We have been focusing on the housebreaking but don't forget all the other stuff. You will need to start now teaching the rules of your home, same as the kids. Your pup will also need a lot of exercise(tons). This breed is very active especially as a pup. Over the next weeks and months she will need more and more. Right now because of her age she is probably sleeping a lot but that won't last long. With one year old twins it may be more difficult to just drop everything and go for a walk so when they are napping go out into the yard and play. In a different area than what is used for washroom breaks. When your husband is home you will need to have him watch the kids while you go out for walks.
Get enrolled into a puppy class so that you can be guided by a professional and your puppy gets a chance to socialize and learn to listen with distractions. You will want to take what you learn and practice everywhere inside and outside of the home. Go into one that allows the family. Everyone needs to learn how to train and be consistant from one person to the next.
You should also take your puppy with you wherever possible. Don't leave her at home if you don't have to. This will help with socializing.
