Update- 9 months!

I know I said once I move into my own house I would blog more often, but life is busier then ever!

In October we moved into a beautiful home, perfect for my family! We are so blessed! Our house came with a hot tub so that has come in handy as the weather gets colder and colder. Although I can't get in it as much as I'd like because I have 2 little ones that are now ALL over the place! And when they are sleeping, I either want to be sleeping or am cleaning up the mess they made. We are still settling in, I am sure this will take a while. At least now I can fit my car in the garage!

The girls are 9 months now. I can't believe it! Time goes by so fast! I am already missing those moments when I could just hold them all bundled up. The first week we moved in Adelyn pulled herself up for the first time! We were so excited. Now they not only pull themselves up and walk everywhere (holding onto something) they are now starting to stand by themselves. They will be walking in no time!

So, everyone asks me how different they are, or how I tell them apart. Well they change almost monthly, so I can't always go by "so and so is the outgoing one". Currently Emmalyn has been quite the comedian. She just laughs and smiles ALL the time. She's been hilarious lately. But a few months ago I was getting concerned about her because she would never smile and Ade was the one who was always smiley. So Emma's the comedian right now and Ade likes her space :) Emma is very touchy, Ade is not. Emma wants to crawl all over her sister but Ade wants nothing to do with it. Adelyn LOVES to make noise and press buttons. She was into her nanas pots and pans yesterday and figured out how to play them like the drums. She was probably in heaven because it was LOUD! She also learned how to press the button to make the sleeping santa at nanas to start snoring. She liked that too! :)

I try to embrace every moment with them because each milestone has come and gone so quickly. I try to look at my messy house and think well obviously my girls gets lots of love and play time with their momma :) They are only this small for a short while. We are excited to have our first Christmas as a family!

A few weeks ago I attended a Christian dance convention in Dallas and took a few of my dancers. It was a awesome weekend. Teachers don't always get the chance to TAKE classes, but the classes they had were so refreshing ( and painful!) It was so great to get back in classes. They also had performances that were just so inspiring. It is so great to see dance the way it was intended to be used, to glorify God! And in EXCELLENCE! People think that "church dance" is not very good, but these dancers were the most beautiful dancers I have seen. Oh, and by the way, Kent from So You Think You Can Dance was there! It was awesome to see him using his dance for a higher purpose!

The holiday season has kicked off and I am officially VERY busy, till about the week before Christmas. Today on my agenda is to make 9 tutus for my dancers, 9 bows, and then I think I need to make 8 more different bows. So I better get off of here! Luckily I have a friend coming over to help, and our girls will have a little play date. It's their first, I hope they play nice! :)

No matter how exhausted and busy you are these next few weeks, make sure to get lots of cuddles and kisses in there for your kids!
