Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Everyone!

Well, I went on my very first out of town work conference from Wednesday - Friday in Austin. That just doesn't happen often in the teaching world. It was also my very first time to spend an evening away from the babies. I thought that I would get this ultimate night's sleep...nope...didn't happen. I was up both nights off and on and then woke up very early both mornings. I missed them but they seemed to do okay without me. Humbling, isn't it? I called each night to check on them and Todd would tell me how the night was easy and they were both already asleep. Of course! They went to bed both nights by 7:00 PM and slept through the night. Dad did great in the mornings too. Shelley says he earned a C+ for Chloe's hair! :) Friday morning, Maddie was here and fixed Chloe's hair. I had asked Todd to dress them in their Valentine's outfits and take pictures to send to me while I was away. Here are his pictures and notice Chloe's hair that was done by big sis! (hehe)

Mom's back home!
Look at this Sweet Girl! Always smiling! 
Don't touch my snack cup!
What did I tell you?
Today, Cooper had his first haircut. He kind of had a mullet thing going on and I finally gave in to getting it cut. He cried the whole time and Dad had to hold him still. The fire truck he was sitting in didn't do the trick nor did the Elmo video they were playing for him. But, it was quick and he recovered rather quickly once it was over.
He doesn't have a whole lot of hair but he had this hair that hung below his collar. She also trimmed the top to make it even. You can see in the picture below how long it was.
Look at that handsome Bubs! He knows he's looking cute.
Back at home and giving Mom some smiles!
What a stud muffin!
They both love their snack cups, as you can see. And, they love this radio toy that is magnetic so that it will stick on the fridge. However, they won't leave it there.
She's batting her eyes at him!
Ahhh...and yes...a mouth full of goldfish.
Yep, that's my pretty girl!
She won't be getting a haircut anytime soon.
When Maddie started getting more involved in sports, we bought a camera specifically to take action shots. Todd finally figured out how to do it and he got some really good shots from her last tournament. They did really well at this tournament. Unfortunately, the babies and I missed it because it was my turn to work in the toddler room at church. Two adults, 8 two year olds. Fun times!

Tomorrow, Todd and I are going to dinner and a movie while Nana watches the babies. I am so so happy that we have a three day weekend!
