Ok, so I had a password on the site for like 24 hours and was bombarded with emails and calls about it!! Sorry! I didn't know we had such a following :-) I will take it down as long as you all promise to pray hard to ward off all the pedophiles. I'm not kidding. Pray a hedge of protection around my kiddos so that God will not let some mad mad see their pretty pictures and want to stalk us and snatch them up (Yes, I DO watch too much TV!!) So I'm gonna remove it for the time being, and I'll put it back if I get any bad vibes.

The kiddos are great. We're all well this week! YAY! Please continue to pray for our house, that the right person will see it and fall in love with it like we did. And pray for Anthony that God will open doors and bring him a wonderful, fulfilling job (with a nice paycheck!!). I pray daily that God will bring my family back together. We miss our Daddy.

Aiden had his first full blown night terror last week. It was awful. He cried for 30 minutes straight and was inconsolable. I felt SO bad for him! There was nothing I could do and all he could tell me was that he was scared. It broke my heart. I read up on them and it seems that temperature (colder is better) and noise play a big part in things. They also say it's best not to touch them and just to let them cry it out because they aren't actually awake. In actuality, you could apear to be someone or something you're not because they sort of dreaming while awake. I also read that it's good to grab them and take them outside. Nature is supposed to trigger them to go back to sleep and then they can wake up peacefully. Supposedly, they don't wakeup from a night terror. They can't wake up from that level of sleep without going back through peaceful sleep first. That's just the way it is. Now that I'm educated on them, I'm not so scared of the next one. I do know that Anthony was a sleep walker until his was like 6 or 7, and he still actively talks in his sleep and is super startled if he wakes up from some levels of sleep, so I'm expecting Aiden to follow suite. We'll see!

The girls are just grand! They're getting SO big! They got Sesame Street Walkers last night and they're just zipping (mostly backwards) all around the kitchen now. It's so cute! Aiden thought he should have one, so when they got out he got in...and got stuck. It was lovely. I bailed him out. The girls are sleeping completely through the night now and I am SO glad! It took WAY longer than expected. I hope that they don't relapse back to their middle of the night bottles ever again. They are also eating everything in site. We have four total teeth between the two of them and they are actively working on getting more! It's so cute! Carsen had developed a little separation anxiety. It's a mess to drop them off because she cries for me sometimes now. I KNOW she loves it there, so I think it'll wear off soon. They adore their teachers at school, especially Megan, the Daycare Director. And Aiden just goes right in and starts playing now. Yesterday when he left, he actually went back to hug this little girl who was standing there waiting for him. I am SO not ready for that!! He is already a ladies man. What am I going to do???
Ok, I must work now. Will update more as I get time!

Love,
Mandye

We've had 2 sick babies this week. Neener saved the day and kept them at home for me Monday and Tuesday. This was their first day back. Poor babies. They were weezing and coughing. Carsen is even more needy, if you can believe it, when she's sick. No, seriously, they were some sad faced girls this week. Last night they were much better and back to their new fun game of 'I got your toy!" I'll hear one of them just scream and cry like they're hurting, and when I go check on them the other one has her sister's toy and is just smiling so big at me. It's clearly a fun game. Mostly, Cam takes Carsen's toy, but sometimes Carsen gets the best of her 'big' sis. Carsen is just about to crawl. She's been trying so hard, but just hasn't made it yet. Cam hasn't seemed interested in trying it yet, so we've just let her be content pushin up and rolling around. Well, last night, true to form, Camden crawled a little bit. Her sister has been working so hard trying to crawl, and then she just took off and did it without any effort. Poor Carsen. I fear that all her life she will try, try, try, and then her sis will swoop in and get it right on the first go. That's twins for ya. Always interesting. I guess I better start saving for therapy now. :-) Aiden is doing great. Still eating his 'kicken buggets' and 'roni' and being a big boy. He mostly sleeps in his own bed now, but once in a while I will wake up with him in the bed with me. It's nice, though, to have a snuggle buddy. What's not so nice is to have 3 snuggle buddies who all want to be next to Mommy at ONE TIME. That's been the challenge of the week, I tell you. Two needy girls and one big baby boy all wanting night time attention...and one tired Mommy. So I am writing this in a near-exhaustion state of mind. It's the pits. No news on the job front, but Aiden and I pray every night for "Jejus" to "sen Daddy job" and "sell mine house." (You know, the "Jejus" Real Estate Group! haha!) Now who could say no to that? I'm expecting 'Jejus' to come through and answer that sweet prayer any day now. Please join me and Aiden in praying that the Lord will bring our family back together soon and help Anthony find a job and allow our house to sell. Ok, on that note, I will sign off. God bless! Love, Mandye

Last night was the first night ever that we went out to eat and ALL the kids sat in a high chair. I've been putting it off because I hate to dominate all the high chairs in a restaurant, but we did it! The girls just waved their arms all around like they were about to take off, while Aiden demanded 'Kicken Buckets' (Chicken Nuggets) from anyone and everyone that walked past. It was a hoot! They were really good. I've been blessed with well-behaved children. YAY! In other news...I've started my diet. Mom and I are tag-teaming Simply Weight Loss together. I've heard 'Wendy' on the radio talk about it FOREVER so I'm ready to give it a try. I've been on it three days and I can already fit into my jeans more comfortably. Wish me luck!!!

Ok, so after another fussy Carsen day, Camden cut her second tooth! I just knew Carsen's was coming on in, but it didn't...not that day, at least. BUT two days later, it busted on through. Now the count is Camden-2 Carsen-1. All on the bottom front!!! It's a race to see who gets another one next! I'll keep you posted.

YAY! WE HAVE A TOOTH! Although I had dibs that Carsen would cut a tooth first, it was my baby Cam Cam that finally did it! It's so strange because Carsen has been so fretful, but then Camden cut the tooth. Weird. Anyway, it's her bottom right front tooth and I'm so happy for her. Now that it's in, she's been a little moody (Very unlike her!) but we've dealt well with it. I'll update when Carsen gets hers!
