Catching up

I must say, I am not very good at keeping this updated! SORRY! Well the girls will be 7 weeks old tomorrow! Almost 2 MONTHS!!! I can’t believe it! I’ll update this soon with some new pics of the girls and hopefully some video in the next day or so but for now, here are a few little entries on what’s been happening around here…



Mom & Kate Snoozing
I sleep when they sleep!!!




Looking out the window
There is a window in our living room that the girls are fascinated by – I’m not sure what it is that catches their eye, but they love to look at it as you can see by the pic of Nat below.

Our first baby
Well I must say, I think the addition of our new little ones to the house has put our dog into a state of depression….. I think the picture below says it all. She has been great with the babies, but I can tell she misses being an only child.

Grandpa A’s visit
Grandpa A was here a couple weeks ago and did a fabulous job with the girls! I think he had one in his arms at all times……and sometimes he even had two!!!

Thunderstorm
This summer we’ve had some pretty bad storms come through our area and since our lot is jam packed full of trees, I get pretty nervous every time one goes through. Just last week I noticed that the weather was getting bad, so I took the girls downstairs just to be safe. After I finished a movie and the sun came back out, I went back upstairs to get something to drink and as I walked by our front window I saw that half of our tree was gone and was blocking the road!!! I was so glad I took the girls downstairs!! Although this sounds terrible to say, it would have been kinda nice if it would have fallen the other way and landed on the garage while we were in the basement. That would have given us justification to buy the Toyota Sequoia that we desperately need and would have expedited our plans to add a new master suite above the garage. Maybe the next storm that rolls through....

Well thats all for today, I'll try to get some updated pics posted over the weekend.

Folding Laundry

So it’s funny how something I absolutely hate doing could be so insightful. The mindless task of folding three baskets of laundry this morning gave me time to reflect on how absolutely perfect my life is. I’m married to my best friend and the love of my life. We have a comfortable home in a new city that we love. We’ve been doubly blessed with our beautiful twin daughters. Our families are healthy and happy and we’re surrounded with new and old friends that are always there for us no matter how many miles might separate us. I couldn’t ask for anything more. (Who would of thought I could get all of that while folding towels?)

Well the hubby is really enjoying his father’s day gift and is getting into his new photography hobby. I love that he is so into it, because I am so not a picture taker. If it were left to me, we’d probably only end up with a handful of out-of-focus pictures of the girls over the course of their lives. I’ve attached a few bath time pictures that he took during this past weekend.







So what’s new with us this week……..

The girls had a doctor apt yesterday and are weighing in at 7lbs 6 ozs and 7lbs 4 ozs. They are averaging a gain of 1.6oz per day (far above the recommended gain of 0.75oz per day)!!!

This morning “N” woke up just as daddy was leaving for work, and as he kissed her goodbye she flashed a quick smile at him. I know she probably doesn’t realize she’s smiling – but I like to think that she does. (I attached a picture below of a previous smile- sorry about the rotation)

Grandpa “A” will be here today to meet his new granddaughters - they can't wait to meet him!

Well that's all for this post - "K" is yelling at me because she's hungry. (And when "K" yells - I jump because she's got the most ear piercing cry I have ever heard!)
