15 Beautiful Months

Our twin babies are now fifteen months old. They're crazy little fun people that make every single day special and full of love.

Both of them will now climb up into my lap to cuddle or just to sit with me. They also come to me and give hugs. It's so very sweet and makes my day. They love to point things out to us and are very curious & observant. They are doing their best to communicate and I try to "listen" by watching them to figure out what they want/need.

We seem to be teething our molars now which has been going on for a few weeks and is not so pleasant but my babies are taking it well and are rarely grumpy about it. They put their tiny hands into their mouths and are chewing on everything and anything that can reach their back gums. I hope that the teeth come in soon to spare them some distress. My poor little cubs. We've been using some Tylenol, Advil or Oragel here and there but for the most part rest & popsicles have been the best medicine.
In other news, we sold our house at the end of March! It's our first house, which we had built in 2005 and we have had a lot of wonderful memories here. We got married while living here and brought our babies home from the hospital in this house. We also, over the years, built our own fences, our own garage, landscaped the yards and finished our own basement. It will be very bittersweet to move away. I expect I may just cry when we're leaving for the very last time. We are here until May 30 and I plan to spend as much time at home as we can between now and then.

After which, we will be in between houses for a bit, until our builder finishes our new house. We are now speculating sometime mid to end of July. We have the option to stay with family, in our trailer or to possibly travel a bit. (I think our move may actually be harder on our pets, whom its looking like we will have to kennel for a couple of months.) I think we'll play it by ear and hope to not get homesick. It will be so nice to be moved into our new house and have everyone and everything settled again. I'm looking forward to August this year!
