Fall weather ...

Makes you have to wear a jacket and sun glasses.




How cheese-ball straight out of an 80's movie are the kids expression in these pictures?

Two things that don't go together

Lilly and a bell


It's my clean up bell that I have to say works rather effectively with Lilly and Drew except when she gets her hands on it.

26 days

I can hear the piano now

Add another letter in the mix

So we are still doing some at home letter work and letter B week was fun. But the highlight(by far) was our field trip to the bowling alley. I was laughing pretty much the entire time. If I wasn't laughing I was making sure Drew didn't drop a 10 pound ball on his foot, or Lilly wasn't putting her hands on the moving belt where the balls come back up.


We were the ONLY people there in the entire bowling alley(besides the employees). I think this worked to our advantage with two three year olds running around.


We helped them at first, but they caught on pretty quickly.



This was pretty much Drew's permanent expression while we experienced the bowling alley. He was in heaven.


Lilly and I were on the "nemo" team and here is an example of our team work and high five skills.(we did lose in the end, much to team T-rex's pleasure)



Six pound ball, but still a little challenging to hold correctly.




This is just outright disgusting at a bowling alley.


Lilly's after a roll, bowling, happy dance


Slipping during the dance

I need some love

I am considering retiring from doing this blog. Would any one out there really care? Really? I need some blog love people. Something to keep me going.

If you ever read this blog, even glance once in a while, tell me who you are blog stalker. Please reveal yourself by leaving a comment. Remember...I am an out of the closet blog stalker myself. All I need is a little love.

Thanks.....

3 years in the record books!

So how does it go? Once your kids are one, there are not babies, they are toddlers. Once they are three they are not toddlers, they are preschoolers? Where has the time gone? Let's take a look back, shall we?

Can you believe I was 5 months pregnant with twins here? Not to mention probably the last time for a long time that we will be in Hawaii. Todd wanted to show how sun burn he got on the first day of vacation.



The VERY FIRST pictures of Lilly and Drew that were taken at approx. 3:40pm on October 18, 2006. I did not take these pictures(and don't know who did actually)due to the fact that the doctors were still putting my insides back in and sewing me up. Fun times.

Lilly..this one is especially tough for us to look at, but it reminds us of how far they have come



Now today. They are strong willed, healthy, going to school, potty trained, telling stories, loving, rambunctious, sweet natured, thoughtful, sensitive, independent, full of the joy for life kids.




It was three years ago today that we were introduced to the bigness and the monkey and our lives have never been the same. We are so blessed.

An attempt at a solution

Now that it is footie jammie time...this bad boy goes on under the footie jammies. She will learn in time that she can take off the jammies to get to the "special sock," but until then,

Dear Toes,

Please separate and don't cause future problems.
Thank you for listening toes.

Sincerely,
The mother
