A Frigid Friday, Fall is Definitely Here

Bodhi and Jude, your morning was spent with little Lizzie, Mr. Andrew, and Aunt Ti.  It was cold and rainy out yet again.  Mommy and Daddy love this fall weather, minus all the rain!  Bo, you actually woke up first this morning.  Mommy had to get you both ready by myself and Bodhi, you were super easy without your brother hanging off of me :)  We got you dressed and ready to go, you then sat and drank your juice while Mommy packed the car and fetched your bro.  Buddha, you woke up at at about 4am yet again wanting nursed.  It took Mommy an hour to get you back to sleep (without nursing you!)  You then had to be woke up and dressed at about 7:15am.  You are much easier when you are still have asleep hee/hee.  So, though Mommy was on her own, you two were really easy this morning. 

This afternoon when Mommy picked you up, Mommy and Aunt Ti packed you in the car and within minutes you both were passed out.  Mommy caught a car next to her laughing at you two.  Bodhi, you had your cow hat on, and your mouth was half open with your paci sticking out.  Buddha, you had your doggy hat on and were also passed out with your mouth hanging open... you both get that from Mommy I'm afraid :) 

Neither one of you have been napping very well.  Juders, you wake up and start screaming about an hour and half into your nap.  Bo, you've been taking forever to get to sleep, but then you want to sleep the rest of the night and are super cranky when Momma wakes you up.

This evening Mommy had to go back to work once Daddy got home from work.  So, Mommy made everyone dinner a head of time, and I managed to get you fed before I left Buddha.  Bodhi, you were awakened and no one could peel you away from your Da Da.  Mommy went to work and you two spent the rest of the evening with Daddy :)  Grandmoo came back over right as Mommy was arriving home from work.  She was loading you both in the wagon to take the trash out back.  Bodhi, as soon as you saw Momma, you kept saying "Mommm!"  You cuddled Momma the rest of the evening, well until Daddy got Jude to sleep :)  Mommy wanted to nurse you so bad Juders... Mommy was feeling quite uncomfortable with the cutting back, I am filled to the brim.  Mommy managed to resist the temptation to relieve my pain, and Daddy volunteered to put you to bed Buddha.  Mommy can't ever get you to sleep anymore, you just scream uncontrollably, it's quite sad.  It also breaks Mommy's heart that we're past that stage.  Of course, I'll be glad to not be a milk cow, but I did enjoy our bonding time together.  Sweet dreams baby butts, Bo, it's 9:45pm and you are still awake with Daddy on the couch watching cartoons. 



Pretty morning Bodhi at Aunt Ti's  :)  Mooo!



Precious Babes :)



Little Gangsta Lizzie ;)

Buddha loves the Aunt Ti :)

Bodhi, you are also CRAZY about Aunt Ti :)

"Sleepy Buddha" ;)

Precious Baby Boy!

Bodhi, all that stop and go traffic tipped you over!  You looked so sweet passed out in the back seat :)

"Argggggh!"

Buddha, taking after his sister!  Mommy's little artist in the making :)

Buddha, you opted to stay outside with your BFF, Grandmoo, while your sister came inside to cuddle with the Mommy monster ;)-

"Boo!"

Buddha, you love to play with Grandmoo! 

Just One of Those Days...

Wow!  What a day, what a day!  Today was one of those days where everything seemed a little off!  Mommy knew right away when she woke up with a splitting headache from battling you Jude half the night, today was going to be an off day.  We started our day just like any other Thursday,  Mommy and Daddy hurriedly got you two ready and packed in the car to head to Aunt Ti's house while we went to work.  Mommy had a young family contact me about our house, and they wanted to see it tonight.... so, right after a meeting and a home visit, Mommy rushed home to pack boxes of book, toys, and excess junk from Daddy's office in preparation.  Daddy had pulled his truck around front before leaving for work (we kept Daddy's truck for such emergencies) and Mommy packed and loaded boxes.  Our rooms and Daddy's office looks much less cluttered and crowded :)  However, the young couple couldn't get financed so the showing fell through :(  Mommy was running late to pick you both up from doing all that packing, Mommy had a 1:30 dentist appointment and I had to get you both down for naps so Grandmoo could come over and sit while I was at my appointment, otherwise you wouldn't have napped.  Mommy had scheduled six months ago to get a filling replaced because it was so old... well, it turned out I had a cavity underneath it.   The dentist told me we didn't have to replace it this visit, but Mommy decided to have it done, and it's a good thing since there was a cavity hiding.  When Mommy returned home,  Grandmoo informed me that you woke right up and hadn't napped, ugggh!  Daddy also called, apparently I told him the wrong time for his hair appointment, so Mommy had to text her friend Lacey and get Daddy squared away for his hair cut.  

