I Love Those Kids :)

Sometime, I feel like I am over my head with those kids. Not sure I am doing this whole motherhood thing right, I am also afraid to do it wrong and not being able to fix it or make it right. I am so grateful to be able to spend all day long with them, to be able to see them grow and learn and have fun all day long. I love those kids, we have our bad days and goods days, but we always have fun.

Genne's first tooth !

Genne had her first tooth a week ago and working on another one. It all went pretty well, only had a little fever, but still eat and was her happy self.

Too much time in my hand !

This morning , to a wonderful surprise, I wake up to a super clean front room and kitchen ( Thanks Matt, you are awesome). . . Which leaves me with nothing to do, but getting ready for church. . . We were done 1 hour before church, so I decided to take some pictures of the kids. . . Here some for those who can never get enough (Aunt Roselaure) of those cuties :)
