals, and the boys were THOROUGHLY excited with Santa! We hyped him up so much! Ha! It really was wonderful, and Christmas has a whole new meaning when you have kids. I loved every minute of it. It was magical. Truly magical-and you could see it in their eyes! We got the boys the 50's Diner. It's been a HUGE hit! They love(especially Anthony) to go to the Diner once someone arrives and make coffee. It's too cute. He's my little chef, that's for sure!
We had a quiet New Year's. We actually went over a friend's house. They have a daughter a few months older than the boys. We just sat around, ate, and chatted, and then went on home. Nothing too exciting and just what we like! Shortly after New Year's, Tony and I "celebrated" 13 years of being together! Isnt' that crazy?!!? To think we've been together for almost half of our life! I can only hope my children can be in a loving, lasting relationship as I have been these last 13 years. And what an amazing 13 years it's been!
January marked the start of tax season, and I just dread the rest of winter. Tony works late Tu/Th and works on Saturdays. Fun times. I love my kids, but it's nice to have a little break here and there. Well now we are in February, so things are moving along, right? LOL! In the midst of tax season, we did book our FIRST family vacation! I can't wait! We are going to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania. We are taking my sister, as well as his, as we will need all the help! We got a pretty good deal I believe and will be staying for four days/three nights. We will be driving there, so that will be interesting to say the least! It's a five hour drive. My kids have never been in the car that long, nor have they really slept anywhere else besides their cribs-which they are still in! Eek!
Other than that, on the homefront, there is nothing new to report! Annabella is EIGHT months old already! Where in the world did that time go?!?! I feel like I was just pregnant with her! It's amazing to see how fast they grow up. Well, I'm off for now, as the laptop battery is low. I will post updates, separately, on each child. This will be fun! Hopefully, I do it tomorrow, and not months from now! I need to be documenting their growth!

Wow! They've gotten so big. And totally adorable, all three of them. So sweet!
Hey, I saw that one of your little guys has glasses. We just found out that little Elanor has to get them. Is it hard to help him keep them on? Or away from his twin?
I'm just really apprehensive about a two year old with glasses, especially with another nosy little two year old around. :-)
Hey! They have gotten so big! She's probably over 17 lbs(if not more) and Anthony is around 27lbs and Nicholas 30lbs-he's also 3 inches taller!
As for glasses... The first week was AWFUL! I say week-because that's how long it lasted before they broke. I literally had to follow the kid around(Nicholas), otherwise he was taking them off. I went and made breakfast one morning-and he had no glasses when he came to the table. I went and found them and still have no idea how he did what he did to them! :)
We got a new pair a few weeks later. I immediately went to a store to get a strap for the back of his head-like a sports strap. Since then-he leaves them on. No issues really. The back of the strap kinda holds the glasses up high enough on his nose, and provides a little security on the back of his head.
As for his twin-never really went near them. We did go to the dollar store or wherever, and get glasses for us to wear. We just popped out the glasses. Anthony would wear his "glasses" for a bit as well. Then thankfully-that stopped! LOL! Nicholas has to wear a patch everyday for two hours/day. That was tough and for two weeks, we let it slide. Then one day, I thought, "Hey-why doesn't Curious George wear a patch too!" Since then-golden.
It's all about thinking on your toes! It's tough! It's an adjustment period, but I'm sure things will be fine. Have Elanor maybe help pick out the frames/carrying case. Hype it up! They have grandparents who wear glasses as well, so that has kinda helped. And Anthony goes back in March to be rechecked for glasses. He was borderline. I'm thinking he will need them as well...
Feel free to ask questions! And good luck!
Thanks, Meaghan, that was really helpful. We'll definitely get the sports straps right away.
Still waiting for them to get finished, but we found a really sturdy, purple pair for her. And we keep hyping the fact that they're like daddy's glasses, and grandpa's glasses, and so forth.
:-)
