Twin Fun

A good friend of mine sent the girls some fun outfits. They don't quite understand it yet but I'm sure we will be hearing the phrase MANY times in the years to come.

Happy New Year!

Meg (left) and Katie (right) are still sick, but they had fun ringing in the New Year.

Christmas in Arizona

We had a good time on our trip, but unfortunately both girls weren't feeling well a few days after we arrived. We initially thought it might just be teething, smog (YUCK!), and/or lack of sleep... but by Christmas Eve they both had 102 degree temperatures. Things didn't get any better, and so we decided to fly home 2 days earlier than we had planned.

We didn't get to see some of our friends and do many of the things that we had planned, but hopefully we will get to on our next trip out.

Here are some pictures from our trip:

Merry Christmas!

Snow Day!

The snow started falling yesterday about 5:00 pm, and this morning the ground was covered with snow. In fact, the local school district cancelled school today. Yippee! A snow day! One of our neighbors gave several neighborhood children 'rides' in the snow, and Katie and Meg had a ball watching them out our back window.

20 degree weather doesn't stop us!

It has been so cold here, but we still got out for a walk today. Katie (left) and Meg (right) seemed to enjoy the fresh air and change of scenery. They stayed nice and warm ... I, on the other hand, froze! I think I will ask Santa for a warm hat and a face mask for Christmas.

Big Girls!

Meg and Katie can both hold their own bottles!

Walking in the Snow

Our new stroller cozies arrived yesterday, and today was the perfect day to try them out. For those of you that don't know what a stroller cozy is, it is basically like a 'sleeping bag' made for strollers. It is lined with very soft fleece and it has zippers down the sides.

It was cold and snowing lightly, but the girls stayed toasty warm. I'm glad we found a way to keep the girls warm in their stroller. I plan to continue our walks throughout the winter. The fresh air is good for all three of us!
