Merry Christmas Eve!!

I thought I would just take a moment today to stop and reflect a teeny bit on how blessed I feel to be surrounded by family these past few days...talk about an awesome Christmas gift! I'm really not up for any more travel until well after the twinkles arrive, so having my family and Todd's family here for Christmas has just been a treasure! This has been a very low-key and relaxed season--a bit of a departure from the way we've been conducting ourselves lately. The babies' room is fully bead-boarded and the crib is in place. The back porch is awaiting windows and finishing touches. I think we are in the eye of Hurricanes James and Isabella...anyway, here are a VERY few photos from the past few days. Ty and Uncle Tim, Lily and Ty in Venice NOT seeing Santa (they posed outside Santa's display but wouldn't go in), and me--26 weeks preggo. May all of you have a blessed Christmas Eve--what a special night to anticipate the birth of the saviour of the world... cheers!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...among other things

This set of photos seems to focus mostly on Lily, but I can assure you Ty has kept busy too! Lily had her Christmas show for school last night and GG and Gran were able to come down and watch--Lily knew ALL the words to the songs and clapped at the end of each one. A week ago, I took her to see the ballet, "Cinderella," and we sat with her good friends Natalie and Vallarie. They danced during intermission and I practically had to drag her out of the theatre! She LOVED it! The photos with Ty, Lily, and Daddy are from a messy afternoon where instead of painting paper, we ended up painting mostly hands and feet. The two of them had a ball and Daddy joined in the fun when he got home from work. So far it has been a great month and I think we are all excited about Christmas this year. As for me, I am 24 1/2 weeks along and had my OB appt today and I'm measuring 33 weeks! YIKES!! The ultrasound of the babies was awesome--they are perfect and they are both the exact same size--1 pound 9 ounces each! They are about a foot long from crown to heel and moving constantly! All of their anatomy looked just as it should! Enjoy the photos--cheers!

Just a quick post...

I realized I had not written anything since my birthday and I thought I would just jot a line or two to catch up. I'm 24 1/2 weeks now and I have another appt with ultrasound on Friday--can't wait! I am extremely fatigued and I feel like my belly is going to rip open sometimes. The kiddies are great and looking forward to Christmas. Actually, that's all for now since i have to go get Ty from school. Much more later--with pictures :)
