Monsters in my house?

Well, we actually had a pretty quiet week (quiet as in not much going on, not noise quiet!), the babies are just getting settled in again only to have their schedule all messed up again when we go back to Rexburg next weekend. My aunt is going through the Idaho Falls Temple on Saturday to be sealed to her husband and triplets and I am so proud of her! I know she is very nervous but I am so glad they finally decided to take this step, I know my grandpa was happy to know that he will be able to have them with him again someday. Anthony, Emily, and I will be staying in Rexburg for the week since we have a couple of reunions the next weekend and it has been forever since I have been to one. I think I have created a big monster in my house with the kids and hope someday to be able to fix it...we have kind of gotten into the habit of laying down together when they take their afternoon naps (Emily more than Anthony) and now it seems that they (she) wants to sleep like that all the time. On Sunday Ben and I decided that it was a good day for a nap so I layed down with Emily on the bed and Ben and Anthony laid on the couch. Emily went right to sleep but Anthony kept crying so I told Ben to trade me and I would lay with Anthony. I got Anthony to sleep and it wasn't much later that Emily started crying again. I got up to get her and of course Anthony woke back up. I love knowing that they are comforted by my presence and that I make them feel safe but I know that I have made a huge mistake in ever starting this. It is so hard not to do it because they really don't sleep well during the day and if I want a nap it has to be laying with them. I do love waking up and having them look me in the eye with such love and adoration though, it makes sleepless nights and days worth it. Okay, you can judge me now, so many things I said I would never do I find myself doing because it makes life easier. Any of you I may have given a hard time to about certain things...I am soooo sorry, they always say you know it all until you have your own kids! I do love them even when they are causing me to pull my hair out. Emmy has started a new thing where if she doesn't get what she wants right away she squeals at the top of her lungs and she has a very high pitch squeal. The poor cat about goes ballistic when she does it, it hurts me enough, I can't imagine her poor ears. Well, that is about all that is happening with us, hope all is well out there with everyone else!

The start of a beautiful friendship!!!!

Your babies are so beautiful! I miss them, but I'm excited to get to see them soon! That is great about your aunt and her family. The reunions will be fun for you. You probably won't get to have to hold them much. You'll have tons of help!
