Easter Sunday started with feeding babies then heading out for an hour run while they had their morning nap.  Once back, we changed the munchkins into their special Easter outfits and headed to GCC for a huge buffet.  The babies behaved  phenomenally – Evie and Cam were perfect angels and even Calder was good – just a bit boisterous.  He loved banging the table and hearing the glasses clink and more than once tried to grab the cutlery.  Luckily no one got stabbed.  We also saw the Judson triplets – another set of BBG’s…though they are in their early 20s.  I think they got a kick out of seeing another set of triplets and it was nice to see them all grown up (I’ve known the family since they were little) and compare notes.
After brunch at the club we headed to my brother and sister in-laws for Easter dinner – luckily the babies napped in the car ride up…so didn’t have a melt down till we were about to leave.

So the week started with Evie on the mend – but very snotty. She seems to have formed a gross habit of trying to lick it. Gross! Over the course of the week the boys, Tim and I also seemed to catch the cold which we all blamed on Jojo who brought it back from Shelton last week. I think she must feel guilty because throughout the week when the babies (read Cam) would wake in the middle of the night she would conveniently be up and ready to sweep him up and snuggle. Totally unnecessary, very thoughtful and much appreciated as I suffer through my own sinus hell.

Due to the sickness, we didn’t do much other than stay cooped up inside, wipe boogers, blow noses and I had a little time to work and work out. The babies also tried spaghetti – Campbell went absolutely bonkers over it!

Wednesday, Calder seemed to take a turn for the worse and his cough resembled a barking seal. I quickly took him to the walk-in round the corner and they gave him a steroid shot for croup. I think it did the trick as he slept soundly that night and woke to a normal sounding cough and was a bit perkier.

Friday, was the babies 10 month birthday! We celebrated by each baby having one on one time. Calder stayed home with my mom since he was still under quarantine. Campbell went to lap sit with Jojo and Evie and I headed into the city for our first shoot for Parents Magazine! It was a lot of fun! I got to spend some special one on one time with little miss, she loved being in front of the camera and hopefully we will have a special memento come June/July.

For fun (and because it’s a free activity I can do with the munchkins) I sent the babies pics into a modeling agency called Generation in NYC. They liked their look and decided to send us out! Since I used to work in the ad industry in NYC it’s a way for me to stay somewhat connected to one of my passions while also incorporating the babies. This week we had three auditions – and one was even for Gerber! I don’t think we made the cut…but it was fun to take a trip into the city, make new friends and laugh in front of the camera.
