I get a lot of questions from people on how to manage 2 babies under 2 years old. I usually laugh - thinking to myself - I can barely manage to remember to brush my hair most days...let alone manage the two of them. But in reality, I do manage them - to the best of my ability. I would be lying if I said that there weren't days when one of them ate lunch in their pajamas, that Gabby somedays watches 2,3 or 4 too many episodes of Dora the Explorer, that I feel extreme guilt around Drake and the whole "2nd child syndrome" and lastly that if I admitted it to myself, I just dont have enough hands to fully give them all of the attention they need at their ages. However, this is why there is joy in siblings....because what I don't give them - they get from eachother. I say this as I witnessed it first-hand today - a true exchange of sibling love....
Gabby shoved a puzzle piece directly in Drake's mouth - and he took it without hesitation, and ate it.
Bits and pieces of our life - as we navigate through the world of being parents to two toddlers!

Snapshot Saturday
Woof! Woof!
This is Gabby playing hide and seek with Daddy. A typical day finds her in Dora Attire (Pajamas, Shirt, Socks..etc) and some sort of shoe - today she rotated between her new Silver Boots and Red Patent Leather Dress Shoes, sometimes wearing one of each!

Jumping Bean!
Brandon has Drake on a very regimented strength and conditioning program to make sure that he is in tip-top shape come baseball season next spring. First order of business: Strengthen those calve muscles.
Mission Accomplished.
And - that flash you see is not a ghost. That is my lightning fast daughter. Perhaps this display of quickness caught on video will justify why I never have any pictures of her in focus!

Happy Halloween!
So yes, I realize that Halloween was a few weeks ago....but I had a slight mishap in the kitchen which resulted in me not having my laptop for a week. Let's just say I am a mom of many talents - while multi-talking (like always) I amazed myself with a new talent of falling dishes and slicing my power cord in half. Yes, many talents I do have! Here are two of my favorite pictures of the kids on Halloween! We decided to dress them up as Produce!
Gabby - Strawberry Shortfuse...I mean Shortcake :)
Drake - My little Pumpkin :) All 21 pounds of him.
