Dear Kiss and Cookie

The second year of your lives has come and gone...and it was an incredible experience for everyone.

As a Mother I truly began to experience "parenting" this past year. Year One was spent in a joyous utopia of newness whereas Year Two brought tantrums and "No Ways" and sleep deprivation known only to other mothers and POWs! This year had amazing highs and also some lows (I never dreamed that dealing with anger would be part of parenting - but it really makes me MAD when you push all my buttons at once!!) and mostly it came with tremendous growth. The kind that for the two of you was obvious (physical, cognitive, social..) as well as the more subtle personal growth for me as a woman, a caregiver and simply as a person. It was perhaps the best year of my life. I wonder if I will say that each year on the 13th of March? I suspect that I always will.

Know today and everyday that I cherish you and that every decision I make is with the two of you in mind. I love you more than there will ever be words to express and my Birthday wish for each of you is that the certainty of my love is a cornerstone in your lives.

On your Birthday I would like to take a moment to say my thanks.

Thank you to the Universe for Your Divine gift, thank you to Cookie and Kiss for your love, trust, kisses and joy, thank you to my Husband for his support and his unquestioned devotion to his children, and a great big thank you to my very amazing friends and family. The last two years have been incredible and I am blessed beyond words to share these amazing children with the world.

Happy Birthday Kiss and Cookie.

Love,

Mommy

Locked In!!

Mommy! Let us out!!!
So Miss Kiss has learned how to open doors and the other day after I got home she came behind me and opened the front door...
Out ran the dogs! What? Oh no!!! So out we all go to capture them. I open the car to get Bratwurst to jump in( he loves the car), then Kiss wants to get in a pretend to drive. No problem. But then comes a speeding car down the road - straight at Pixie! Oh no! I put Cookie and my keys (stupid) in the car, shut the door so Brat doesn't get out and go rescue Pixie. Whew!! An adventure for sure!! But wait!



I get back to let the kids out of the car and they are Locked In!!



And yes- those are rain drops on the window. It starts raining - HARD.



Fortunatly for us Papa Bear was able to speed home to the rescue! No one was worse for the wear and we all had a grand adventure.

SN becomes a Mommy!

Super Nanny 1.0 became the very proud Mommy of a beautiful baby girl on January 26th. She and the baby ( who has a beautiful name that papa bear says I can't post!) are doing well after a long and complicated delivery.

Welcome to the world Baby A!
She was 7lbs, 8oz and 21 inches long. She is the joy and delight of her very proud parents and is simply gorgeous.







Baby A is spending a few days in the NICU due to her arduous journey into the world, but I was able to sneak in and get a quick snuggle at feeding time! Mommy and daughter both looked great and are expected to be released in a day or so.
Welcome to Mommyhood SN!
Hugs and kisses!
Papa bear, Mama fox, Kiss & Cookie ( plus Bratwurst, Pixie, and the cats!)

First salon haircut

Today we had our very first Salon experience! Kiss really enjoyed getting her hair combed!


She looks so pretty with her curls and new cut!!
Cookie was feeling a little sniffly this morning and needed some extra mommy snuggled to get into the mood.... But check out this handsome big boy!!


A special thanks to Miss B for her baby wrangling skills and to my fabulous stylist ( mother of twins herself) for doing a terrific job!
