We Survived!

Yes! We survived (or should I say I survived?!) 10 days by myself (with some assistance from great family!) while David was in South Africa hunting! It was daunting to say the least and I didn't let on that I was quite nervous for two reasons...1) My husband going to a foreign country hunting big game and 2) How would I survive working and taking care of two babies by myself??! Thank goodness my sister Julie (Aunt JuJu) has been staying with us the past few weeks because she was a GREAT help! (And also GiGi and MiMi and of course our wonderful nanny Carolyn!)

So what did we do while Daddy was gone? We crawled on top of each other and used each other as a prop to pull up on...



We watched our crazy cousins be silly...





And were cute as always!



Well almost always...



We were so glad when David returned...not sure who was happier me or the babies (probably me!) And he brought friends with him when he returned (well they will be here in a year or two)...5 friends to be exact. I can't remember all 5, but I know a Kudu and Impala will be hanging somewhere in our house (his room of course!). He had a great time and I'm so glad he got to go with his dad. We're just glad to have him home safe and sound. Maybe in my next post, I'll have some pics to show!

We have reached another milestone...we had to lower Campbell's bed tonight. Avery's will probably be lowered this weekend. Sunday morning when David returned, we discovered that Campbell had figured out how to use the bumper pad to pull up on his knees in his bed and bang his hands on the bed...NOT good! Of course I had to take a pic!



We are reaching so many milestones and I'm so happy to see them thriving, but at the same time, it's a little sad to watch my babies grow up! We're almost 9 months old and I know 1 year is just around the corner! We are just trying to enjoy each day with them! I love watching them discover new things and it is so much fun to watch them interact with each other. Of course it is not always in the best way (using each other as a prop to pull up, taking toys from each other), but they are so much fun right now and I can tell they are going to take care of each other as they get older. Avery is our drama queen and Campbell is our busy-body...what a combo! Looking back, that's how they were in the womb! Campbell was always kicking and turning (on the sonograms and all day long) and Avery was the one that put me in labor!

As tired as we are at the end of each day, we wouldn't trade the craziness for anything!
