Just a quick couple of pictures for some updates on the girls. Darcy is growing like a weed. (Pun intended! ) Sephora is in the 90% for weight. It seems that both our girls are little chunks when they are babies. Sephora is already over 10 pounds at 1 month. She is doing better on sleeping as well. 4 hours straight. Not bad at all. Also, I've been gutting the master bath as well, of course in the middle of tax season. Gotta keep things interesting right?! The tile guy will be here sometime this coming week to tile the shower. I've got to redo the drywall, tile the floor, texture, paint and install all the stuff that goes in there. We are already $2K over budget, but that is to be expected. But I think it will be done in the next month. Then on to the summer projects like painting the outside of the house, filling in the pool, and re-doing the half bath and laundry room.

Quick Update

Just wanted to post a quick update here. Baby and Mother are doing great. Sephora has a little bit of a cold, so she isn't sleeping very well as she is all stuffed up. We gave Sephora her first bath the other day. She managed to stay calm, unlike her big sister who still hates to take a bath. Sleep deprivation has caused us to often forget what day it is. I only remember because I show up to the office and check the calendar to remind me. We went to Waller Park yesterday to feed the ducks. We took a huge bag of old rolls, left over from my Mom's 50th b-day party. Darcy loves to throw the bread to the ducks. Darcy loves her baby sister "Baby Fora." Darcy and I went to church alone today and as we were leaving the building, Darcy told me she wanted to go home and see Mommy and Baby Fora and give them kisses. Well, as for me I am knee-deep in tax returns. We are actually cruising along nicely. That is not to say we aren't insanely busy with taxes and financial planning, but at least I haven't been up til 2AM doing taxes, yet. We are already making plans for what we want to do after this busy time is over. My plans are: master bath re-model, paint the exterior of the house, fill in the pool, do some minor landscaping. That should keep my busy through the summer. Then this fall before it gets cold I want to re-do the duct work in the attic for our heating system. It heats up the bedrooms far more than the rest of the house so I'm going to reduce the size of duct work going to the bedrooms and send more heat to the common areas, kitchen and living rooms. Well, the update turned out to be much bigger than expected. Now to posting a few pictures.

Sephora's 2-week update

Late last night Sephora officially became 2 weeks old. She is doing very good. She grows everyday. Darcy is doing great with her as well. She loves to help with diaper changes and of course loves to give Sephora lots of hugs and kisses. Everyone is healthy, happy, and very tired. Here are a couple of photos. I'll be taking a bunch more this afternoon so I'll post those later!
