Crazy days (and sleepless nights!)

You know that you are super tired when you and your husband spend five minutes in the morning trying to figure out which one of you got up with your two and a half year old daughter in the middle of the night. Sad to say, but on this morning neither one of us could recall which person actually went in and checked on her when she awoke for the fifth time in the middle of the night, again. Of course, the main reason for this forgetfulness is that we have a two week old daughter as well, and so due to the multiple feedings and such, we are tired, tired, tired parents. However, I have to say that our newborn, Stella, is quite a wonderful little baby so far. And it is a good thing....since our oldest, Gracie, is quite the little firecracker.
Life has been chaotic since we started having children, and apparently it gets more chaotic as you add children to your family. But in the same breath, life with the girls is simply wonderful and we would not have it any other way. As I am typing this my toddler is whining and crying because she has to have "creative" room-time all by herself...poor thing. But we have found that waking up each morning to their adorable little faces and even more adorable quirky habits, is the best way to start your day! Truth be told, we would be lost without them and I probably would not have enough stories to start this blog!
On that note, welcome to our story. I have a wonderful friend that posts her family's happenings weekly and I enjoy them so much I decided to start one for our family. There is no telling what this blog will include or share, but I think it will be a fun adventure for us. I am off to try to find a moment of peace and quiet....
As if that exists at this time!
