Fifteen months have come and gone since our precious little ones were born. Here are a few of the current highlights: 35 pounds (Carolyn 17-3; Elizabeth 16-13) Last week we joined my parents and my sister and her family for our annual Family Vacation. Over the past several years we’ve spent wonderful weeks in places like Bend, Lake Tahoe, Lake Almanor, etc. (My first geocache was found with my Dad’s GPS while on a family vacation in Idaho!) This year I wanted [...] It has been a while since we posted a few pictures of the girls, so here are a few of my favorites from the last month or two. And here’s a quick update… Elizabeth is tentatively walking 10 to 12 steps at a time, and is getting more and more confident every day. It’s clear [...] Last weekend we took the girls on their first overnight trip away from home. It was an all out adventure as we loaded up, got on an airplane, and headed to Southern Illinois for a week. My Dad was born and raised in Carmi and each year over the 4th of July weekend aunts, uncles, [...] Believe it or not, our precious baby girls are now one year old! It has certainly been quite an amazing year. Carolyn and Elizabeth bring such joy and delight into our lives. Their pediatrician appointment isn’t scheduled until next week, but my best guess says they are now somewhere around quadruple their birth weight. And [...] Now that the girls are able to pull themselves up to a standing position, there’s SO much more to distract them from sleeping in their cribs! We are blessed with two generally happy and playful little girls. Unfortunately, this means they probably aren’t getting as much sleep as they really need right now. Naptime Fail Just a bunch of random little observations: Janet and I recently put our heads together to calculate how much milk she has produced since the girls have been been born. We didn’t keep exact records, but in the last 11½ months we figure that she has pumped or nursed over 15,000 fluid ounces, which translates to [...] This last weekend we did some fun things with the girls. On Saturday we walked the girls down to a nearby park and gave them their first ride on the swings. They seemed to enjoy it, I guess — I mean, they didn’t cry or look scared or anything, but they didn’t exactly go nuts [...] The girls are doing well. They’re still getting more and more mobile, but not quite crawling yet. Both have their two lower front teeth in now, and Elizabeth has one upper front tooth poking through as well. This means she has discovered how to chomp down and produce an absolutely horrible grinding noise with her [...] We got together with Dan’s family two weeks ago to celebrate both Annmarie and Cortnie’s birthdays. We received the message and picture below from Annmarie earlier this week. Audree is in Kindergarten. I was volunteering in Audree’s classroom last week, and walked by a desk where these papers with green writing were laying, obviously a St. [...] |
