September

Like I said in my previous post, the hardest part is compiling, organizing and uploading the photos. Once it's uploaded, the rearranging is also a big pain. Blogger doesn't make it easy to move things around, but I think I got things where I want them to be. I did have to delete some because I got confused and couldn't bother figuring it out. Remember, I'm trying to do this all the while my kids are screaming at me to get away from the computer and come play with them.

September was a busy month for us. We went to the fair, apple picking, to the park, etc. There's so much to do with little ones. We're having a blast with them.

Such posers!

I love Luke's sly glance.

AT THE PARK

First time on the swing. Didn't know what to make of it.

Bree very doubtful.

Don't you wish you had twins to do this?

FIRST TWIN BIRTHDAY INVITE - MARISOL & FLYNN

Notice their birthday cupcakes and the kids nice & clean.

Poor cupcakes didn't stand a chance.

TRYING ON HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

August

Yea, I know I said I was going to try to keep up… though, I did have the best of intentions!

I’ve had numerous requests for an update and quick thanks to Leslie, Monica, Rachel, Renata, Amber, Pat, Lois & Lisa for your comments on my last entry. Since I’m a people pleaser, here I am sorting through photos and racking my brain for cute stories.

Here’s a thought on photos – while I love the digital age, it is a pain to keep up, store and organize pics! Just as sometimes I think it might be better not to have very much money or live in a communist society (don’t freak out, I don’t really want to), there’s something to be said about not having so many choices and having to make only limited decisions. Case in point, the thousands of pictures I’m going through. Yup, you read it right. As a first time parent, we’re clicking away like there’s no tomorrow. Except there is a tomorrow and that brings along even more pics. Not only does this make more work for me to go through, it also fills up my computer’s hard drive and slows it down. Thus resulting in a frustrated blogger who doesn’t update her blog very often. Sometimes I think our parents had it easier since they didn’t take as many. But in all honesty, I’m glad to be able to take continuous shots of the peeps even if I end up with 50 pics of them eating their first banana. Ok enough said on the matter, I know you guys just want to see the pics already.

I left off in August but will include August pics because they’re so cute (at least, IMO). In the next couple of days (again, best of intentions), I’m going to post highlights for every month. It’s my goal to be caught up by Christmas.

Before you start checking them out, I have to say how surprised I am at how much they’ve changed. They were chunkers! They still are, but as you can see they’ve slimmed out quite a bit.


Love the Jumperoo. Bree bounced herself until she passed out.





My good friend/college roommate, Tina, meeting Bree & Luke for the first time.

Be warned if you come to visit, I'll put you to work! That's their beautiful little girl, known as 'The Girl'.

Bree doesn't look real here, she looks like a doll.

Gorgeous smile, 'nuf said.


Bree's expression cracks me up. She's not happy here.

Homework!

You remember the feeling when you were in school and you had an assignment due or test to study for? That niggling reminder that kept you from having fun because you really should study. Well, that’s how I feel about the blog. It’s been ‘homework’ for me. Finally a chance to update you all, although, I don’t know how many of you are still around. If you’re reading this, please post a comment so I know whether or not to keep this up.

Ok, it’s been a long time since my last post. As you can imagine, a lot has happened. Nothing major, just everyday stuff. People always comment, ‘you must have your hands full!’ when they see me and the kids. Since I’ve never had a singleton, I don’t know any better. I know people that are just as stressed, sometimes more, with only one baby! Yes, it’s a lot of work, but I’m loving (almost) every minute of it.

Since pictures speak a thousand words, I’ll let the photos do the talking. They're not in chronological order, but the most recent pics are at the bottom. So without further ado –
