So . . . I guess we'll start with the big news first . . . we have a date! Unless I go into labor before then, we have an induction scheduled on Tuesday, June 19th at 6 am! I'm so excited to hold our babies and see what they look like. Here's hoping they can be coaxed out!

I decided to look up saints for that day, and according to Catholic Online, two of the saints who have their feast day on June 19th are twin martyrs: St. Gervase and St. Protase, d. 165. What are the chances?! I love how God leads me right to these things, because I only read a few of the saints listed before discovering these two. The date had more to do with when my OB was on call and when I'd be 38 weeks along (she scheduled it for us) but I'm convinced it isn't a coincidence. . .

Tuesday was National Peanut Butter Cookie Day, and I saw Four Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies on Pinterest. I looked up the actual recipe on Cooks.com and made them (didn't get around to it until Thursday, but still) and they were good! I don't think I'd use the stir-up kind of peanut butter next time, because the cookies were a little on the crumbly side from all the oil, but they tasted great and were really easy to make, especially with the stand mixer!

I've had this insane urge to clean our apartment the last couple of days, and I even spent my rest time the other day making a list of household jobs organized by daily, 2-3 times weekly, weekly, and monthly tasks. My next plan was to organize them by length of time to complete the task and whose responsibility each task would be, but . . .

. . . I worked on the twins' scrapbook instead. I had gone through their ultrasound pictures a few weeks ago, since I could pretty easily sort and clip pictures while lying down, but actually cutting paper, arranging the page elements, and gluing the whole thing together is really difficult to do unless you can be above the book. I'm pretty pleased with how they came out! I'd like to add some pictures of the nursery and pictures of Dan and I, but one step at a time.

Two blog posts I really enjoyed this week: Caitlin's on "practical atheism" (believing in God, but living daily life without including Him) and Elizabeth's on how we might view modesty differently if men always said what was on their minds in regards to our clothing. The women of #cathsorority are constantly inspiring me to live my life "with faith ever in my mind", which is wonderful!

It's Father's Day this weekend, and this will be Dan's first one! I'm constantly giving thanks for him, since he does such a wonderful job taking care of me (all of us, really) and making me happy every day. So my final quick take is dedicated to my wonderful husband, the best anyone could ask for! Our daughters don't yet know how lucky they are to have you as a daddy, so I'll speak for them too. We love you! Happy Father's Day!!

That's all for this week! Next week, there will be . . . BABY PICTURES!! Hope you all have a great weekend! Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, especially mine! I love you, Dad!
