Time passing too quickly

It never ceases to amaze me how fast time can go by when I remember to check my blog and realize that all of sudden it's been 5 months since my last post.  I mean I understand that having 2 little ones and 2 jobs would keep a person busy, but it seems like I should be able to find a few moments here and there to post on here.  Thankfully most everyone who knows me is on Facebook and can see what's happening with us on there....I'm fairly religious with posting on that.  Especially my daily thankfuls (although not always so "daily") and my "Funny kid quotes"...honestly the stuff coming out of Kelsey lately literally cracks me up.  And Avery is just now starting to talk at almost 18 months.  She's said Daddy forever...of course.  Still not saying Mommy clearly, but I know it will happen.  She tries to say Kelsey...she says All done and has just started the every feared "NO!!"....funny as anything at first...but we know it's going to get old quick!!

To sum up the last 5 months it's been crazy and fun and exhausting and hilarious!!  The girls keep us laughing daily...they are really playing together now which just warms my heart.  Sadly Avery has been sick fairly consistently...gotta love daycare!!  She is just now getting over a 5 day fever/virus that also resulted in sinus infection and double ear infection....the last of many!!  She is scheduled to get her tubes in next Tuesday.  Praying that she has as much success from them as Kelsey did.  Once Kelsey got her tubes she wasn't sick again for over a year.  Avery is an absolute pistol!!!  She is full on energy all the time.  She's growing like a weed...although her hair hasn't gotten the message.  She's still fairly bald...but cute as a button.

Kelsey is growing in leaps and bounds.  She started dance class and has her first recital in May....she is just the cutest thing in her little leotard...and thankfully she has a few class mates from her daycare in her dance class.  The Four Musketeers!!!  Kelsey had to have her tonsils and adenoids out in January due to sleep apnea and kissing tonsils.  It was a hard week of recovery but she no longer snores like a trucker!!  Her voice changed a little, which is so cute!!!

Here are a few pictures from the last 5 months (they're not in exact order):

We took the girls to Terhune Orchards in October to see the animals
