Yada, Yada, Yada...

Merry Christmas--Albeit Belated!

We had some fantastic visitors over the holidays; despite the babies being incredibly sick.

Here's Annie with Grandma Becky...

And Liv, more interested in a place mat she got, than almost any other gift... go figure!

And check these out--cool or what!?!?! Shoes made ESPECIALLY by Aunt Chloe. Simply too cool for words!

Tommy's are a little more straight-forward... thank goodness!

Annie spreading some holiday cheer/love:And yes, we had a white Christmas! Here they are all bundled up for their first snow experience! Liv, not sure what to think--

And Tommy decided to crawl because he wasn't certain on his feet in the snow.
And true to form--Annie, taking off!
I leave you with Rem, totally tuckered out by the holiday festivities. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Obsession!

Tommy has a serious obsession... nothing too dangerous--but something rather cute, cuddly and soft. Here's a look--essentially his "fleet" of Snuggle Bears...

Yes, some quite obviously have had their share of wear, but nonetheless, the boy LOVES to get his Snuggle on!

Turkey Time (or not)!

I do realize that I am incredibly late in getting this Thanksgiving post going, but it's been crazy and hectic around here--as always, right!?!?

Anyhow, we were fortunate enough to have my lovely Aunt Claudia and cousin Quinn here for the holiday and we had SO MUCH fun with the babes... who soaked up every ounce of attention from our guests... they were loving it. Here's Annie with Aunt Claudia:

Yep, they find a way to get ANYONE and EVERYONE to read to them, if possible.

Here they are with Quinn who was, by the way, GREAT with the babies! They flocked to him!

So, let's get to the food... the babies weren't so excited about the turkey so we turned to what else-- PB & J! They were lovin' it! Though, they did love the mashed potatoes!

Here's Liv in all her glory after her "modified" Thanksgiving feast!

And finally, what better way to top off a great meal than a trip to the playground? Gotta burn off all those Thanksgiving calories, right? Haha.
Happy VERY BELATED Thanksgiving! ;)

Fall Foliage and Fun!

Not to sound morbid or anything, but if I died tomorrow, I think I'd want to be buried in Binney Park. Haha... I just love the place. It's so beautiful--we visit there almost everyday. It's especially brilliant in the fall... take a look:

So, here's the crew on one of our daily walks around the park.

One of their favorite things to do is stake out the park's "resident" Swan. We don't get too close though, word is, he's VERY mean and will chase you down. We keep our distance.
LOVE those leaves!!!
And TOTALLY unrelated, but I had to stick in this picture of Annie's latest craze--yes, she's still into wearing other people's shoes, but she also likes to do it without a shirt on. Crazy, crazy girl.

Happy Fall!

A Look Back...

So, as a really cool birthday surprise, a family friend decided to upload some pictures of me as a baby to Facebook in honor of my birthday. I thought they'd be fun to share considering this blog is all about pictures of my babies. BTW... do you think I look like either of my girls?

That was me at 6 1/2 months!

That's me on the floor in front of my mom (with the dark hair). The other woman in the picture is Pat Boehm, who posted the pictures. Thanks Pat!
And me with my dad. He's really rockin' the sideburns, huh!?!?!

Fall Fun!

Aunt Chloe made the trip in from Phoenix to visit for the weekend so we decided to take the crew down to a local pumpkin patch (Eden Farms) for a hayride. You could say it was a nice "stress free" outing because we had one person per baby. Which makes life SO much easier! Aunt Chloe was in charge of Annie... here they are walking together:

And Grandma and Tommy...

Chloe and Liv during the hayride to the pumpkin patch...

Just look at those pumpkins!
Tommy was lost..
