Today's Celebration- getting to see my awesome brother as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. so excited for a night out, child free!

Today's Resentment- hmmm.... nothing so far. it's been a pretty good day.

Things have been very up and down lately. Our finances have hit rock bottom, but we're getting lots of support from the community and family members. I'm trying to adjust to my medicines and different dosages. I feel bad for my kids, more than anything. They just don't understand why I'm fine one minute and just too tired to move another. However, my children have always had a fairly inconsistent life and are adjusting.

Rose and Lily are about to be 1. I can't believe it. They both are trying to pop out several teeth at once. I've counted 5 on both babies. That includes ones that they are cutting at the moment. Rose has learned to stand up. She gets up on her own, stands for a few seconds, and then sits back down. Lily is focusing more on cruising than standing.

My Aunt Lucy knitted the most adorable sweaters for the babies! I doubt you can see it very well, but Rose's sweater is the darker pink with rose buttons. Lily's sweater is the lighter pink with lily buttons. I am 100% in love with these sweaters. I don't want the babies to wear them because they'll get dirty so fast. However, I'm finding that I need coats for the babies. With the car seat situation, a coat is very impractical. These sweaters will be perfect. I'm so tickled. Thank you Aunt Lucy!
