Motherhood Hasn't Swallowed Me Whole -- Yet.

Unintentionally, I took a few months off from blogging. Life has been full of moving, getting settled, the holidays and ya know -- raising babies! We successfully made it to Washington, and I dare say, are settled in our house. There is still work to be done, but we've only been here a couple of months and I think we have made great progress! I will try to do some room reveals in the coming weeks. Preston turned 2 in November, we had a lovely Thanksgiving with friends, and celebrated Christmas in our own home for the first time.

Since we have been MIA for a while…here is a massive photo dump of the cuteness my days entail:

Welcome to our new home!!

Addie (front) and Laney (back) at 2 months

This boy LOVES his sisters. Especially Laney. For whatever reason I think they have a special bond.
They even look alike. 

He always hugs her and calls her his "Laney Girl". It kills me.

This is what it looks like to grocery shop with the girls. I wore Laney and strategically placed groceries around a sleeping Addie.

Such a happy baby! Addie smiles all the time.

Lest you think that a certain little boy has been neglected…

Possibly one of my favorite pictures of all time. He gets it honestly!

My sweetness.

He even suckered me into a $7 train ride at the mall while we were Christmas shopping. 

In other news…we recently transitioned Preston to a toddler bed. I was totally unprepared when I came home from running some errands and found that Ed has taken the rail off. Preston was so proud though. He couldn't contain his excitement! Someone else has found it to be an optimal spot as well...

Preston, of course, thinks its hysterical and always says "Zodey…so silly". Her name is actually Zoey…but he thinks there should be a "D", so whatever.

Overall, I think we are settling into being a family of 5 rather well. We have definitely had some trying moments, but I think that comes with any transition! The girls are growing so fast! Both of them are close to rolling over and I suspect that Laney is cutting a couple of teeth! Addie is definitely the easy going one and Laney is so sassy. I have known it since she was in utero…she is going to be my hand full! 

Not such a little family any more!

I realize that I havent blogged in forever. I've actually meant to, but, ya know... taking care of 2 babies and a toddler tends to take a lot of time and energy.

Oh, and moving. There is that.

Tomorrow we set off on our cross country road trip. Ed is already en route to Washington and will make it there tomorrow or Friday. My mom and I head out tomorrow with the girls and my in-laws will be flying out with Preston next weekend. I am looking forward to the new adventure...though a little apprehensive about the trip itself!

Because there is so much going on and we head out bright and early I will leave you with some pictures of our last month as a family of 5!

Sleeping Together

He loves them more than anything.

Watching over everyone!

My handsome boy! He seems so big now!

Happening right now...she sleeps while I blog. Also, I should note, she is the reason I am still awake.

Introductions are in order!

Friends, Family, and Bloggy Friends,

Allow me to introduce you to the newest members of the May family!

Addison Margaret May and Delaney Gail May made their way into the world on September 17, 2013 at 9:01 and 9:02 am. 

A birth story will come in the upcoming days, but for now a few cute pictures and a promise that we are doing fabulously (and ready to go home!)

Holding hands right after delivery

Big brother was very interested in them! The minute he climbed into my lap he was eager to show me that he knew where the babies nose and eyes were. 

A very proud daddy!

Thank you to everyone who has kept us in your thoughts and prayers! We are so glad our girls are here!
