Den Of The Danimal

For the last couple weeks, the girls have been increasingly determined to be mobile, and that’s a good thing — except when it leads to mishaps like we had this morning after breakfast. They’re not quite crawling yet, but they’re very close! They get up on their hands and knees and then sorta rock back [...]

Last Friday was a fun first — I took the girls out for their first playdate with another infant! One of our good friends from college named Amy lives locally and had a baby girl (Tesiah Rois) a few months after ours were born. We had Amy over for dinner one night last year when [...]

Carolyn & Elizabeth celebrated their nine month “birthday” on Friday. They’re rolling around now so we have to keep a closer eye on them when they’re playing on the floor. Elizabeth has even gotten proficient at getting up on her hands and knees and rocking slightly back and forth.  She’s not quite crawling yet; but [...]

Last weekend was a fun and special time for our family. We participated in the Baby Dedication at our church. There’s nothing magical about that for the girls, of course — it basically just means that we stood up in front of the congregation, showed off our beautiful little girls, and committed ourselves to [...]

Wow, Carolyn and Elizabeth are already 8 months old!  Carolyn now weighs in at 14 pounds 6 ounces, and Elizabeth is 14 pounds even. They’ve both doing great! We have managed to keep them healthy this whole time (even though Janet and I have each been sick at one point or another), and we’re very [...]

After noting in the last set of pictures that the girls could practically fit in their Christmas stockings, we decided to test that out with some traditional red stockings before all the Christmas decorations got put away.  It was now or never!

For the first time in ages, Janet and I didn’t get to travel up to visit with friends and play in the snow at their cabin in Dorrington. I’ve always said that I look forward all year long to hanging out up there and playing games with our friends, and this year I am [...]

People keep asking us if the girls are identical twins, and we keep telling them that we just don’t know for sure. If you missed a previous explanation, the reason is that the hospital didn’t do DNA testing because it’s not essential, and all of the things that might have indicated one way or the [...]

Okay, I know that Thanksgiving was over a week ago. We were spending time with family and I never got around to creating a new post. But the girls are so cute I wanted to share. Plus we have so much to be thankful for! It was one year ago that we shared with you [...]

The girls had their first taste of rice cereal this weekend. I don’t know if any of it made it all the way into their tummies, but at least it went in their mouths. It’s a new taste, a new texture, and a whole new method of ingesting food, so I think they’re still just [...]
