Family update

The babies turned 9 months old this month. They went for their 9 month check up on Wednesday.
Harper weighs 17 pounds. Kennedy weighs 16 lbs. Kerry and Tillie both around 15.5. They are all healthy except that they have colds right now and Kerry came home with a breathing machine. She is rattling and has been for awhile. She sits on my lap 4 x a day to get her breathing treatment and such a trooper. She just sits there ... so cute. They all 4 got their last shot until kindergarten. Bradley went with us to the appointment and helped hold babies between check ups. He carried babies to the scale, and helped as much as the adults in the room. TROOPER. After the appointment we went to El Rodeo to have lunch with the babies and with Teri and Ron. When we left the restaraunt the babies had the floor covered with rice so much that you couldn't see the floor. I left an extra $5.oo for the waitress. Mandy and I have tried really hard not to keep the kids from going places just because it is soooooo much work. And believe me it is work. The last time we went out to eat, we went to the chinese buffet. If you are on our facebook you probably saw pictures of the event. The waitress tried to feed the babies and give them sprite. Mandy use to laugh at me when I would get mad at stuff like that, and this time, momma wolf got mad. I was the one laughing. How times have changed. Is that age? Is it that Mandy carried them? My mom says that it is because I am home with them all day and at night I let myself not care so much.... well what ever the reason, It is nice not to worry like I did with Amanda and Bradley. Shew...feels good. Some nights I don't even hear the babies crying to get up. Hmmm, maybe I am choosing not to hear? I'll never tell.
I did not get my miracle ear for Christmas so that may be the reason.
Amanda and Bradley just brought home their report cards again. They continue to excell at their studies. Bright kids....must get it from their mother.
If anyone just wondered who their mother is.....duh, they have 2....
We went sledding tonight with the big kids. We stood on the hill with them in 13 degree weather. When they got in the car they both cried because their fingers hurt. Fun stinks sometimes.
In February my full time help will be gone for a month. Teri and Ron come over every day to help me with the babies. I don't know if there is anything I could ever do to thank them enough. They love the babies, but if you ask me, they must love me to come and spend every day with me and help unconditionally. I have a great relationship with Mandy's parents. Teri and I work so well together. I know what she likes to do... laundry, dishes, sing to babies. She knows what I like to do. Poopy diapers, cook lunch and dinner, grocery shop. We don't usually get in each others way. It works ... WELL. So, if you want to come and hang with me in February hit me up. Im on Facebook, amy paul. You will have to send me a note with the friend invite so I know who you are.
I post most of my pictures on fb too.
