Update
Sage Drinking a bottle! (I know you're not supposed to prop bottles, but come on... I just have to do what works! I don't do it all the time, just when I have no other choice.)
Wyatt on his first day of school.

Kaylie showing off one of her signature grins.
Where the girls are when I'm doing anything in the kitchen. On the counter in their bouncers!
So these posts are obviously going to be a little spread out for a while, but I thought I'd post a couple of pictures I took today and give you a little update on our family and the girls.
The Girls turned 8 weeks today. They'll officially be 2 months on the 28th. They have both grown a ton, I don't know for sure how much they weigh, but when I hold both of them at the same time, it's a heavy load. I'll give you all those updates after their 2 month checkup.
Kaylie is smiling so easily, I swear she's about to start laughing out loud soon. She smiles all the time, you can just look at her and she starts grinning. Kaylie continues to be the more relaxed of the 2 babies. She is just a laid back easy going girl. She is so easy to love and just makes me smile!
Sage is still smaller than Kaylie, but she's catching up. She is starting to smile in response to you a lot more. She's mellowed out a little bit and where she was consistently crying for 2 hours every night a couple of weeks ago, she is now a lot easier to get to sleep. We are definitely starting to figure each other out. I've realized she just wants her mom sometimes and she doesn't like a lot of background noise. She is a total snuggler and wants to be held all the time!
Maddi & Wyatt are both doing great. Maddi had a rough time adjusting (as we all did) but as Mark and I have relaxed a bit and are handling these additions better, Maddison is also relaxing and doing better. We switched her from the late track to the early track at school which means we are up around 6:30 every morning. This has been much better for Maddi, but much harder for me. I've figured out that if I can go back to bed after she leaves and sleep for an hour or two more, I do much better during the day. It's too hard to get naps in so this is the better solution. We all go to bed much earlier and that helps too!
Thanks for all your support, we love you!!

5 days old
My friend Amy took these adorable photos for me! She did an incredible job and did some great editing work to really make these photos amazing! The backdrops and ideas she had were so creative and cute. I only wish I had known her when Maddi and Wyatt were born so they could have some darn cute pictures. Oh well!! Her blog is www.twosanfordsandacamera.blogspot.com Check out here awesome talent!

Tuesday
So it looks like Tuesday is the day... Surgery is scheduled for 8am so the babies should be here by 8:30! It's very surreal that I only have to be pregnant for 3 more full days after today and then after Tuesday I'll have two more kids to take care of! Unimaginable, but so completely cool!! Watch for photos, I'll try to post some right on Tuesday. I'm bringing my laptop to the hospital so I can keep everyone posted!

Grocery Shopping Crazy
So I have needed something to motivate me to get the grocery shopping done lately; it has been so hard to move around I've just been avoiding it altogether. But last week I went to one of those "Coupon Classes" and wow! I am motivated now!! Not only am I having a blast shopping, I am saving sooooo much money. I'm addicting to trying to beat my last weeks receipt.
So here are my stats: last week I spent around $100 at the grocery store and saved around $60. This week I spent around $80 and Saved around $100!! It's so fun, and once you learn how it is really easy.
Here's the blog for the gal who taught the class I went to: www.sheshopssmart.blogspot.com
If you are interested in having her host a class, it's totally free and lasts about an hour and a half.
Also from her blog there is a link to "Grocery Smarts" which is the site that helps you make your grocery lists. If you want way more detailed info about how to get started saving tons of money on groceries, email me erinmehler@gmail.com and I'll forward you an email I sent one of my friends.
Since I always have to have a picture on my posts, here's a picture of my little coupon/Sunday ad organizer that I put together. It makes this saving money thing so easy!
