Happy Birthday

Well, Yesterday was the girls 6 month birthday! We celebrated at Chili's. Imagine all 10 of us at Chili's at 7:00. Needless to say, we waited for quite a while for a table, and then sat in the Bar. The kids were really pretty good, considering we waited almost an hour for a table. Abby is rolling over front to back when she is mad, and Izzy is really smiling and laughing. They are both fascinated by these hand things that keep moving in front of their faces. Where are they coming from? We did our part to stimulate the economy. We spent part of our incentive check on this. Thanks President Bush, we have really appreciated it! The rest will go to bills - sorry. Even with the best of cameras, it is hard to capture a moving object (Olivia) but here is the best we came up with.

Girls Growth

I stumbled across this neat growth chart online somewhere. My girls are ALMOST ON the growth chart! Look

Abby's Weight

Abby's Length

Izzy's Weight

Izzy's Length


I couldn't put their starting weights and lengths in, the program said they had to be greater than 4 pounds - guess they started out early not listening to directions.

Barf is at our house for a visit

I'm sorry to say that we have Barf at our house. Now, Barf's cousin, Spit-up has visited Abigail and Isabelle pretty much since birth. Spit-up is not quite as evil as it's cousin, Barf. Barf is bad. Barf visited me on Wednesday, Rocky and Joshua today, and who knows who it will visit next. Will it be Emily or Caleb on the soccer field tomorrow? Will it be Matthew or Olivia on the Trampoline? Barf visited Mema a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully, he won't visit her again, that would be an overstayed welcome (welcome?). Anyway - sorry Christine!

Our Big Girls

I will have to update later with pictures but as of their appointments last week, the girls weighed the same - 9 lbs 10 oz! Their lengths were the same also. They are doing well. Eating well, spitting up well, starting to have some personalities, smiling at times...

Everyone is so busy finishing up school, soccer and getting ready for Mommy to go away for her weeklong "vacation" to Camp Reynal, held at Camp John Marc.

Pictures to come soon!
