Happy Valentine's Day!

Sleepy girl

Meg likes to stand or sit up in her crib before she falls asleep for her naps. Friday she must have still been sitting up when she finally fell asleep. It is difficult to see in the picture but she is basically slumped over on herself.

The girls sometimes arrive in poses that surprise us. Saturday afternoon they were playing the mirror game.

We're back

Well, its been quite a month since my last post. The girls have been fighting everything from Bronchiolitis to ear infections (which cleared up WITHOUT antibiotics) and I have been working way too much to think about posting at the end of the day. Some of the highlights from the past few weeks are shown below...


When we are holding the girls they seem like they are getting so BIG. This picture reminds me that they aren't that big just yet. Meg is on the move though and its only a matter of time before the girls are asking for the car keys...

Here are a few more highlights from the past month.

Katie has started sticking her tounge out when she is concentrating or focusing on something. Have you seen anything so cute before?

Meg started climbing as soon as she got the crawling thing figured out. I think this is her ballerina practice. She is pretty fearless and will hold on to things with one hand for quite a while.


Since Katie isn't quite crawling yet she likes to ride in the wagon while Meg "pushes." They like to laugh at each other while they play this way.

Pretty in Pink

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:
