Thanksgiving 2008

Well, this weekend the girls reached a ton of milestones! They both started crawling backwards, they both started waving, but usually won't do it on command, Sammy started holding her own bottle and she said mama (it was more like mamamamama).

We had a photographer come out to the house Sat. morning to take some Christmas photos of the girls. The were not feeling well and weren't happy at all. We're not sure if it was the flu or teething or what, but they sure felt yucky all weekend...They started to feel better late Sunday afternoon so I took these photos.

Awww....












Well, it was the girls' first Thanksgiving. We went to my sister Rachel's house and had a wonderful dinner and hung out most of the day. It was great to spend the day with family and play with the girls. Friday after Thanksgiving we went to Kevin's sister Melanie's house for dinner again. She had a houseful. It was great to see everyone and to meet his newest second cousin, Ezekiel. He is such a cutie!

Mother of Twins Prayer

Mother of Twins Prayer

There's two to wash,
There's two to dry;
There's two who argue,
There's two who cry.
One's in the mud, Having a ball;
The other holds a crayon... Another marked wall.
Some days seem endless, My patience grows thin.
Why did God choose me To be a mother of twins?
The answer comes clear- At the end of the day,
As I tuck them in bed And to myself I say... T
here's two to kiss, There's two to hug;
And best of all, Thank You, God, for two to love.

Halloween 2008






































































































When I picked up the girls from daycare on Halloween, they were both wearing these cute little spider hats that Darlene had made for them. They made me laugh!! They look like little reggae girls.




Trick or Treat! Don't they look like they're having the time of their life??!!! We just took them out for about an hour in our neighborhood. They got mom and dad lots of yummy candy. We just loved showing them off :)






The girls sure made Halloween a lot of fun. The Saturday before Halloween, we picked up Justice, went to my multiples group Fall Festival and then picked up my niece, Breanna, and went to Boo at the Zoo. I thought this might be a little much for one day with two infants, but they did really good. We were all exhausted by the end of the day, but we had a lot of fun! I wish we would have taken more photos at the zoo, but it was sooo busy...

Our Little Angels

Two faces to wash, And four dirty hands Two insistent voices, Making demands Twice as much crying, when things go wrong The four eyes closing,With slumber song Twice as many garments, Blowing on the line Two cherubs in the wagon, Soaking up sunshine Work I do for twins, Naturally comes double But four arms to hug me, Repay all my trouble.

The girls are getting bigger by the day. They will be 8 months on the 29th. They are rolling all over and scooting around on their bellies, not quite crawling, but that could change any moment. Sammy sits up real well and Lexxy sits up, but is still a little wobbly. They are so much alike, but yet so different in many ways. I wish I would have started this blog earlier, but I'll post some photos from early on until now. You can see how much they have changed.
