Start of classes and new routine

At this time i am now in my 2nd week of classes. things have, for the most part been going very good. I'm moving right along in my classes, they seem not to be very hard right now and for the most part enjoyable. the girl's and i are falling into a routine already, though their schedule hasn't changed much expect for who they spend their mornings with. We still get up at the same time ( i get up with them and get them ready then go to school) and do naps the same time (after i get home from classes), we try to eat around general times and play and do the stuff we usually do. it's been very convient to have my mom and sister in law watch the girls. easier on my and the girls seem to enjoy it.
the only blip in the whole thing has been i've been waiting on my money from the school (grants) to arrive. this was very stressful to me because they first mailed it to the wrong place and then no one could tell me where it was or when/if it was coming at all... so groceries, gas, and everything else was not the easiest to get for awhile since i had NO money! but thankfully it came TODAY! God is so good! and i knew He would provide; in the middle of having no money my mom was able to sell my old saxaphone and get us a washing machine so we didn't have to drive to do our laundry (sorta a necessity when we do cloth diapers) and i was able to put some groceries on my student account to pay later. so let's just say i am beyond relieved to have the money finally come in phew!

sorry for the pictures they were sent from my phone and couldn't get them rotated

maisy is getting much more moble now ( though not quite crawling) she can roll, move backward, turn and sit up all by herself and she absolutely LOVES standing. sometimes she yells and me till i hold her little hands and lets her stand


Sawyer is so funny her big thing lately is going on walks she wants to go one like 5 times a day (we don't go that much) she loves "wunning" with "KaKey" and picking up sticks, she usually takes one things along with us whether is be this awesome goodwill hat, or chalk in her bucket, these walks are always interesting and getting this lazy mama off her butt



the girls love cuddle time though not always together (maisy touches sawyer too much teehee) i asked my roommate to take a picture uz i hardly have any pictures of me with the girls cuz i'm the one taking the pictures (sorry we couldn't get sawyer to look at the right time or at all)



the other day at my sister's we decided to try and paint sawyer's toenails. my sister was excited, i was worried and sawyer just looked excited as usual. i did them and she sat there very still laughing every time i put more color on her nails. and she would say "cooooote" aka cute. let's just say she loved it and we have since done it again with more success!



hahah i loved this picture of maisy it was right after nap time and time for food. she just like sawyer looooooooves eating and feeding herself. and she's always the happy camper (except if she has to wait for me to give her more. lol



love you guys

Change of Address

This past week we have been getting settled in our new home. We moved to lincoln for me to go back to school. Classes start on monday aahhh. It's been a strange week, good, much better than expected, but it still sort of feels like a visit. The girls have dealt well with the adjustments, in fact they hardly seem to notice the difference.
Our house (duplex) is really nice and has quite a bit of space, it's kind of funny because it's old military housing so everything looks similar but I still like it.
Once school starts some of my family will watch the girls while I go to classes in the morning, never later then 12:30 and never more then 3 hours a day. To me that's important not being away from the girls too much. Plus not getting overloaded on school either, hopefully it all works as planned.
