Painting the Coop

A very messy project...and Ava decided to paint the stone on our house, but it was very fun for the girls.

Celebrating his 33rd

We missed Paul's real birthday this year. (He was working.) He said he didn't care and we could just pass it up, but I think every birthday should be celebrated. The girls and I prepared a special birthday treat of ice cream cookies and we sang happy birthday to our special man. Love you babe.

Haircuts

Anna and Lainie convinced me to cut their hair the other day. Anna has had her hair chopped before, but this was the first time for Lainie. I have to admit I was a little sad to see Lainie's long locks go, but I have to remind myself that hair is just an accessory and grows. They both look adorable, just too grown up now.

4 wks old

This is the latest photo of the babes, taken by my dear mother last night. I feel so lucky to have these 2.

Easter Week

The week before Easter we had a ton of family in town. We had a great week together. I've been terrible about grabbing my camera, but lucky for me my mom has snapped many a photo for our viewing pleasure.

2 weeks old

We ventured out to the babies 2 week appointment on April 2. And by "we," I mean myself and my mom. I was very excited to see how much they weighed and if they had grown much. Lily had grown 1/2 inch and 7.5 ounces, weighing in at 6 pounds 5.5 ounces and measuring 19 inches long. Owen had grown 1 1/4 inches and 5.5 ounces, weighing in at 6 pounds 4.5 ounces and measuring 20 1/4 inches long. I was very pleased to know I wasn't starving them and that they were making progress on the growth chart. I still can't believe how tiny they are though. The bottom picture was taken at night when we were being mean and trying to keep them awake for a few hours before bedtime.

The babes

Just a few shots I took of the babes at 8 days old. I was trying my darndest to get the cute naked shots, but Lily pooped everywhere and Owen peed all over me. Needless to say, I aborted the mission.
