Personalities of the Twins

Personalities come through via bath time!

Many ask what their personalities are like and last night we captured them!

Nora: Cool as a cucumber, not much bothers her....

Creighton: Fussing and a BIG sad face!


Again...calm and our sad little man (or it could be that he is in a gown!)

Winter is HERE!

or should I say SNOW is FINALLY HERE!

Today Audrey and I spent the afternoon playing in the snow!

It was perfect for building snow children.

I was getting a little tired so we only built Audrey (right), Nora (middle) and Creighton (left).

Both of us were rolling snow balls as big as ourselves.


A little exercise & preventative maintenance on the deck.







Maybe tomorrow we'll get to building mom and dad snowmen!

We're 3 weeks old today!









We are sleeping 3 - 4 hours at a time but sometimes only 2!

We are eating 3.5 oz per feeding.

We go through 96 diapers in 4 days.

We eat up a big container of formula in 4 days.

We go through 400 wipes in 2 weeks.

Most of all, we provide much cuddling time with Mom & Dad!

Audrey Is THREE!

Audrey is 3!

Audrey started her birthday celebration at Monessa's with a special party!

Monessa makes a cookie cake for her Munchkins and always asks the birthday girl/boy what they want on the cake, and a usual respond is a cartoon character. Not Audrey, she requested cupcakes and cupcakes is what she received. The link below are pictures from her special day with her friends at daycare. THANKS MONESSA!!



The next day, Saturday, Audrey officially turned three so we started the morning by waking her up with the twins and made flap jacks. Audrey is such a fan of helping me in the kitchen.





Josh was burping Nora and she was reaching for the bottle - kind of cute, she is our great eater!


That evening G&G Hochgraber came to celebrate as well as the Fosberg's to visit the twins and celebrate with us. This time Audrey simply requested cupcakes and she was able to pick them out. PINK of course - favorite color.

Couldn't resist - Audrey loves reading to the babies. Every night we have to bring at least one of them up for bedtime reading.

Explanation needed for picture below:

Often Josh and I work from home and Josh frequently places a pillow between the laptop and his lap. For her birthday we gave Audrey her own laptop and this is what she did with it. She must think laptop = pillow on lap! Super funny.

BIG sister PRIDE

Audrey - the BIG SISTER!

We have been talking about the twins for months and we couldn't be more proud of Audrey - she is so loving and gentle with them.
