you all make it look so easy

but taking two kids to beach day is NOT easy. not for me anyway. :) thanks matti and liko for basically watching my toddler the whole time. how do you people do it? no really, i'm asking. ha!

i told thomas that back when we had just one kid... calling myself a "full-time mom" was like patting myself on the back. yes, good, involved moms are busy all day... but now i HAVE to be busy all day. i have no choice. i slack off and someone starves! ;)

anyway, they are both napping and i dont intend to waste the time with all this whining and carrying on.

just wanted to say: "wow everyone with more than one kid. i am impressed. you make it look easy. good for you! i hope to join you someday (soon!)"

the end.

you already have joined us, silly. and you AND echo need to give it TIME. you will find a schedule that works, that will help life run more smoothly. but it has only been a few weeks. patience, my dear friend. you are handling it all just fine.

Well I must say that Alligator Pond was crazy today...VERY HIGH & with any kids that was nuts....so you still deserve a BIG pat on the back.

ah, sorry i wasn't there to help.

i agree with liko, give yourself 4-6 mos. to get a schedule and life gets a little better. :)

-thanks for taking us through cali
-amby's haircut is great
-don't worry, I think 1 kid is hard enough. You are a trooper for even taking them both out. but its better than staying home.
-and I like Asher's smiley picture on the side

You are doing really really great! I echo Stef and Liko. I know I am still figuring it out but it is definately getting easier and better. But, I feel like I barely even watched Ambo today...I think I did for 4 min. But your appreciation is appreciated. Thanks for letting me use your tent!

Your boys are adorable! It definately gets easier taking 2 kids around when they get a little older and you don't feel like you have to pack 900 things every time.

You are doing great! We're all learning right along with you, that's for sure! Everyday I ask myself, what the freak am I doing!

we all must be really good actors, huh? cause like megan said we are all learning.
it's fun.
it's crazy.
it's hard.
it's worth it.


and, that family picture where amby is kissing ash is to die for. i love it. i want it to be of my family so i can put it on my wall. maybe i will just put it on my wall anyways? glad you guys had a great trip, bummed that bakersfield is so far from us, it would have been fun to see you and da boys!

I don't think it's exactly easy for anyone. But, the good news is that it gets easier in so many ways when your tiny baby gets older and a little more independent. So, hang in there!
