Jesus Loves Me

Just so you know, Kirby picked out her own bow for this outfit - she was wearing her turquoise winter crocs, too - what an ensemble! I'm not so fired up that she's getting opinions about her clothes!!!

Twin Update

The babies are right on track - Maggie measured 2 lb 10 oz and William measured 2 lb 9 oz - that's almost as much baby as Kirby WHEN SHE WAS BORN! So scary that I have at least 8 more weeks to grow! They both look great and are even more precious than the last time I saw them. Next sono is in 3 weeks!

3 on Thursday

1. This was the conversation at the breakfast table Wednesday morning...
Maria: Kirby, Usted dice cuchara. (as she shows kirby the spoon)
Kirby: Cuchara!
Maria: Usted dice tenedor. (as she shows kirby the fork)
Kirby: Tenedor!
Maria: Usted dice cuchillo. (as she shows kirby the knife)
Kirby: cuchillo!
Kirby: Maria, you say knife. (as she shows maria the knife)

2. I am sad to report that Molly will be going to live with a new family. I hate it, but I know she will be better off. Poor Molls doesn't get the attention she deserves now, and that will only get worse when our family increases by 2! We will miss you, Molls :(


3. We went to a BBQ tonight at St. Luke's, where Kirby will go to school next year. She and Hadley had a blast in the petting zoo. The only problem was that she kept petting the WRONG end of the animals. Thank goodness for hand sanitizer!! Elliot was all smiles as always!!

Anniversary weekend

Yesterday was our 6 year anniversary! Where has the time gone? It's been a wonderful 6 years, and I look forward to the next 60!

While we worked on William's bedding yesterday, Kirby played in the "clouds"

While Jim kayaked the Colorado River with the dudes, Kirby and I headed to Beaumont, since I unfortunately no longer have the steam for an entire weekend alone with Kirby. We had a great weekend - I was able to relax, and Kirby was doted on as always!

When we pulled up to my parent's house, these were waiting for Kirby and me. Sweet Jim sent them to us! Aren't they gorgeous?

We (and when I say we, I mean Annie and Denise) now know why custom bedding can cost a thousand dollars. They spent Saturday measuring and cutting and sewing and ripping and resewing Maggie Claire's bedding. I, of course, supervised :) I think they did a fantastic job, and I couldn't be happier with the finished product! William's is next and will have turquoise instead of green, but I think they both need a little break before tackling his!! Thank you so much, Annie & Denise!!

William and Maggie's photo shoot

precious profiles, if I do say so myself!!!!

William (baby A)

Maggie (baby B)

Both kiddos are growing great - each weigh 1 lb 10 oz - they're right on track! Knowing that makes comments like, "what are you, about 36 weeks along?" and "wow, you got really big!" all worthwhile!!

Another 10 on Tuesday

Yes, I know the last post was 10 on Tues, too...forgive the lack of creativity!!

1. Received this email from Julie last night...

Subject: Devoted parents take girls to meet Fancy Nancy...

...and this is the response they get.


2. "Go for a ride?" Kirby and all of her animals go for lots of rides around the house in the doll bed. This and "Play kitchen?" are all we do these days!! It's so fun to see her pretend!!!


3. Only 6 months prego and I've already gotten him beat.

4. This little girl just adores her daddy - almost as much as he adores her

5. Easter bubbles were a big hit

6. Even sick, Kirby was a great egg finder!

7. Peek-a-boo!

8. Did someone say Easter party?

9. The poor chicks and ducks at church will never be the same after Kirby "loved" on them. She chased them around saying, "Ohhh, come here, come here, come here." She even picked them up a couple of times!

10. Kirby sings the ABC song all the time. She's pretty good at it, too! This is definitely not her best rendition, but it was the only one I could get without her stopping in the middle to come see the screen on the camera!!
