Its been so long

Sorry it has been so long. I have been giving my little business legs and it has been kept me running. I am lucky that before even starting as an official business I had a pretty solid customer base.
Since I have opened online, I was asked to do a set of cupcakes for a cafe, not for eating, but for a photo shot. The cafe that did this are bring out a range of drinks and are going to use my cupcakes on their posters that will be advertising the drinks. The cupcakes are the same flavour as the drinks. I can not say anything until they start advertising then I will put up my copy of the photos.
I have also had a few orders for little events and business parties and I have more in the pipeline which is more than exciting.

Ok so that is the second most important thing in my life now to the first most important. MY BABIES. Hastings is growing up so so quickly the kid just absorbs information. We are getting new words every other day. He is also a big of a neat freak, he puts rubbish in the bin like it is a game he puts his books away on the shelf and wipes the table after he eats if I give him a cloth. He just amazes me. He is such a caring big brother. He watches and checks on Calloway when they are at the playhouse and I am at the Gym. The ladies are always telling me how he goes and checks on him and if he gets upset he runs over to him.
That was the big one now for the little one. He will be 3 months old next week what the??? It has gone by so so quickly. We are getting probably 5 full nights of sleep a week sometimes less sometimes more. He is feeding well about every 4 hours some days he has a big of a feeding frenzy which is nice it makes me feel so wanted. I am big on getting kids into a routine but I definitely know that here is a balance to it. It doesn't hurt to make them wait a little while but not too long they are so little and precious. I don't make him wait until it hits 4 hours but I do try and settle him in other ways if it is early. If he settles from that he wasn't very hungry and if he does not then I will feed him. He gives the biggest most beautiful smiles it is an amazing heart swelling thing to see.
We are yet to decide if we will have more kids we are both so happy with the 2 little men we have and we can see the financial and time advantages with only to kids. Especially with family overseas it will be near impossible to afford to take more than 2 kids over to America. But at the same time we have both talked about having more kids as a possibility, and the idea that this is the last time I will see a first smile or first steps or kiss a brand new baby forehead, is a hard thought to swallow. Then again I hate pregnancy so much I know it has a major reward at the end but pregnancy has been rough on my body I am not sure how I would cope if we were to do it again. If we do do it all again it won't be for at least 3 years we need that cooling off period.

Ok so here are my babies. It was nice to catch up I hope to see you all again soon
