What we thought would be our "dream house" has certainly seemed to shrink significantly in the past three years! We bought a small four bedroom in the suburbs, assuming that it would be more than enough space for two or three kids. Already we relaized that with two rambunctious pre-schoolers and another on the way, some definite changes were going to need to be made. Fortunately we have a large lot and were able to put on a fairly large family room/master bedroom addition to the first floor (so there would be four spacious bedrooms on the second story). Luke really wanted to just move to another house, maybe one closer to the city, but I thought that we had a gorgeous, private lot that we wouldn't be able to find again (at least not in our budget! :)Also, since a few of the manuscripts I was working on had just been published and we had a little extra money that was not going into the kids college funds or a vacation, we should also redo the kitchen with some nice new appliances and countertops. Again, Luke disagreed, fortunately, I won that battle and now we have a gorgeous, sunny kitchen that we both love.
The twins recently started pre-school, and they both love it. We send them to the town program, which is in the elementary school, so they will be at the same school until sixth grade. Clara has turned into a real daredevil, and recently fell off the big slide (off limits to the pre-schoolers!) and broke her arm. Despite her adrnaline-seeeking personality she is very quiet and has a few quiet friends she likes to play pretend and dress-up with. Bert, though much more cautious than Clara, has many more loud and active friends who like to run around the house being firemen and making as much noise as possible.
Both Bert and Clara adore Mina and are very gentle with her and understanding of the fqact that mommy and daddy need more sleep in the mornings now. One day they even brought us breakfast in bed: pop-tarts and the container of orange juice. It was adorable :)
