Buddies…

Love these little buddies…and I love watching what a great, caring, loving big brother Zachary has become…

I love the way they play and laugh and giggle and share and stick up for each other…

He is so caring and helpful and loving towards his babies…

THEY melt my heart!

I think one of my favorite’s of all time…

  • this is my purpose, my heart, my reason for living…
  • THIS is what I was made for…
  • this is love and this is what matters…

No more babies…

It’s been a long time coming…and it’s so hard for me to believe that when the twins were born, Zachary was the same age as the twins are now…???  HOW??  It seems like they were JUST born…swaddled, nursing, first smiles, gummy grins and little snorts (HEY Brando!)…now they are big boys with big opinions and big ideas and big words.  *SIGH*…

For the past couple of months, we have a “bed battle” going on…big brother would always come to our room (5.98 nights out of 7) and the twins would end up in one or the other crib, even after going to bed in their own (master climbers…).  This caused a “rift” between Dad & Mom…as Mom wanted Zachary to earn a bunk bed after 7 nights in his own room and Dad wanted Zachary to earn it after 30 nights in his own room.  Well…this started back in October??…Pretty sure, October…Guess who finally said “Screw it!  Get the boy a bunk bed!”…and guess who sleeps in his room all night now!?! 

All 3 boys are now in the same room…YAY…and I can even write this without a lie and say it is FINALLY feeling like a good choice!  Those first 2 weeks were TOUGH…I had to sit outside the door for almost an hour every night, putting them back in bed if they got up (the twins)…

Some things haven’t changed…they still crash hard…but the one thing that has changed, we don’t have to share our bed with any littles unless someone is sick or has a bad dream…which is about 1 night out of 7…these odds are looking a LOT better!

Good job big boys…even though you growing up makes me a little bit sad…I’m VERY proud of you!

Singapore!!

Business trips are sorely overrated…I mean, who wants to go from meeting to meeting, eating $2000 dinners, hanging out in a $20,000/NIGHT suite at Marina Bay Sands, drinking Champagne, toasting mojitos and enjoying quality time with your hubby…and THEN come back to real life?!  HA!  I really did want to come back to my life, just so I could rest…I can have fun, but I am NOT cut out for “business mama”…my eyelids were getting very tired once dinner ended at 10 PM…and I still would have 3 hours to go!  Nonetheless, it was a perfect trip; got my Starbucks in (a few times), a few toys for my boys and even some Easter Egg Coloring Kits!!!

The view from our hotel room (which was NOT $20,000/night)

Enjoying our first night, stepping out at the Marina Bay Sands!

Said delicious dinners…The first course and the last course…everything was DIVINE!

Said suite…couldn’t really go around snapping photos without letting my roots come thru…so I got few!  Winking smile  Besides, the photos do not do this place justice…from the sweeping view of the marina, to the baby grand in the dining room, to the personal hair salon, massage table, private gym and a walk in closet I would die for in my home!!

Let’s just say, next time, we need to NOT be catching that 7:20 am flight…that was tough to get up!!  (also hoping for a few less meetings and an extra day to just do “fun things”!…)

February…where’d it go???

Well, it’s March…when we started February, we were in Hong Kong…during the past month we’ve had a lot of changes!!  Mostly tho, fun…Happy Birthday Daddy, Pool Days for sleeping (see earlier post), more bad haircuts and a fast trip to Singapore!!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY!!!  You always said it would be a rollercoaster…good thing we love them!!!  You mean everything to us and we LOVE YOU!!!

Haircuts…WHY is it SO hard here???  No…Lloyd from Dumb and Dumber is NOT what I’m going for…when I say “Do NOT cut it straight across the forehead!”…I really mean it…

Good thing I am handy with the scissors/clippers…I really liked that longer hair, but for now, my dear, we’ll be sticking to the shorter hair!!  …also helps that you are truly adorable!!!

Swim Days and Coffee Dates!!  (and maybe a pedicure or two as well!)

123127128130132134

These two didn’t have school one day, while both of their siblings did…so we did what any fun mom would do…grabbed a coffee, had a pedi and went swimming…


Searched for New Pools to Enjoy!!!

We found this little gem…and we LOVE it!!!  Elyxir Wine Bar…has a great kids menu, the pool is free and the kids can chuck their clothes and jump in in their undies…bring the jammies too, because there is a shower in the back and once dinner and moonlight swimming is done, shower time and straight home for bed!!!  No stress!!
