We survived!!!

Troy comes home in four hours. Yippee! It's been a great week, but man, I have a whole new respect for single moms. I never want to become one. I don't have Troy a lot, but it's amazing the difference it makes to have him around for the whole bedtime routine and cleanup.

My girls are sweet hearts. We sure had fun. I love their little personalities. Livvy is feisty and spunky, but after she calms down, she sure is sweet and will tell me sorry and "I love you." Annika is more mellow, but has the same spunk. She's pretty easy-going and loves to follow sister.

Here's a few shots from this week. The first are my "selfies." For YW this week, we went to Sephora and got makeovers with the girls. I was sporting some pretty nice purple eye shadow. Not my color.

My two ladies love to hold hands and play on our little playground. Livs is such a good helper and so sweet to her little sister. She loves to act like a little mama herself.

 This is our dinner portrait for Troy. Note the half-crazed look in my eyes and the pink hairbow from Anni's torn out hairstyle. She's eating split pea soup. I cooked twice this week. The rest of the time, we ate out of a can. Notice the peas that Anni kept spitting out?

From this morning. These girls have dueling strollers. Thanks, Naomi, for giving us the second. I think there would have been carnage if we didn't have two.
