Back in Business......

Well......My keyboard finally went ka-poot.....I never really realized how much I used my computer until I couldn't type anything but the secondary blue keys, which are mostly numbers.......FRUSTRATING......anyway I ended up ordering a new (well refurbished) keyboard from Dell. Talk about cheap and super easy to pop in and out and got here super fast....I ordered at 7pm Tuesday night and it was here by 3pm yesterday......Anyway it is good to be back in front of my computer.....and working again....I got all caught up last night and it felt good to put a a long night at work......which was ok, since Shawn had to go back to the office at 8pm last night, he had gotten his computer fixed and now the VPN is all messed up so he couldn't work from home.....it was a late night for both of us......

Lets see what is new for us.......well not much. I think the twins are giving up their nap....They probably only take an afternoon nap a few times a week.....it's all good. They still go up to their toddler beds (yes, we finally turned their cribs into beds a while ago, lets just say they love it!!) and lay down and read books.....but they get up probably 4-5 times to use the bathroom.....Sometimes they actually sleep......my only stipulation is that they are quite, as I do not want them to wake up Lila (who is the lightest sleeper in the house)......They are doing well with this new independence. Bed time is amazingly easy too.....Shawn and I were both fretting turning their cribs into beds as we thought they would be the type of kids that run around and not lay down in bed.....I suppose we should have given our girls a bit more credit. They are actually really good at going to bed, granted we can always count on both of them getting up right after being put to bed to use the bathroom (no matter if they just went or not)......But we let them do it all by themselves and they are great at putting themselves back to bed. So now we just need to budget those big girl beds.....We are so proud of the them. I can not wait to paint and decorate their room.....Oh, its going to be a bit on the fun, wild side.......I have already started picking colors.....so fun.....bold and bright!

Lila is doing well.....she takes steps all the time.....I am still of the notion that she knows how to walk but just doesn't want to.....oh well.....Kiara and Mikiah hold her hand and walk around with her all the time.....she will do it when she wants......and I am not worried....she has become our crabby baby in the mornings....she is not a morning person....

We are in for another hot week down here, Mid-90's all week.....Suppose we will be doing lots of swimming in the kiddie pool.....all the girls are battling a little cold they all started with runny noses yesterday and now they are complaining of sore throats.....Hope Dad and Ri do not have little colds too......

Right now I am just stoked about Sex in the City, Shawn and I are going tomorrow night after the kiddos go to bed (Thanks in advance for sitting Uncle Joel)......I can not wait to see this movie.....Sex in the City, one of my guilty pleasures.....I could watch the all the episodes over and over.....Just LOVE it......
