Today's Inspiration--The Who's

"At the end of the day, it's not what you do, it's who you do it with....." --Chiropractic Inspirational Speaker from NWHSU's Homecoming 2009

Today, I am especially thankful for my husband, who has finally found his place in life, and my 2 beautiful sweeties, who I undeservingly get to call my own, and the family and friends who surround me. [You know who you are.]

The who's in my life make me complete.

My Twins!

Emma Bjorn!

Bjorn Girls!

Emma asked Joy to make her a Baby Bjorn for her baby, so that she could be like Joy! Somehow, Joy made a makeshift Bjorn out of an apron, that I haven't been able to reproduce!

Fangs!

It seems that Eva has fangs! Last week, one of her top teeth ,just lateral to the midline teeth, popped through. Luckily, her other top 3 teeth cut through this weekend, but we have been laughing at her fang!

Guessing Game, Anyone?

Would anyone like to guess what Eva's first word is (minus the typical MaMa and DaDa sounds)?

That Emma.

The girls and I enjoyed a day together yesterday. What do girls do when they have some free time? Shop, of course. I had the ginormous double stroller, and walked away from it to check something out, to return to this conversation, already underway:

Store Clerk: Well, you sure are some adorable girls.
Emma: Yep.
Store Clerk: How old are you?
Emma: [matter-of-factly] Six months.
Store Clerk: Do you mean, like, 2 and 6 months, or 3 and 6 months.
Emma: Nope. 6 months.
Store Clerk: What is your name?
Emma: Crazy Emma Borgen.
Store Clerk: [laughing] What is your sister's name?
Emma: CRABBY Eva Borgen.....

Store Clerk: Well, it was nice to meet you, Crazy and Crabby!

My Valentine.....

New York--Here I Come!

I am flying off to New York this evening for work. I am looking forward to the business trip, but I am going into it exhausted. We just had Homecoming at Northwestern (our yearly conference to get our continuing education credits), which meant sitting in an auditorium for 3 long days, and we had the Homecoming formal which kept us out late Friday night, and the Wishes And More Valentine's Fundraiser Ball last night, which was another late night (pictures to come!). I am hoping to sleep on the flights, but the next 3 days are going to be work-packed.

Pray for Josh as he is a single parent this week, and super busy with work too.....

Mom, Where Are You.....?

Josh and I were looking at our schedules for next week. I am in New York for most of the week, and Josh continues training in Eden Prairie, but has 2 late nights while I am gone. We both feel that we are at pivotal moments in our careers. And yet we have 2 kids that need us dearly at home. Where do we meet in the middle? We need a Grandma.

It's Days Like These That I Wish I Wasn't Salaried....

I saw 30 patients between 7am and 10am this morning.

A New Start

Today marks the start of a new career for Josh, and a new life for our family. Josh has worked very hard for the past 6 months to get where he has gotten, and for that I am very proud of him. I believe that he has achieved goals that he didn't even know he had, and has certainly taken on an adventure that is outside of his comforts of the restaurant world. Mark my words, though, he is going to be so successful at what he does, because he believes in it..... I have never seen him so happy, and so apprehensive, as he did this morning when he left in his suit! ;) As his new boss put it, insurance agents work hard, but they also play hard. We are looking forward to new friendships, new work hours, and 2 all-expense paid trips a year!!!

Congratulations, Josh, I am so proud.
