November 28th, 2010

We had both of the girls dedicated at Central Assembly of God. Pretty special day for me:)

The girls had matching dresses for church. Don't they look so cute??

Mia's three month picture with Maddie!

The past two weeks have been a little busy at the Hogue house. I went back to work after being off for 12 weeks. I have to say that it is still an adjustment and I'm hoping to get a routine down soon? Having two kids to get ready and out the door in the morning as thrown off my old routine. I find myself getting up much earlier and I still can't get everything done that I would like to. I'm going to have to be much more organized and start putting out the girls clothes at night and getting Maddie up earlier (which isn't easy)!

Both the girls are doing well at daycare which does make it easier on me. Maddie loves playing with the other kids and Mia is content just watching everyone. She doesn't like to be left alone and wants to be where the action is! I feel so blessed that she has been a pretty easy going baby and is always full of sweet smiles!!

We celebrated Bob's 51st birthday on November 9th! He was off that day and got to hang out with the girls. Our friend Julie came over that night to watch the girls so we could go out for dinner. It doesn't happen enough, but it was so nice to have a date night with my hubby!

This past weekend I went away to a worship conference with our church. It was being conducted by Andrew Ironside for the Hillsong church in Australia. It was very informative and I had a great time getting to know everyone on our worship team more. I was a little nervous about leaving Mia for the night but knew she would be fine with daddy. Bob's sister CeCe also came up to spend time with the girls and they had a great time together! I got home late Saturday night and was excited to love on my girls.

Christmas is in the air at our house! We had to set up Maddie's princess tree last night in her room and I would like to have the trees up and decorated this week. I love Christmas and have so many wonderful memories as a child. Our house was always decorated to the max and I want our kids to have fun and enjoy the holidays too!

I haven't had my camera out much so I don't have any fun pictures to post. Mia started to giggle last night for the first time and it was so sweet. Maddie kept trying to make her laugh too and I love to watch them interact together! It will be interesting to see how they play when they get older? I really hope that they will be close because I know how much I love and appreciate having a sister!

Halloween pictures

Maddie was excited to carve pumpkins this year and wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty!

Daddy did the carving and the pumpkins turned out cute!

Maddie's pals Chloe and Claire stopped by on Halloween and they looked so cute!

My little queen!

We went by one house and they called Maddie a beautiful princess! She was quick to correct them and let them know that she was a queen! She is so funny!

I love my little butterfly!! Maddie wore the same costume when she was a baby!

Amelia didn't go trick-or-treating but stayed with Daddy and passed out candy while I took Maddie out.

We had a fun weekend and Maddie got more candy than a girl needs! We only went around our neighborhood and it was fun to see all of the kids dressed up!

My first day at work went fine and it was hard dropping the girls off. Maddie was excited to play with the kids so I knew she would be fine. I know the girls are in good hands but I missed snuggling with my girl! It will take a little time to adjust to working full time and two kiddos, but we will figure it out I'm sure!
