Mother's Day

This was my first Mother's Day and Alan & the girls made it very special. Although Alan had to work during the day, we were able to celebrate at night. We went over to a friend's house (Jason & Diana) for dinner. They have a 4 month old daughter. It was nice to interact with adults! Grace did cry most of the time which was pretty stressful but that's the norm in the Miller household at night time.

Alan & the girls got me wonderful presents including a beautiful necklace. It has a pea pod charm on it with two pearl "peas" for my beautiful girls, Lily & Grace. It will always remind me of my two peas in a pod.

Easter

This was Lily & Grace's first Easter. Alan bought them stuffed animal easter bunnies. They aren't quite old enough for the whole easter egg hunt, basket full of candy etc. I can't wait for when they can do all that stuff. We dressed them up in Easter outfits that had bunny rabbit feet and cotton tails on the behind. So cute! Thanks to my sister for the adorable outfits.

Since we don't have family in New York, Alan's boss invited us over for Easter dinner. The girls were pretty good though they didn't want to go to sleep or take a nap while we were there. Luckily there were lots of people there who wanted to hold Lily & Grace. That gave Alan and I a little bit of a break.

Nursery

Here are some pictures of the nursery. Obviously there is a lot of pink!! I love the names above their cribs. Now if I could only get them to sleep in their cribs.

St. Patty's Day and Alan's 30th Birthday

Alan turned 30 this year on March 17th, St. Patrick's Day. As the girls were only one month old and I was looking and feeling like crap, I knew it wasn't going to be an eventful birthday for him. I wanted it to be though, so I sent him to Vegas to celebrate. I know, I'm probably the coolest wife there is!!! Birthdays are just really important to me.

On his actual birthday, we celebrated by having dinner at the house with the girls. I got take out from our favorite Italian restaurant. I wish I could say it was a quite dinner but with two newborns we don't have any of those these days. One of his presents from me was a karaoke machine. So we are waiting for people to come visit us and partake in a little singing action.
