Outfits I made The Girls

These outfits I made for the girls, the letters were iron on and I put the ribbon on and the bow attached with hot glue.. then I made the headbands with the bows as well.

My Dad thinks I'm crazy!

Hey dad! Ya reading this? well, I know you think I"m crazy because I share too much personal information (breastfeeding post)... aren't you used to that after being married to Mommy foro 45 years? Well, I am her daughter... keyword... daughter, so get used to it. Sometimes I think you forget I'm a girl... and I am silly. I know you don't like me cause I say what I think, read trashy magazines instead of reading books or the paper, watch 90210 & watch Entertainment news instead of world news, Like Michael Jackson, don't have my fridge door open on the right side, have a light that hangs too low that you bump your head on, don't use or own an ironing board except the one you bought me, and occasionally let the batteries go out of the clocks around my house and oh, my personal favorite... keep stacks of bills sitting around my kitchen instead of filed :) BUT, I am your daughter and lets face it your favorite child... and you love me anyways. And I love you, I think you are the best Dad in the whole world and I married a man that I thought could come close to you and he does, but I still think you are the best, so anything you say I usually listen to. So, in turn I will not post weird posts on my blog about breastfeeding if you say so you silly old man!

I love you,
Laura

Enjoy the pictures!

I did it for 10 months... why do I feel guilty?

Every breastfeeding mom might know what I am thinking. I have breast fed 2 babies at the same time for 10 months now. They have just recently started to wean themselves and it is coming to an end, but I am feeling guilty for stopping, like people will be disappointed in me or something. Daniel has never made me feel that way and I know I have done a good job, I just feel like when I stop I will be letting people down, or their expectations of me or something. Maybe because it was that I was so proud that I was STILL breastfeeding after this long and stopping before 1 year would fall short of my initial goal? I don't know why I feel this guilt, but am I crazy?

Girls in Tutus!

So my roomie from College Lindsey DeYoung who is an amazing photographer in Grand Rapids, Michigan took pictures of the girls for me when I was home. She is one of those friends who you always can talk to and laugh with no matter what time goes by. She did an amazing job at capturing the girls and their spirit. My friend Amy, also who I lived with in college made the tutus the girls are wearing. They are SugarBean Tutus and if you are intersted Let me know and I will get you the information. Sooo, take a look at my cuties and if you are in the Grand Rapids area, or even if you aren't, check out Lindsey DeYoung Photography. or deyoungphotography.com for more information!

Grandparents are the best!

The girls got to be we their Grandma and Pappa. My parents really made them smile and the girls loved to be with them! Everytime my daddy would do anything to the girls they would smile. My mom was such a help, she changed all the diapers and helped feed a few times and was on the floor playing with the girls lots! More pictures will be to follow1
