All We Need is Love

We don't need material things like toys or clothes, all we need is some Auntie Jess, and cousins Sage and Cole. It's so tough being alone all the time with the twins and trying to give each of them affection and individual time. Everyday there are some tears shed from both mommy and the babes for the need to give and receive attention. Although your visit was short, it was so needed and greatly appreciated. Neither baby cried and had all the love they needed from Sage and Cole. It was so sweet to see Johnny fall asleep in Jessie's arms, and I was able to hold my little girl Shaine while she fell asleep in my arms. Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come visit. Your company made a world of difference for mommy and the twins. You lifted my spirits!!!!!

Another short story from the Book of Blue

For the most part we have a pretty regular schedule going with the twins. When the babies nap during the day they're either on the floor or in their nursery, but today I placed them in the crib that's in mommy & daddy's room. When I got out of the shower low-&-behold...Blue was sleeping on our bed. He NEVER gets on the bed, but I believe he did it because the twins were in the room while I was in the shower. Thanks for looking out Blue Blue!!!!!---We also dressed the kiddos in Cubs onesies that they got from cousin Margaret in Chicago!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much....the twins look adorable.

Enjoying the Weather

Today was turn-around-Tuesday. The twins spent some of their time laying around naked without diapers and they loved every minute of it!! We also took afternoon baths and hung out on the front porch enjoying the beautiful weather!! Dad is coaching a baseball game and hopefully tomorrow we'll get to see his next game!!!!

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...these kiddos are going through some big growth spurts!!! Today Johnny ate 10 oz. and Shaine ate 90z. Looks like we need a whole cow here to supply for the family!! Funny thing is they both are still pretty small babies, but they sure are growing in many ways. Johnny has discovered his ears and Shaine officially knows how to roll over. At first I thought it was just a one time thing, but she does it almost everytime I place her on her belly. Poor little Johnny still needs to learn how to lift up off the ground. There are 2 short videos of Shaine rolling over...enjoy!!!!!!

Some Personality Traits just get Passed On

Can it Be??

We're so happy daddy took Thursday off of work to spend time with the family. We took a stroll around the mall and spent the evening with grandma Mary, auntie Jenn, and cousin Sienna. We had a great time watching the twins sitting in the baby recliner with their new hats. It's been little bit easier getting out since the twins are up to 6oz. in formula and eating every 4 hours, but an uexpected event took place last night. We fed the babes and put them down for the evening at 9pm. Shaine woke at 1am for her feeding, but Johnny didn't wake until 5am.--8 hrs. of sleep!!! Can it be????? Are the babies getting ready to sleep through the evening?? Well, we're just very happy that they're eating well and growing. We miss you already daddy and good luck at your baseball tournament!!!

We Just Keep Growing

As the days go by the twins seem to grow and change more & more. With our most recent weigh in Johnny is 11lbs. 4oz., and Shaine is 10lbs. 11oz. They are also showing off their own way of developing. Shiane is getting really good at lifting her upper body up, where Johnny just moves his head back and forth. Johnny is recognizing touch and movement. In our previous video with the balloons he knows to move his legs, but in this latest video he uses his hands to moves the little lion. Something so simple makes daddy and I so excited and proud!!! Way to go kiddos.

The Latest Weigh In

The

SOFTBALL & BASEBALL FOREVER!!!!!

The past few days we've been spending allot of time watching Mariner baseball, and allot of the NCAA softball tournament. We decided to surprise daddy and dress the twins in baseball clothes. Shaine said it was O.K. since we were watching girls softball. Shaine is wearing the red outfit for those of you who can't tell which baby is the girl. Daddy thought she looked absolutely adorable!!!! We also took a short video of the babies enjoying mommy's birthday balloons!! Johnny kept the balloons hooked to his leg and kicked for an hour until I took them away. Silly babies!!!

Just Because

Not much going on at the homestead, but the kiddos sure do seem to change everyday. I really enjoy just taking random pictures of them never knowing what I'm going to get. I want to thank Auntie Patty for the adorable Duckie outfits. I love them so much the last time I dressed the twins in them I didn't want to take them off.