Daddy volunteered for two extra jobs tonight, lecturing to batterers, a job he loaths.  However, I think he got the better deal, because you two were no picnics without your naps.  Grandmoo stayed for a while to visit you two.  Jude you pulled down a hug potted plant, dirt went everywhere!  Mommy was cleaning it up, and Grandmoo went to grab you from getting into the mess and she knocked over and broke Mommy's favorite lamp.  Mommy and Daddy drove to two different stores out of town to get those lamps hee/hee, oh well.  I think in the new house we'd only use one in between two couches, so it's really no big deal... other than our living room now looks off. 

Prior to you two going to bed, Mommy decided to sweep up the stairs and upstairs, Jude, you decided this was unacceptable and cried, no screamed, the entire time.  Bodhi, you fell asleep in the rocker glider... the sound of your brother screaming and the loud vacuum apparently was relaxing to you.  Jude, you would not quit screaming even after Mommy got done sweeping, so, Mommy had to nurse you uggggh!  Come on Buddha, lets cut this boob business out!  Mommy might just have to start sleeping on the couch until you are broke, Daddy can sleep through your screams.  Despite our "off" day, we still managed to have some good times together :)  Mommy and Daddy love you both to pieces.  Sweet dreams. 

PS Mommy's camera battery died, of course, so I didn't get but a few pictures. 

"Fussy Buddha" :0

Bodhi reading a book :)  Such a smart little cookie!

Little terrorist getting into things he shouldn't, nothing new! :0

Look at those demon eyes, very fitting for today... Mommy decided not to correct them because they are correct as they appear hee/hee

Bodhi, kissing, sniffing, feeling her book???  That's your Daddy coming out in you... he has a major "thing" for books too :)-

Tired Bodhi butt :/

Daddy Day At Home

This morning Daddy made you both oatmeal for breakfast.  Juders, you weren't happy when you got done eating, so Daddy had to make you some more, little piggy!  Daddy played with you two upstairs and then you ended the morning watching cartoons.  Mommy and Grandmoo had to take Mr. Murff to the vet in Carmel.  No new information to report, we have to some how trick Mr. Murff into peeing in a cup and take it in next week (after he has recovered from the stress of the doctor's office visit today).   The doctor is going to test for Cushings disease. 

This afternoon, Daddy took an extra long nap while you two napped, you two must have really wore Daddy out!  This evening Mommy tried to sneak in a nap, Daddy fed you, Jude, dinner, Mommy wasn't so successful :(  Bo, Mommy had to wake you, Bodhi,  up at 6pm, good gravy!  You took a 5 1/2 hour nap! You were happy until Mommy had to take you away from Sister Kelly to change your diaper, then you threw an absolute fit.  Sister Kelly and Governor came by to pick up Jude's old bassinet, and to visit you two.  Sean Franky also came over and played with you both.  You both had a blast rough housing and playing with Franky on your "sit-n-spin" :)  Mommy and Daddy packed you both up to drive by our house :)  we were super stalking as a family tonight hee/hee and then we had dinner.  Today, was rainy and nasty so unfortunately you didn't get a Daddy wagon adventure, hopefully the weather will clear up soon and we'll get back out as a family.

PS Daddy dressed you both today, and Grandmoo dressed you both yesterday... so, it appears you've been wearing the same clothes over and over for the past week lol, they don't keep track like Momma!  They just pull clean clothes out of your closet.  Oh and Juders, Daddy doesn't know when or how you got that horrible bruise on your forehead, it's just another in your ever growing collection :(

Hold on!

"Look Momma, we're spinning!"

You two got the biggest laugh out of one another :)

"That toy rocks Momma!"

"Tickled Buddha" :)

Bubba and his three lonely bottom teeth :)

Brothers from different mothers, just chillin' out in their hats just as Bodhi demanded hee/hee  Bo, you love to dress everyone up in hats :)

Franky and Bodhi Girl :)

And the excitment begins...



"Sis, save me!  Don't let Sean Franky get my getties!" 



Awwww love the sister while you are at it!

Let's go around in circles!

Bodhi, this spin you were saying "Mooooo!"  hee/hee :)

"Hat switch, ok lets do it again!"

Accident waiting to happen...

"Momma, that was a rush!"

Little Rays of Sunshine on A Gloomy Day

This morning you both woke up to see Grandmoo's smiling face :)  Oh, how I bet you two were super excited to spend the morning with Grandmoo!  She keeps you both on your toes :)  When Mommy arrived home, you two of course, had spent most of the morning outdoors playing.  You both were happy little pups!  Mommy was excited to see you two so excited to see your Momma too :)  Mommy got you both down for your naps, Jude, no nursing at nap time today :)  Bodhi, you fell right asleep.  Mommy did some work and then joined the two of you for an hour nap.  Today is the second day in a row Mommy has taken a nap, had an alarming dream, and woke up "freaked" out about you two.  So much so, Mommy woke you both up.

