"Oh my gosh, there are 2 babies"

I've decided having twins and a 2 year old is a lot like a circus...or a freak show. EVERYWHERE we go, people stop and stare. Then, they say, "Oh my gosh there's 2 of them!" I, of course, immediately think, "Wow, I'm so glad you can count," and then feel guilty because everyone is so nice to us when we're out with the babies. I guess they feel very sorry for us!!! I have to admit it does get pretty crazy around here, but we are settling into a routine and are SO blessed to have such good, healthy kiddos.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks...2 babies and a 2 year old has been fun!!

We celebrated Mom's 84th birthday on the 25th. Doesn't she look great? Maggie and William are her 18th and 19th great-grandchildren! Number 20, Ruby, is due in December.

Not that you can tell from this picture, but Kirby was super excited to get to play with her cousin, Georgia!


Sweet Annie and DonDon took Maggie and William for a couple of nights a couple of weeks ago. It was great for us to be able to spend time with just Kirby. We took her to the Rainforest Cafe. She loved it! Thanks for giving us a break!! Does William look like my dad or what???


Thanks for the baby legs, Pam May!!

I love this picture, because you can see how much Maggie loves Kirby already! M & W both just light up when Kirbs talks to them. She is such a good big sister!!

She loves shoes...no doubt she's my daughter!!! Notice the big girl panties, too!!!!!

Halloween was so fun this year!! Kirby decided she wanted to be a bee for Halloween, and I don't think I've ever seen a more precious bee. She LOVED dressing up and buzzing around! She's very into pretending like different animals, so this was right up her alley!

Maggie and William were good sports at the neighborhood parties! Jim was adamant that William was a bull and not a cow!

3 months and we're still here!

Maggie and William were 3 months old on Friday, and to celebrate, they both decided to start sleeping all through the night! Maggie's had this down for a couple of weeks now, but William, our high maintenance boy, enjoys Mom and Dad's company off and on from 2:30-5:30 in the morning. They have been going down for the night at 9 and sleeping until almost 7. Last night they both slept from 7:30 until 7!! I hope I haven't jinxed us by bragging on them, but we are so excited! Keep your fingers crosses that it continues!

Maggie continues to be the laid back baby of the family. She is precious and is so content 99% of the time. Her little eyes still twinkle and make her smiles melt your heart. She seems so petite, but we're not sure if that's just because we're comparing her to William who seems like such a moose (but maybe that's just because he's next to Maggie)!

William is a sweetheart, and if he weren't a twin, we'd say he was the best baby ever - he's just not quite as laid back as Mags, so he gets a bit of a bad rap! He still looks just like his big sister except with bigger cheeks, and mornings and bath time are his favorite times of the day.

You can find Kirby in the "Library"

Yes, I am pretty sure she'll love me for this one!

nothing like hanging out with nana!

Rub a dub dub...

...we love splashing in our tub!

Maggie and William LOVE bath time! They kick and splash and coo. I just love it!



There's been a lot going on the bathroom at our house...Kirby has Tee Tee'd on the potty several times this week! She has a "Dora-Tee-Tee-on-the-Pottyer" (a mini potty seat that sits on the regular seat, and yes, she came up with that name herself) We have had so much fun doing the tee tee on the potty dance and singing the tee tee on the potty song and eating m&m's. She gets really freaked out when she sits on the potty and tells us that her tee tee and hiney don't work, but when she finally goes, her face lights up and she says, "You hear that?"

Happy Friday!

Kirby was the flower girl in my cousin, Hannah's wedding over Labor Day weekend. She did great job! The wedding was so fun, and Hannah was beautiful!!
