Favorite...

Both Jerame & I love morning time with the babies. They are just so cute when they wake up.. They are always so excited to see us. Every morning Chloe screams when we come in to get her it is like clock work, so funny. We just LOVE their sleepy little eyes!!!! Can they get any cuter?

Chloe is a paci stealer

Chloe & Carter always steal each others pacifiers and they normally think nothing of it. It is just part of their everyday lives :-). We had Kirk, Karen & Sydney over to play and the first thing Chloe did was seal Sydney's paci...she didn't think it was so funny!

Army Crawl

When we were visiting Jerame's Dad last weekend Carter learned that he could crawl to his Dad. It was just too precious for words. I HEART these boys.

Easter Weekend

Jerame's first blog ...

This is my cameo posting to tell everyone about our fantastic Easter weekend. As some of you may know my dad, Paul (known as “Papa Paul” to Livy, Skyler, Chloe, and Carter), was diagnosed with advance prostate cancer a year ago. After he was diagnosed I spent a week with him, which included Easter Sunday, coming to grips with the life changing event and ultimately figuring out how to start fighting the fight. The week ended up being one of the most significant, memorable, and impactful weeks of my life.

We had not seen Papa Paul since October. He had spent the last two months at MD Anderson, in Huston, getting radiation treatment, which he responded remarkably well to. This meant the last he had seen Carter and Chloe they were only two months old. We were all desperate to see each other so Katie and I mustered the courage to make the 5 hour drive, with the twins, to Deer Park, just outside of Spokane.

After we purchased a dual DVD player, Baby Einstein was a critical part of our travel plans, we started our trek east at 7:30 Thursday night. We made great time, the twins slept the entire way, and our trip was off to a great start. Once we were there we kicked off what turned out to be an equally memorable Easter weekend.

We spent most of our time playing with the twins, eating, telling stories about the hippie days, and enjoying watching Carter and Chloe play with their grandpa. The highlights were Carter & Chloe getting to see and pet their first horse (Dad is convinced Chloe is going to be a cowgirl), waking Papa Paul up with Carter pulling his nose, and my famous seafood pasta.

After a perfect Easter dinner we started the trek back to Seattle. We left at 6 PM with the idea that the twins would sleep just as they did on the way there. WRONG…….. about two hours in they both decided to melt down, which meant we spent a lot of time changing diapers on the center console, trying to calm screaming babies in gas station parking lots, and arguing about which one of us would get to hitch hike the rest of the way home. We finally calmed the babies down and were able to have a safe and uneventful rest of the trip. All and all it was a perfect Easter!!

Swings

A few weekends ago we had a beautiful sunny spring day in Seattle. Since it was such a lovely day we decided to go in search of a park that has baby swings. They seemed to small still to fit into the swings by themselves so we thought we would try them together. They really liked the swings and they just looked so cute swinging together.

Lots of babies

I had some Mommy's & Babies from my Twins group come
over to play last week. There were 8 babies & 4 Mom's.
We are always out numbered!

Is this a crazy scene or what? Only 7 babies in this picture because one was in the jumparoo!

Las Vegas

Jerame & I took a trip to Las Vegas a few weekends ago. We were gone for 3 nights and 3 1/2 days. It was SO NICE! We stayed at the Venetian in a suite that was just gorgeous. We were defiantly spoiled. The trip was part of an incentive trip for Jerame's work. Last year we went to San Diego & I was pregnant. I was able to enjoy myself much more this time! We did a little gambling, ate a lot, drank a lot and just had the best time finally spending some time together! I also got to go to the Spa one afternoon as well which was a nice treat. The only crazy thing about our trip was the fact that neither of us could ever sleep in!! Yes, I know...insanity! We were up no later than 8 a.m. every day, even on those days where we went to bed at 4 a.m. The babies have trained us well I guess. It was hard being away from the babies for that long...I don't think there was ever a second of any of the days we were there that thoughts of them didn't pop into my mind. When it was time to go home, the plane just couldn't fly fast enough. We were happy to get away for a bit but even happier to come home.

The work group together for dinner at '9' Steak House

My girlfriend Courtney & her husband Ryan happened to be

in Vegas as well so we had some fun with them on Thursday night
