The boys go to TX

Last weekend our family was all set to go to Texas for a party to celebrate Jerame's Grandmother's 90th birthday. However on Tuesday Chloe came down with Roseloa, a viral infection, (fever, tummy issues & rash) so we obviously could not bring her on the 4 hour plane ride. So unfortunately I had to stay behind with Chlo while Jer & Carter made the trek to see the family. I was really upset about missing all the fun but it was much better that we stayed home because Chlo ended up running a fever well into the weekend. It was strange just taking care of one baby all weekend. We had fun going shopping, going to the grocery store and just hanging out together. All these things probably seem pretty basic but, it is challenging to do any of these things very easily when I have both babes. Jerame & Carter's trip to Texas was a success and they had a wonderful time spending the long weekend with family. We were very happy to have them home on Sunday. It was the first time the twins have been separated in their lives for more than 5 hours. They were excited to see each other.

meet Nelle

My Dad brought his new puppy over to meet the twins about a week & 1/2 ago. They had just woken up from their nap so they were not to sure what to think of her. She was only 8 weeks old and such a little sweet puppy.

Last week we officially transitioned the twins to one nap a day instead of two shorter naps. They have adjusted really well, they were ready to make the switch. I am not sure if I was as ready though. I miss having that hour in the late afternoon to get dinner started. It is allowing us much larger chunks of time during the day though to get out and do stuff. We started a morning class last week called 'baby boogie' it involves singing songs & dancing. Chloe LOVED it but Carter was not to sure. He was happy just to sit in my lap while Chloe ended up in the middle of the circle doing the boogie by the end of the hour.

Jerame and I have been getting out a lot in the past few weeks as we finally have a few babysitters which has just been wonderful. Jerame's travel schedule really picks up in the next few months and we also have a few trips planned which I am really looking forward too (minus taking the twins on long plane rides).

Their favorite toy lately is books. They pull them all out and
then 'read' together

Carter loves his fireman hat

the babies diaper about 100 times a day :-)

It's been a while...


It's been a while since I have been able to get them in the same frame, I was proud of myself to capture this since it didn't last very long :-)
The twins are really getting into playing with each other lately. It's so cute, they really do love each other. I am so happy they have one another. They always have someone to play with.

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken by Kristen Honeycutt back in November. She did such a good job. Here are several of our fav's:
