Week Five

Here are Mimi and Poppy getting ready to feast on some Rendezvous ribs, delivered to our door compliments of Pastor Jay and Eileen--thanks!! The ribs arrived complete with placemats and hats!

Here's Lily eating her first rib ever--she pronounced it delicious!! Ty had a bite of rib too, but he did not appreciate its fine culinary qualities...

We have had a great week, although a dark cloud is hanging over the house--the family help leaves tomorrow and the training wheels come off and we're on our own... but, I am ready to dig my heels in and assume my full responsibility. The babies are almost 5 weeks now and are thriving. James is a little colicky and likes to be held more than his sister, but even so he's still a good baby. I have loved having my mom here (and Todd's mom when she was here) and I am sad to be saying goodbye for now. But it's time to stand on my own two feet...sniff sniff

Ch ch changes...

The pictures here are from Ty's 2nd birthday party (Thomas themed), the babies' baths, Lily's new haircut, and our crazy morning as ambassadors for the March of Dimes March For Babies--we got up and got the babies out at 8:30 a.m. to do this when they were 2 weeks old! As for the babies, they are growing like weeds--at 4 weeks old now, Isabella weighs 9 pounds, 10 ounces, and James weighs 8 pounds, 14 ounces.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

The Endless Party...

The following photos are from the past week or so and include Easter, hunting for eggs at home, and of course all my little blessings :)The twins are two weeks old now and thriving! I took them to the lactation consultant's office today to feed and weigh the babies and they have both passed their birth weights. Isabella weighed about 7 pounds, 10 ounces and James weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces--which is AWESOME!!! We were just aiming for them to achieve their birth weight by today, so we are doing well. I wish sleeping was going as well... anyway, enjoy the photos of our adventures! Cheers!

Thank you Aunti Angela and Uncle Tony for my AWESOME fancy princess outfit! I LOVE it and have worn it daily since it arrived! Oh, and Ty also loves his new puzzle and light-up baseball!!
