I am posting this a day late so I hope I don't forget anything!
Today's positives:
1: Gracie and I got to go hang out together before her doctors appointment. We went and got a juice and did some coloring and walked around the exchange on base. It was fun!
2: Grammy turned her dining table in to a fort and Gracie and James had a wonderful time playing in it all afternoon.
3: I took both the kids on a walk to the mailbox (which is a pretty good walk for little legs). James didn't love how hot it was but we had a great time splashing in a random puddle in on one of the apartment buildings.
4: Gracie fell asleep on the sofa in a cute little ball.
5: Serenity decided she needed to be held all day yesterday and I decided I don't mind one little bit and I don't think her Grammy does either ;)
Unfortunately I can't remember much else from yesterday which is what you get when you post a day late...
We did find out we are moving though! I will let you know more when I do!
Post later!

Day 2: Two's company, three's a PARTY
OMW today has been busy, a tad long and tiring!
Today's positives:
1: Nobody peed out of their diapers and in their beds last night!!
2: Last night me and James had a lovely snuggle and read a story about 3 little owls :)
3: This morning Serenity got to sleep in while Gracie, James and I got up and started morning hustle and bustle.
4: We a nice trip to the grocery store, where Grammy enjoyed showing off her grand babies. The kiddos were so good I got them a juice bottle with character lids. Gracie wanted "kitty one mama" James - "Want the head one" aka Superman lol.
5: Gracie and I read stories while James took a nap.
6: James and I did puzzles while Gracie took a nap.
7: We got to skype with Great Grandma and Daddy today.
8: I got to bath Serenity tonight which I must admit to quite enjoying. My favorite part is brushing her hair!
9: The kids ate up all their dinner and had seconds. Which is actually more exciting to me than winning the lottery LOL. Sad thing is I'm not joking...
That's it for day two folks.
Goodnight all!

Day 1: Let's start at the very beginning!
Okay, I have caught blog fever again and it seems that, for now at least, life has presented me with the time and energy to make it happen.
I have frequently thought about and missed writing 365 D.P.P so instead of my military wife blog i'm going back to chirping about my kiddos!
Of course we have a whole new addition to our family. We welcome the littlest peanut Serenity Rose Eriks.
She was born at 6.11am July 8th. Weighing 7lbs 3.4 oz and was 18" long. So far she is living up to her name and shaping up to be the easiest of my three little pickles.
Today's positives:
1: We woke up together this morning and all snuggled up to watch Mickey's Clubhouse. Gracie is quite a fan of this show and not only sings almost the entire theme tune but can do the Minnie Mouse version of the "hotdog" dance. James just jumps around like a snowman made of boulders but I admire his enthusiasm!
2: Grammy treated the kids to french toast for breakfast which is a household favorite!
3: The kiddos got to Skype with Daddy today.
4: Gracie and I got to have some special one on one time. She chose for us to build blocks. She also surprised me by counting to 4 unprompted!
5: We enjoyed lunch while watching Lilo and Stitch.
6: We had a successful run to Walmart. I say that because we were in and out in under 60 minutes lol. J got to stay home with Grandpa and Gracie got to choose some fabric for some of Grammy's exciting sewing creations coming soon!
7: This is not technically a positive but did cause a bit of a giggle... Grammy made BBQ pork for dinner and Gracie spent a long time shaping it then announced "It's Mickey Mouse" Then she started poking holes in it and popping peas in, to which she explained "Putting in the batteries GanGan" (GanGan is their term for Grammy)
8: It's 7.04pm and all three of my lil darlins are fast asleep and happy. I am one VERY blessed Mama :)
I think that's enough for today!
It feels good to be blogging again. I hope situations allow for me to continue posting!
Goodnight and God bless all

Day 209: Happy Birthday Jim Jam
Today we celebrated James birthday! We have had a fantastic day!!!
Today's positives:
1: When we brought James out in to the living room, he was pointing and jabbering away excitedly. The decorations were a big success and totally worth staying up till 2.30am doing!
2: We called Grammy on skype to open presents. Gracie enjoyed helping James. I think his favorite gift was his toy hammer.
3: Daddy made french toast for breakfast, James had 2 pieces and Gracie ate 3!!
4: I managed to find dairy free cheese so I was able to make homemade pizza for lunch. James inhaled his!
5: After pizza we had birthday cake. I made red velvet and chocolate icing. We also put a big J on it made out of banana slices. Grammy got on skype and we all sang happy birthday then both of the kids just got stuck right in. There was no time for slicing... It kind of looks like cake carnage now... The kids had a blast.
6: James and Gracie got a lovely bubble bath after cake. They enjoyed playing with their new bath toys :)
7: James and I went to get the mail. The mail-lady wasn't finished when we got down there so I took him to the swings and we had a lovely time swinging. After a while we went and sat by the pool and James enjoyed looking at all the leaves. It's very rare we get some one on one time and I have to say it was lovely!
8: We got to skype with Auntie Sam and Uncle Steve. Then daddy made them some dinner and it was a lovely end to a lovely day :)
I can't believe my babies are 1 and 2 already! Everything is going so fast. Trying to enjoy it while I can!!
Well goodnight all. Enjoy the pictures!

Ps: I had a bit of a Mummy fail and didn't get any pictures of Matt!!! :(

Day 208: 121212
Today has been a fun day full of playing and laughing. I enjoyed being home after missing the last 2 days due to MEPS. I think the kids missed me and I know I missed them.
Today's Positives,
1. Gracie and James were tackling me and climbing all over me on the floor. They thought it was hilarious!
2. Gracie was excited to skype with her cousin Chloe today. She kept looking at the screen and saying "Chloe"!
3. James ate most of his dinner with a fork tonight. I think its the first time he has successfully used a fork on his own.
4. James cuddled into me and fell asleep this afternoon. It made my day!
5. Gracie was lots of fun today and was laughing for no reason at one point.
Well that's about all I can recall right now. I hope everyone has a goodnight,
Matt and Soph

Day 207: Sweethearts
Today's positives:
1: When I opened my eyes this morning I saw the kids reaching through the bars of their beds holding hands playing see-saw. Gracie accidentally pulled to hard and J bumped his head so she kept saying "I sorry Jay Jay, Sorry" It was very sweet.
2: At snack time I gave Gracie the bag of animal cookies because there were not very many left. I kept an eye on her but she made sure to give Jay just as many as she was eating.
3: We got to skype Grammy while we ate breakfast.
4: Gracie kept asking me for "mookicks". Apparently her word for music lol.
5: Today we watched The Fox and The Hound. Really we have to stop watching movies every day!
6: Tonight we read the story of Mrs Tiggywinkle.
We have really missed Daddy today! Hopefully we get to see lots more of him tomorrow! At least we know he passed his final test :)
Goodnight all!

Day 206: Last minunte
Today's positives:
1: We get to spend half the day relaxing with Daddy.
2: We all watched Dumbo together.
3: After we took Daddy to his Navy thing, Gracie kept saying he was at a sleepover.
4: Last nights story was The Tale of Two Bad Mice.
5: We skyped with great Grandma and Gracie enjoyed showing her all of her teddy bears.
6: While Gracie was riding on her rocking horse James crawled over and wanted a turn. Gracie very patiently got off and let him take a turn and waited for him to be finished to get back on.. I was so proud to see her sharing :)
That's all for today folks!
Goodnight.
Sophie
