Our year in review

Happy New Year
Since 2007 was so eventful for us I thought I would take a few minutes to recap the year.

January 1, 2007
Water broke at 9:30 pm and we went to the hospital.

January 2, 2007
Sophie Rose was born at 7:11 am and Isabelle Grace at 7:14 am after 7 hours of labor and 1 hour of pushing.

January 5, 2007
We bring the girls home and the madness begins.

January 2007
Mark finally finds the root of his ear infection and spends a hairy night with Miss.Belle.

February 2007 The Battle with GERD
Isabelle showers mama and Ciocia Val with spit up all month long (I guess she likes us the best).
After a month of formula changes, crying all the time, and long feedings with burps in between each ounce we get the answer we need. PREVACID!!!!!!!!!! God's answer to our prayers

March 2007 Rotavirus
We had a stomach bug run through the house. We all had a taste as well as family members coming in to help. What a nasty virus.

April-May 2007 Go Somerset JV Baseball
Mark starts coaching which means long days with alot of people in and out of the house. Saturday practices kept Dada away for 6 days a week.

April 2007 Rich, Sophie Rose's First Crush
Sophie starts physical therapy with Rich for her torticollis. We spent 2 days a week with Rich and she was discharged in June. She was quite taken with Rich at times and loved to go see him.

April 2007
The girls were baptized at Holy Saturday mass on April 7. Miss.Belle cried through the whole mass (which lasted 2 and a half hours) and Sophie slept through it all. Our girls are definitely not identical.

June 2007 Schools out for summer
Mark was home for summer vacation and the girls were getting on a nap schedule finally. We had a great summer together filled with long walks and cool downs in the pool. Sophie and Isabelle could sit up on their own and could roll over both ways.

July 2007 We found our Mary Poppins
Mark and I started interviewing potential nannies to watch the girls when school started again. Katie came into our lives and has been a God sent for our family.

August 2007 Mama is back
I started taking my vitamins again and wow what a difference. I finally feel like myself again and just in time for school to start.

September 2007 Sophie and Isabelle can crawl
They started crawling a different times during this month. Now baby proofing the house was a must except that they disasembled all of the proofing that we did.

October 2007 Ear aches for our spider and cat
We got our first ear infections this month and Halloween was really fun. Sophie was a spider (with a baby head because she would not keep the hat on), and Isabelle was a cat.

November 2007 Thank God for Ear Aches
Thanksgiving was at Yaya's house and they both got ear infections the next day. At least Mark and I were on vacation so that we could spend the whole time with our sick and cranky girls.

December 2007 Santa brought Ear Aches
Do we see a trend here? Christmas vacation brought another ear infection for Miss. Belle but it also brought her walking around. She is the shortest person walking around ever. Santa brought the ball popper and the sit and spin Zebra.

Overall 2007 was the best and most trying year ever. Our lives changed so much in a matter of one day. I can't wait for 2008 and to watch the girls grow and change every day.
