The Martin Invasion

A pre-post for this post, Miss Ballerina loved posing with her daddy. She picked out her dance outfit for ballet class and dressed herself perfectly, head to toe. I think she has her mama's love for clothing! Doesn't every girl need a black & leopard print tutu? Thanks Grammy!




Nana and Pop are finally here!!!! It took four phases to get them here (with still one more load of Pop's tools to go) but they are here and unpacked and their Shreveport house is on the market! After George & Abigail spent five days with the Morris clan in Houston over Spring Break, Laura drove all five kids to Norman and Sherry & Doug came over from Lubbock for the biggest, fastest unpacking you've ever seen...and the most clutter-free living the Martins have ever experienced! Noooo, they're not pack-rats at all (slight sarcasm there!).

Ok, let's back-up. G&A had a blast in H-town with their three cousins and aunt and uncle. What a great seasonal introduction to pull out the shorts and flip-flops from our attic to send to Texas! They went to the Children's Museum and the Rodeo. George loved getting to sit on a real horse and Abigail loved seeing the pigs. They had tons of fun with the "big kids" and ate Laura out of house and home!! Another biggie of that week, Laura tried giving Abigail only cooked fruits and veggies (instead of raw) since we still have tummy problems with her, and her stomach responded well. So we may be on to something here....

Matt and I had a great kid-free week. We ate out tons, had dinner with long lost friends (love you, McClendons & Gannaways & Pollans), and slept in every day! It still amazes me how physically taxing raising twin toddlers is...got all caught up on my zzz's (and managed to work some too!). Matt installed our new lighting for the living room & I hung the new wall arrangements to make our living room makeover complete! We greatly appreciated the parenting break, more than words can express!

We enjoyed spending the weekend with the Morris' and Saffles. Laura, Kirby & Sherry are very gifted at unpacking and organizing...they were such a blessing! Amidst the sea of boxes and fights over the garage sale pile, there were fun times too. Several caught the OU baseball game and everyone took turns entertaining the littlest twins. Nana & Pop are now off to a good start in their new Oklahoma home!

Evie, George, Cliff, Kirby, & Abigail
