So mommy is back at the pictures. We would like to tell her to get a life and that photo shoots are exhausting. Mommy took us to Toys R US today for our first shopping trip, but we did not get a toy. (Just the basics) We rode around in our stroller without a peep. (That should have deserved a toy) It was a good trip and can not wait to make it to the mall.
-----Anna and Sydney

Check out the feet!!!

If we could only take pictures without the big green pacifiers.

Anna

Sydney

THE GIRLS ARE FIVE WEEKS OLD TODAY AND STILL DOING GREAT. IT IS HARD TO REMEMBER THE BEGINNING ALREADY. BOTH OF THEM ARE MORE ALERT AND AWAKE EVERY DAY. I WENT TO LIBERTY THURSDAY MORNING WITH THE GIRLS TO GIVE DAD A FULL NIGHTS REST. THEY DID SO GOOD IN THE CAR.(I WAS NERVOUS) ON SAT. SHARA CAME OVER TO MUVIE'S TO TAKE PICTURES FOR US. IT EXHAUSTED US ALL, BUT MANY THANKS TO HER. MEMA KEPT THE GIRLS FRIDAY NIGHT FOR ME TO GET REST AND THEN AGAIN ON SAT, SO I COULD WATCH MICAH PLAY IN AN ALUMNI BASEBALL GAME AT ASC. IT WAS FUN. THANKS MEMA. WE ALSO SPENT MUCH TIME WITH MUVIE AND POPS AND VISITED PA DAVE AND NANA. AFTER ALL THE RUNNING AND VISITING WE WERE EXHAUSTED, BUT NOT TOO TIRED TO GIVE MOM AND DAD A VERY LONG NIGHT LAST NIGHT. SO MUCH FOR A SCHEDULE, BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.

ANNA IN HER SMOCKED DRESS THAT IS TOO BIG. SYDNEY WOULD NOT COOPERATE AND HER DRESS IS STILL WAY TOO BIG.

DADDY'S LITTLE ANGELS!!!

THE GIRLS ARE FOUR WEEKS OLD TODAY. TIME HAS FLOWN BY. BEFORE LONG I WILL BE BACK AT WORK AND THEY WILL BE STARTING DAYCARE. THAT IS TOO SCARY FOR ME. I AM EXCITED ABOUT RETURNING TO WORK , BUT WISH I COULD BRING THEM WITH ME. I KNOW MY PATIENTS AND CO-WORKERS WOULD NOT MIND, BUT I DO NOT THINK THE BOSS WOULD BE TOO HAPPY. (I WOULD SIT AND HOLD THEM ALL DAY WHILE MANDY AND JULIE CARRIED MY LOAD) (NOT MUCH CHANGE, HUH MANDY)
THE GIRLS ARE STILL DOING GREAT AND THE NIGHTS HAVE GOTTEN MUCH BETTER. THEY HAVE GROWN OUT OF THE PREEMIE CLOTHES, BUT NEWBORN IS STILL A LITTLE BIG SO WE HAVE TO ROLL THE SLEEVES AND LEGS. THEY ARE MORE ALERT EACH DAY AND HAVE DISCOVERED THEIR HANDS. SYDNEY LIKES TO SUCK HER FINGERS. BOTH OF THEM HAVE BIG, BEAUTIFUL SMILES. (THAT IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY) WELL ENOUGH ABOUT ME, ENJOY THE NEW PICS. WILL BE POSTING MORE ASAP.

WE WENT TO LIBERTY THIS PAST WEEKEND FOR A MUCH NEEDED VACATION FOR MOMMY AND DADDY. THEY DID REALLY GOOD TRAVELING AND WERE EXHAUSTED WHEN WE GOT BACK ON SUNDAY.

AUBREY MET HER COUSINS FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS WEEKEND. SHE DID REALLY WELL WITH THEM. SHE WAS MORE INTERESTED IN TAD THOUGH.

THEIR NEW VALENTINE T-SHIRTS FIT THEM PERFECT AND ARE PRECIOUS ON THEM. THANK YOU MRS PAIGE AND TAYLOR.

THEY WERE ACTUALLY BEING SWEET BY HOLDING HANDS AND NOT KICKING AND HITTING ONE ANOTHER.

THE GIRLS LOVE THEIR PACIFIERS.

Just for you daddy!!!

Tad loves his sisters!!

We went for out first stroll outside on Sunday in our limo stroller. The girls loved it outside. I can not wait for it to be warm and pretty so we can go out again.

Sydney was wide awake during the camo shoot, but Anna was not having anything to do with it.

The girls got a really good report from the doctor yesterday. Both are happy and healthy babies and their personalities are changing daily. Anna has the temper of the two. She loves to eat and sleep and does not like to be disturbed. I think she takes after her Aunt Jenna. (ha-ha) Sydney is more laid back and likes to look out the window,but she can let her needs be known with no problem. Right now both girls sleep great during the day and are restless at night, but thats part of it.

Sydney now weighs 5 pounds and 1 ounce and is 18 1/2 inches long.

Anna now weighs 5 pounds and 6 ounces and is 19 inces long.

SYDNEY BUG ENJOYING HER BOUNCER. (SHE DOES NOT WIEGH ENOUGH TO TURN ON THE VIBRATIONS. iT SHAKES HER TOO MUCH)
