Happy Valentine's Day!

I was trying to get a nice picture of Emily and Ally together but they were working against me and made it impossible. The pictures I got of the two of them have one or both of them crying in all of them. I decided to go with the separate pictures. Maybe I will try again after their naps.
For the past two weeks or so, Emily and Ally have been on a really good nap schedule. Ally usually wakes me up around 7:30 am. Mornings are super crazy around here. Emy and Ally are both hungry and I usually have to make the decision of who needs food more. Usually Emy wins because she will ask for a nanna until I want to scream. Ally is alright if I put her in the walker but that only lasts about 10 minutes. I don't get to sit down and eat until they have both been fed. Fortunately it didn't take my body too long to get used to that schedule. After everyone has eaten, it is play time. Ally will roll around on the floor for a while and Emy usually runs back and forth from her room, bringing out different toys or books. Ally is usually ready for a nap about an hour and a half from when she wakes up. After I put her down, I check my email and do other things on the computer while Emily runs around and begs me to give her my attention. The other day she came up and asked me to read her the bible (she has a kid-version that Jeff and Dorcas gave her). How could I resist that? Ally usually wakes up around 11 and I try to get her fed before lunch time. It I wait to long, things become crazy. At noon I have started to listen to the Dave Ramsey show on the radio, so I fix lunch and try and hear what he is saying over the two noisy babies running around the kitchen. 1pm is nap time and both of the girls usually go down peacefully. I get to listen to the second half of the Dave Ramsey show in peace. That is also when I try to get everything else done. Usually around 3 I hear both of the girls stirring. I have started giving Emily an afternoon snack so she now asks for it when she gets up. After she eats and I feed Ally, if the weather is nice, we go outside. If the weather is bad, I will let Emily watch one of her videos, since we don't have cable anymore. At 5 I try to get dinner started so that when Dave gets home, we can eat. 6 is dinner and by then, Emily is starting to fade. She will either be in a really good mood, eat her dinner well, be rewarded with dessert of some sort, and get to stay up a little later or she will be in a really bad mood, not eat her dinner, be put in time-out several times, not get dessert and therefore be in a worse mood, and be put to bed earlier. Ally is usually down for another nap around 5 and it is much easier if she sleeps through dinner. Emily is in bed between 7 and 8 (depending on her mood or our tolerance level for the day). We give her a bath every other night. Dave and I try to split taking care of the girls at night because we are so tired. Dave usually takes Emy and I will take Ally (unless it is Emy's bath night, then he wants Ally). Ally will usually have her last feeding between 8:30 and 10pm. She goes into her crib after she eats and she is done for the night.
Man, I am exhausted just typing all of that. Some days are hard and some days are really rewarding. I love being able to stay at home and take care of the girls. It is really fun to get to watch them start to interact with each other.
