'Tis the Season...

Griffin likes to sleep with all his animals...and no, we do not let him actually sleep like this.  I would have a mental breakdown worrying.  This was a nap.  

I moved them, and he found his thumb.  

BFF

Swinging at the park with our buddy and classmate, Thacker.

Nate's newest creation.  Finally a farmhouse style dining room table that is long and narrow to fit in our dining room.  Now we just need some modern chairs to add juxtaposition and keep it form looking too rustic.  The table is beautiful, reclaimed cypress and pine wood.

Thank goodness for Nana.  

We love tummy time on the floor.   Have I mentioned that Griffin is about to crawl any day now?  He is doing the army scoot right now.  

The babysitter.

The bouncy swingy thing.

Thanksgiving 2011.  

Christmas card photo shoot 2001 commences.  

Safety check...8 month old with Christmas lights about to be put in mouth.  Take photo asap.

And the lights are in the mouths; Nate's hand is in shot.  Bad idea.

Much safer...felt balls.

And perfect.  

Love her.

Love him.

Almost seven months and life is crazy!

I have not posted in forever; once school started, life became one crazy day after another.  But, we are all doing great and these babes are amazing.  They get cuter and cuter every day and more and more fun.  Sleeping is going well, and they are now rolling over, eating baby food and almost sitting up on their own.  Here are pics form the past few months.

we love food

Well, there is now very little free time in my life for blogging.  Maybe in like... 18 years I'll be able to have some down time again?  But here are some pictures of the past month.  The twins are beautiful and growing every day.
