Lots of changes :)

Hi Friends :)

We are doing good here.  Well under the circumstances :)

I thought it would be interesting to see what things have changed since adding #4 & #5 to the family :)

1)  We have open nights if someone asks us to do something (before we had our month booked on the 1st of the month...we LOVE(d) being so busy like that), but its super refreshing to know that most likely TONIGHT we will be home just as a family!!

2)  When we go on a date we get to go at 7:00 at night AFTER the twins are in bed (thankful for some flexible babysitters who are good with getting here so late in the evening)

3)  I made my first dinner Sunday night since being home!!  We became even more appreciative of the meals that have come and are still coming!  (seriously you should have seen our kitchen...its hard to cook with two little toddlers standing holding onto each leg!)

4)  We missed church 2 weekends in a row.  I love corporate worship so it stunk to miss it.  BUT we attended last weekend - here is a picture to prove it :)  Kebe and Shena were introduced at church!!

Here are some pictures of the girls BEFORE getting to church...I know, right - we had time to actually get pictures taken.  Thankful for the 10:45 service that Sunday! :)  So this moment cracked me up so much - we could NOT get a picture of them looking at us at the same time.  All they wanted to do was GO.....You will be able to tell just by looking at the pictures what I am talking about :) (aren't these outfits adorable by the way ... my sweet friends Tisha and Melissa got these outfits for them!  I have been dying to wear it on them so was sooo thankful for an opportunity to actually GO OUT!)



 Gross nose break....haha!


 Time to move them to the floor before they fall off the bed :)
 This picture seriously reminded us of when we first met them in the orphanage ONLY they are chubby now and well its just different :)


5)  I don't drive Cailer and Brock to school anymore.  THANKS Trent and Tisha for being the awesomest taxi service EVER...!  I miss it though and can't wait till I can do it again because it is a special 10 minutes (5 min drive and a 5 min wait in the line as I drop them off) as we sing and talk all the way to school!!

6)  I am on a diet.  Not on purpose, but Kebe and Shena are magnets to the dinner table and I end up feeding them half my dinner on my plate.  OH they love table food!  

7)  MY HOUSE IS A DISASTER.  Seriously I used to walk around all day cleaning up the 5 toys Jaci played with and now there is 100 toys spewed all over my living room.  I decided I can only clean my living room twice a day (nap time and at night time!)  I can do it, I can do it, I can do it.....

8)  We are in bed at 10:00 most nights.  CRASHING in and falling asleep in .7 seconds! :)  Before Kebe and Shena we were up till midnight 100% of the time!

9)  We have not watched a movie in forever....!  We even bought a few on Black Friday because they were freakily cheap (like $2 a piece) and they are still sitting next to the TV waiting for some time!  

10)  I take a bath EVERY night after the twins go to bed.  I never got why my mom did this, but now I totally do.  I go in there, lock the door, take the ipad and soak and soak and soak.  Its quiet, no one can get to me to tell me they need me.  (poor neal)

11)  Everything is doubled in our home.  2 diaper changes, 2 bottles, 2 (or sometimes 5) kids in the bathtub at the same time, 2 highchairs with girls begging to eat RIGHT NOW, 2 car seats in our van that take up more space then all three of the older kids spaces, 2 snow suits to put on before we can leave, 2 heads of hair that have to be styled every day OR they go 'frizzzz city' (which then causes 2 little girls to be sooo mad at me!), 2 of the most adorable GIGGLERS ever, 2 adorable little back sides standing at the door observing the world as it goes by them (most precious site EVER)

I am sure there are more things, but I gotta go - I have two babies to care for and 1 bouncy princess toddler!

Love you all -
The Kellenbergers