The rest of the evening was spent playing indoors.  It was rainy and gloomy outside, so we had another evening making due inside.  You both were in great moods, and you both were super excited when Mommy brought in a "sit-n-spin," toy I bought from a lady on the Facebook garage sale site.   You two then fought over who going to spin.  There were a few hits, bumps, and cries, but eventually you two worked it out.  Today is Daddy's late night, he gets home at 8pm, so you both had very little time with him :(  Tomorrow, you will be with Daddy all day long.  Mommy and Grandmoo are taking Mr. Murff to the vet, again, and then Mommy is going to work.  Mommy hopes you all have a special day together tomorrow, and Mommy hopes to hear a positive prognosis for Mr. Murff!  Sweet dreams my little rays of sunshine. 



"Peek-a-boo Momma!"

"I love that Bubba and I can play together!"

"Mommm Mommm, Bodhi's under here---->"

"I'm not here, my eyes are shut... you can't see me!" :)



"Hungry Buddha" :)
Buddha, you are in the dangerous habit of climbing the stove to see what's cooking!  Good thing Momma didn't have anything within your ever growing reach!



This is Momma's view of you, Buddha, most of the day :)-

And a wrestling match is getting ready to begin...

"Booby please!"

Our Little Big People

Well, this morning came way too soon as usual :)  Mommy was up until 2am cleaning and organizing last night, the Realtor and Speech Therapists, Ms. Connie, and Ms. Heather were due over first thing this morning, so Mommy had to get the house in order.  Daddy got up with you Jude and fed you breakfast so that Mommy could get an extra few minutes of sleep before starting the day :)  Then we were all off to the races.  Bodhi, Ms. Connie and Ms. Heather were so excited about your progress.  Ms. Connie cancelled last week because her little girl was sick, so it had been a couple of weeks since she and Ms. Heather last saw you.  They were clapping, cheering, and praising you the whole session.  You attempted to say several new words, and they were quite impressed that you are putting multiple words together :)  By the end of the session, and any other session, you were ready for it to be over hee/hee you are always ready for them to go about the last 15 minutes!  Today, however, you kept talking to Mommy, you were fully stimulated and continuing to try and talk YAY!  Jude man, you repeat words in passing during Bodhi's sessions.  It's hilarious, they'll ask Bodhi several different times and several different ways to say a word, and you decide if Bodhi's not going to say it, you'll say it for her hee/hee  You are so smart too,  Buddha :) 

After our speech therapy session, GiGi called to see what we were all doing.  She asked if she could come over for a couple of hours and take you outside to play.... and give Momma the opportunity to get things done.  So you two spent the remainder of the morning playing outside.  Mommy got a ton of work done, I could hardly keep my eyes open but I kept on.  Bodhi, you now ride your tricycle all by yourself, such a big girl!!!  Jude man, you still prefer that GiGi push you on yours, your tricycle doesn't have pedals hee/hee :) 

This evening Mommy put some soup beans with ham on the stove for dinner and Grandmoo came over to allow Mommy to get a power nap in, which turned into a two hour nap because she didn't wake me up :)  Oh, how nice it was!  However, Bodhi, you slept for four and half hours today.  When Mommy woke up in a panic, I had a frightening dream about you, you were still asleep.  Mommy quickly woke you and we went looking for Buddha and Grandmoo.  They were outside playing with the pups and all was good.  Mommy fed you both dinner, bathed you, and Daddy put you down for bed after your guys' nightly cuddle session.  Mommy went back to work for an hour and is now settling in and hoping to get thank you cards filled out from your birthday party, Buddha. 

Mommy needs to make you both a well child check-up appointment, you both are past due

 :(  Tomorrow you both will be staying home with Grandmoo instead of going to Aunt Ti's.  Mommy will be thinking about Aunt Ti and her family, she had a death in the family and the viewing/funeral is tomorrow :(  We love you Aunt Ti, and we'll miss seeing you, but we will be sending our love!

The Babes with their GiGi :)

Mommy's little distracted driver... just like your Momma :)

Don't you worry, Mommy has hit a few walls in her days :)

Go Bodhi and Buddha, Go!



"Wait for me Sis!"  "Hu hu, Hi Mommmma!"



"Look GiGi, she's getting away, I'll just get off and walk now!"

"They'll never catch me!" :)-

"I'm a BiG GiRl Momma!"

"GiGi, I think I"m too big for this ride!" 

Some fun outside time with GiGi :)
