Where have you been?

The reason my blog has been quiet this past week is because I have been in Atlanta playing pilot! The annual Women in Aviation Conference was in Atlanta and I organized the event for American Airlines. Naturally, I had to attend, and it was a nice time, but not nearly as much fun as it used to be. First of all, it was hell getting back into my uniform after being pregnant with twins! Yikes! More than that, leaving my children is like leaving my heart and soul behind,and as much as I enjoyed the 3 uninterrupted nights in a hotel room with no crying or potty-ing, I am glad to be back to them. Children really help you define what is truly important in your life. (For those of you who don't know me, I am the one on the far left in the group photo above.)

The Elusive Three

The ever elusive photo that is good of all three children....UGH. It is so terribly difficult to get! After 50 frames and a gallery of neighbors cheering me on, this is what I came up with!

Elsie saying "Tess, get your fingers out of your mouth!" Wonder where she heard that?!?!

Elsie saying, "No Tripp, look this way!" A loud motorcycle went by and everyone followed it!

GOT IT! They are so freakin cute!

Special Quilts

These quilts are very special. They were lovingly made by Tess and Tripp's Paternal Grandmother to custom match their (unisex) nursery. They are positively adorable and are stiched together not with thread, but with love. Thank you Grandma!

Great Great Mary

This is my very special Great Aunt Mary. I have been trying to coordinate a visit with her since the babies were born....I do not get to see her enough. Anyway, we finally did it today and it was wonderful! The babies took to her immediately, even Tess who normally is not a fan of new people, and of course, Tripp didn't stop smiling all afternoon. I told Elsie that she was going to have lunch with her Great Great Aunt Mary today, but I guess that was too many words for her to remember, so she kept calling her Great Great Mary! She may be on to something, cause she sure is GREAT!
