WE ARE STILL ALIVE!

I suck at blogging.
I see that, I do. I still want to be better about it, but, um, I suck at blogging.

So, quick recap:
Norah is a year old.
Norah IS a YEAR old!!
NORAH IS A YEAR OLD!!!

That baby that wasn't expected to make it, is a year old. And healthy and funny and happy and a giant ball full of mischief. She's such an imp! She's gaining weight and loves food and our pets, and her Daddy & Mumma, and most of all, her sister. She hates to be away from her sister and when she wakes up first, holds onto the monitor and stares at it until Jordan wakes up. She still gets so excited outside the door and when we go in, she yells "DAH-DIN!"

Jordan is still an AMAZING big sister. She has so much patience with her. There are times when she's telling her no, or screeching that she doesn't want a Norah right now, but within a minute of saying it, she's sitting with her and helping her do whatever it was that caught Norah's attention in the first place.
And, Jordan will be 3 this weekend.
On Sunday.
3.
HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!?

I love my girls. I can't imagine a day without them and am so blessed to see them grow and learn every day. I'm a bit of an emotional mess over the birthdays - I can't fathom that my babies are 1 & 3. I just can't. Even when J tells me things like "I needa go to a real doc-or because my butt is cracking. IT'S REALLY CRACKING A LOT!" or when N climbs up stairs of runs full speed across the room & then scales the couch.

and, I might as well get some pictures up since it's been so long :)

this is so them. Laughing and snuggling and just loving each other :)


she's such a ham when she wants to be!


quick! snap a pic b/c she's still!!!


one of my absolute favorites. N actually wiggles herself into J's arms and then gets comfortable.
