Our Babies are 1 ... sniff sniff!

Arianna and Matthew turned 1 yesterday! Where did this year go...I tell you where...it went faster than the blink of an eye! I look at how great the kids are doing (walking, talking, climbing stairs, etc.) and I think of how lucky we are! I sat here all day at work (I did get some work done) but I listened to the Mix Cares for Kids radio-thon broadcasting from Boston Children's Hospital. My heart breaks for those parents who have to deal with heartache on a daily basis and I thank God every day for how blessed David and I are to have two beautiful, healthy children.

Ari and Matthew had a fun day yesterday! She still isn't feeling 100% and threw a few temper-tantrums, but over all we had a good day. I took the day off and we played all day. David and I got the kids a ball pit for their birthday and they had fun with it! They didn't want to come out! I took the kids to the mall and got Arianna's easter dress and a nice shirt for Matthew (of course they will match!). I'll also be using those outfits for their 1 year pictures...which I have to schedule soon!

I baked the kids a cake yesterday and Matthew went to town eating it - Arianna wanted no part of it (mainly becuase she was so tired at that point) - she just wanted to go to bed!

We start swimming lessons this upcoming Saturday at the YMCA. We will be going for the next 4 weeks - so I'm looking forward to that. They also have their 1 year check up on Tuesday - so we'll be able to see how big they are!

They will also be upgrading to their next stage car-seats this weekend! No more infant seats for my toddlers!
