Just Ramblings

Toya, Jordan, Kelsey (L), and Kaylee (R)

first i want to say that i am sorry for not updating sooner, but if you look at my ebay, you will see that i have been quit busy listing auctions. i have 90 listed, plus i have some bigger clothing from my daughter and son that need to be listed still. on to other news, i am happy to report that there is really nothing to report. that sounds really good right now. i do have some cute info, but a important update first.

i just wanted to thank you for praying for our assistant pastor's wife kathi. she was given an antibiotic even though they were convinced that it was not an infection. well, it started to clear her lungs up and she went home the next day :)! she is due to have her next round of chemo this Wednesday, so please pray for her. this is very aggressive chemo and she is sooo tiny as it is that it makes her quit sick and weak. okay, here's the update from our house.

the girls are done their meds, besides kaylee's tb medication of course. their pneumonia seems to have cleared up nicely. jordan is also done with all of his as well. i am liking the one medication for kaylee and that is it. i know that winter is not over so they will probably be sick again, but i definitely needed a break from it, and it's been about a week now. it gave me enough time to get the majority of my ebay listed. on to some cute news.

i have noticed that whenever the girls look in a mirror or something like that, that they think it is "sissy" in the mirror. they don't see themselves. when i got to thinking about it, it made perfect sense. they are so used to seeing each other that a mirror is not really interesting or fun for them. they do the same thing if i show them pictures, they always say it is "sissy", like they can't tell the difference between the two of them. even the birthmark does not seem to make a difference to them. the first time i realized they were doing that i remember thinking how absolutely adorable it was. they are both so opposite in personality. kelsey wakes up happy, while kaylee wakes up grumpy. this makes it a little easier as i don't have two cranky girls at once. i almost said babies and realized that they are not babies anymore :(. they will be 2 in less than two weeks! i am quit upset about that. they are at such a fun stage that i don't want them to grow up anymore (just a little to get rid of all the sicknesses, then they can stop). anyway, about the crankiness. kaylee woke up from a nap in the van and was very cranky. kelsey woke up fine and was following kaylee around the house saying "it's okay sissy" and trying to hug and kiss her to make her feel better. as cute as i thought it was, it only mad kaylee mad. kaylee kept saying "NO" every time kelsey would tell her it was okay. kelsey is also the more clingy to mom and the tattletale. as soon as she learned to talk, she learned to tattle. now whenever her brother or sister hits her, she will come to me and say "brother hit me, or sissy kicked me", or tell on whatever they do. her vocabulary is quit extensive! kaylee is very open to other people. she is the daddy's girl, which could of resulted from kelsey being such a mommy's girl. she figures she'll get it from whoever she can (which makes me sad). her vocabulary is not quit as good as kelseys, but i attribute that to the fact that kelsey never gives her a chance to talk. anyway, they have a appt. coming up on feb.5, so i will let everyone know their stats and how they are doing then, as well as a birthday update. here are some pictures of just how different they are. kelsey is the messier of the two when it comes to eating, and here are the pictures to prove it (they had the same thing). also, i know it is lunch time and they are still in their pj's, but we didn't have anywhere to go and they were just going down for a nap anyway. okay, here's the pics:

Kelsey ~ aka messy :)

Kaylee ~ aka clean :)

here's some pics of the girls in their new gymboree outfits! i can never find anything that exciting for jordan, but he doesn't care.

Toya with Kaylee (L) and Kelsey (R) aren't all of their outfits adorable!

i would like some opinions on this next thing. i have struggled with what to get the girls for their birthday this year. while shopping, i came across a great deal (regular 129.99 and got it for 64.00 on clearance) on a peg perego santa fe express ride on train set. i think the girls will love it and the whole way home they were saying "chugga chugga choo choo". my question, is this too boyish??? also, for other twin parents, do you think it's okay for them to share a present? here is a link to it on the walmart.com website: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3661057

okay, my ramblings are over. i hear thumping upstairs which means the girls are out of bed and ready to come down stairs. here are the pics of the girls with santa, i had posted jordans already, but i am just getting the girls back now so i thought i would share. i think the twins really loved santa, don't you??? lol

Kaylee (L) and Kelsey (R) ~ i'm not sure santa enjoyed it too much either :)

Toya and Santa (sorry, didn't realize how messy her face was)
