Can't seem to find pics of the party but they had a good time and played with a little friend, Kiella (Key ella)

Snowy Christmas

The snow in Portland was beautiful even if it did keep us from going on Vacation.
Portland hadn't seen that much snow since 1968 and we even set some new snowfall records.

View from our front window. Mailman working through the snow.

3 foot long icicles hanging from our building.
I called tenant to ask him to break them off before they killed someone.

All of our cars were covered in ice. Here he is with the Escort parked in front of the building.



The girls didn't really like the snow all that much so we spend quite a bit of time inside playing, reading, singing and taking warm baths.
Playing



Opps



Sorry!

Video HERE of girls singing.



We hurriedly put up our
fake tree and the girls helped decorate it.

Happy New Year to all!

Out growing...

Troy was singing to the girls one morning and decided to video tape it. See it HERE.

The girls liked the song so much they've been learning to sing it themselves. Especially Trinity. See it HERE.

I'm gearing up to sell the girls infant car seats but just had to take one more pic of them for comparison.

Playing with the girls before bedtime. They love climbing on us and being rough housed.

More babies!!!

So we wanted to post more pictures and video to share with everyone. It's amazing to see the girls grow physically and congnitivley. Sharing this journey with them is truly a 'blessing'.
Enjoy.

In June, at 18 months, the girls finally got their 'upgrade' to front facing car seats.
Some day maybe they will be able to use the attached cup holder. For now they are just enjoying the ability to look forward in the car.

Here are some more pictures from the pumpkin patch outing that we took in early October. They had an animal barn that the girls really enjoyed. The girls were puzzled by the llama, something the had never seen before. Bunnies are always a favorite.

Trinity let us know she'd found 'the one' for her. We think it weighed more that she did. The girls opted for the small pumpkins that are just their size.

Summer is gone

I can't believe that April was the last time I wrote any thing here, opps! Well over the summer the girls spend lots of time at the local parks, one of which has a wading pool that drains and fills ever 15 minutes. (Fills up like a waterfall over some stones.) All the kids love it! Katrina's parents rented a unit in their building and got to spend some time with the girls over the summer. They loved visiting Granma and Granpa and playing with the toy shelf Granma kept stocked.

Trinity is about 25 lbs now and Terra is 22 lbs. At least that is what the pumpkin scale said when we went to gather our Fall pumpkins at the end of Sept, before the October rush! I think Katrina had more fun that the girls. Katrina was off in the field hunting for the perfect pumpkin and Troy was with the girls who didn't like tripping over the vines.

So here are some picture, enjoy.
