O' Christmas Tree...O' Christmas Tree

Kids' first trip to the Christmas Tree Farm!




"Quick guys...over here! I found it! The perfect tree! I can even put the star on it myself!"

Fun With Family

We had a great visit with my aunt and uncle and my cousins all the way from IN! Their little one just turned 1! It was great to see everyone and the kids had a blast with their cousin

Happy Birthday Babies!!

I can't believe our babies are 2!! They had a great b-day. Aunt Deb came to town to help us get ready for their party and her and Lilly became fast friends (Aunt Boddy)! She was there for their real b-day (along with Nana, Papa, and Aunt Mey-Mey). Their party was the following Sat and a lot of fun...we still are floored over the number of people that came to celebrate from so far away! Only a handful of the 40+ people that came lived in VA!! The majority traveled 2 hours or more to be here. Only downfall of the day - we have no pictures!!! We notice that it really happens a lot with twins...when mom and dad's hands are fullof baby - ther is no room for a camera!! Hopefully someone who was there will send us some pictures. Here are a few we have pre-party. One of John Andrew trying to pull a fast one...and the other...well I still can't figure that one out yet. They opened their respective presents, played with them, then immediately pitched a fit, cried and screamed wanting what the other one had!! Then back to their own presents and haven't (to this day) touched the other one's toy. The third pic...well let's just say Daddy enjoyed the lincoln logs more than the kids did!!!

Bring On The Snow Baby

Bought these from another mom who has b/g twins a bit older that JA&L. Aren't they cute???

Big Move and Halloween

We moved into the new house on the 30th...went much smoother than the last move. We had lots of help which was a god-send. Both sets of parents, Aunt Mey-Mey (Meg) and Aunt Barb & Uncle Jack. Couldn't have done it with out all of their help!!

Halloween...since we were able to get everything moved over on the 30th...the kids were able to trick-or-treat in the new neighborhood. Lots of fun! John Andrew was a bat and Lilly was a cat. They loved the costumes and hats this time around...and totally "got" the concept of candy! Lilly was still a little apprehensive and wanted Daddy to hold her...while John Andrew ran as fast as he could from house to house...only to crawl up our legs when he got to the front doors. All in all it was a great day and we even got to celebrate Grandma's birthday with her and Poppy.

Okay - Johnny taking over the blogging didn't help things much...we both are horrible bloggers!! So I will try to get everyone up to speed. More pictures than words - but let's face it - that is what everyone is looking for anyway. We know our place...John and I are chopped liver when it comes to pics of the babies (who are not babies anymore!! Spell check doesn't work - so I apologize in advance.
