Hi, babes! How has everything been? How are the little ones doing? It's been too long since Zo and I have gotten to see you and your beautiful family, so we are going to have to change that. What's your schedule looking like? We have to try and plan something fun. How has the new year been treating you by the way? We are already a month in, which is just crazy to me.

Lili! Hi! Oh god, that is a loaded question right now. In a good way. I was in Manchester with Molly, helped her and Bambi get settled a bit before flying to Vancouver this morning. Ro is as happy as ever, but I think being with his doggies is playing a big part. Ugh, I know. My schedule is wide open; just holding down the fort during the day/night while Tyler is at work. What about you guys? So far I have no complaints about 2024, and all that I've asked is that it doesn't rush by too quickly. I'm not ready to have a one-year-old BUT I am ready to have the same last name as my boys. | @lilreinhvrt

Anyone else used to think that time was passing by too slow? I blinked and somehow I'm in my 30s with two toddlers, wondering why there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done. Now time can't slow down at all it seems. There are some moments I want to freeze forever, but others that I will happily let whirl by. One of those being the time that my youngest daughter threw up while her older sister dumped her breakfast on the floor. I think we all cried that day. @hfrpstarters

Absolutely. I think everyone wishes that time would speed up, probably in our teen years? Back when we were all excited to be adults and live by ourselves. Here we are! With adult money and adult problems! - Bloody hell. Yeah I would let that moment fly right by too. How old are your two?

Yes, yes, it was! Name her price? Be careful cause she will be asking for way too much more we can afford. You get to deal with the sweet and happy Lucy, I am the one who has to deal with the one who wants and needs things like spending time with our son which we covered for the time being last week. Probably a little of both knowing him. Did I see that our son was a guinea pig in the little ones new bathroom? If so, I am jealous of him. Vancouver is wonderful and she is loving the snow maybe a little more than you do which is catching me off guard cause I thought you liked snow more than anyone I know.

He loved it! We might have a little bath connoisseur on our hands. - How hard do you think it would be to make our own bath bombs? Those things are like five dollars a pop and I feel like making them could be a fun activity? Tell you what, once we get to Vancouver, I will make sure to draw you your own special bath. "Scout is loving the snow" is a phrase I never really expected. I thought for sure she was a California princess now! Ranger looks to be growing as fast as Rowan, our boys.

welcome home | maura & molly-mae ft. rowan & bambi

Maura couldn't wipe the smile off her face seeing Molly with Bambi. She swallowed hard and tried to hold in the tears, knowing that if they started they wouldn't stop. Plus she really didn't want it to trigger Molly, with all of the hormones coursing through new moms after giving birth. "A beautiful welcome home for a beautiful girl." Maura wrapped an arm around Molly's shoulders and gave her a gentle squeeze, Rowan fussing slightly. The older of the two babies threw his hands out against Molly's cheeks and pulled her face to him, making mwah kissing noises. The brunette laughed softly and took his hands off her friend's face. "Be careful. Remember, we have to give soft kisses." Maura shifted the 6-month-old onto her hip and took the phone without question, pressing record once she got the camera open. "Lead the way."

You know as well as I do that Lucy would babysit him at the drop of a hat, I am just glad she was willing to take him for the night on Friday like she did last minute. We are going to owe her big time one of these days, just so you know. How are things in England going anyways without me, Ranger, and Scout being there?

It was SO appreciated. All she has to do is name her price! Things are going, Molly is in full nesting mode and it is adorable. Rowan scoots himself around so much that he usually just flops over wherever and falls asleep. I can never tell if he's chasing Eggy and Bread or looking for something to put in his mouth. How's Vancouver? Is my princess of a dog taking to the snow or no?

Right, you're going to have to roll me out of here at this rate. Do you remember being this big? ..I say as if it wasn't only six months ago. She's also kicking up a storm, in every direction. Probably trying to break out of here. Give it to me straight, Maurs. Am I mad for being so chill about labor? @mauraxhiggins

I was thinking about one of those moving dollies, maybe one that is collapsible to fit in the back of the car? 100% and for the entire third trimester, I was carrying really low. Might have been waddling around the Barbie premiere because of the hip/pelvic pain. There's still room in there for her to kick? She must be dead center in there then! Are you mad - no? Every experience is different. I was freaking out, played it cool until I physically couldn't anymore. | @mollymaehague

You could definitely say that, mate. Know you've been living the bliss of first time mummy. How is the little guy doing? How old is he now? Me? No, no. Pretty sure I was the last to send the cookies. Thank you very much. Really can't be happier with life. Think the only thing that could make it a little sweeter is knowing if I landed a big role or not.

Ah yes, the poopy, hair-pulling, definitely my child bliss! He's great thanks. Soaking up all of the Auntie love while he can. Once we know Molly has gotten resettled after her lass is here, we fly out to Vancouver for a while. He will be 6 months old on Saturday. Are you sure? I could have sworn I had sent/brought the cookies last. Maybe we should both bring some and rock paper scissors to see who starts the next rotation. Oh, are you waiting for a big call?

I'm sure you've heard this a few times, but if you don't, if you hurt her, there is a line of people who also care about her ready to kick your ass. I gotta let him have his moment! It's the final season of his show; he's allowed to focus on that and feel all the feels. - As if he needed my permission. Tyler is a grown-up. You are going to be the ring bearer? Hmmm. Are you prepared to duke it out with a half Irish baby for that title? Because if he is as much like me as Tyler says he is, he will throw hands. Not until July, thank god! But he'll be 6 months on Saturday. | @codycrstans
