Pictures (and a video) of the twins

I took some pictures this afternoon at lunch time, I'm not quite as good of a photographer as Suzi is but at least you get the idea of things.

What you can't see is Charlie trying to kick his sister in the head... sure they look innocent but really they still are brother and sister.

all I have to say is awwwwwwww

Charlie surprising loves getting is picture taken... must be the side effects of eating carrots then staring into a flash.

She's really a lot happier than she looks... normally she is the one smiling like Charlie is.

I thought you would also enjoy a quick flick of them rolling around... they are on the verge of crawling, or at least Charlie is Scarlett is still content to just sit there any play with toys around her.

New Home & New State

Wow how time flies - well, our home only lasted about 3 weeks on the market. We sold our house, closed in mid July and moved up to Illinois. That about sums up a whirlwind of activity over the past three months that I have no idea how to explain all that has happened.

I've been asked many times for pictures of our new home, here's a few.

We've listed our home

It seems like a long time coming but we put our house on the market last week. We just had our first showing today and another scheduled for tomorrow. It's listed on several websites but realtor.com is the best one out there.

Luckily working for a good company like the American Heart Association I'm able to work from pretty much anywhere in the nation so relocating to Illinois so Suzi can be close to her family is not a difficult sale. Because of my position I'll have to travel back to Dallas fairly frequently so I'll be able to stay in touch with my family as well.

The twins continue to do really well. Charlie and Scarlett are sleeping very well at night and Suzi and I are starting to get more sleep. Now that the house is mostly finished we're not up doing projects after the twins fall asleep either.

FINALLY, an update

Yes, we're still alive.... sort of. We greatly underestimated what it would take once the twins came home and to say the least updating our blog has not been the highest priority. Trying to get our house ready to put on the market has not helipad much either.

On that note I should be cleaning stuff up now since I took the day off of work to do that.

I added a couple photos to the album for you to check out - yes, Charlie has now outgrown Scarlett - they are 12 lbs and 11.8 lbs respectively (or they were a week ago at the Dr.) Charlie gained 4 lbs in a month!!!

Thanks everyone for your support and prayers!

Just pictures

WE'RE HOME!

♪♪♪ We're all together again we're here, we're here.... ♪♪♪

Charlie passed his car seat test last night and the final test to be released. We were able to go pick him up this morning and were back at the house about noon. It's been really interesting having them side by side sleeping, for the first time you can really see their similarities. Also changing two diapers, making two bottles, and watching Suzi trying to figure out how to nurse both babies at the same time has been an interesting experience. I can't wait to see what the first night a home will be! (actually I can wait, I'm being really sarcastic because I would rather sleep than get up 3 times a night to feed/change./etc)

Coming Home

Finally! The twins are coming home. Scarlett is coming home this afternoon and Charles is scheduled to come home on Friday as long as he passes a couple more tests like his car seat test.

Charlie right after eating... notice the really content smirk

This is a picture of Scarlett's car seat test... she looks so small in the car seat, I just love how peaceful she looks (probably because we know it won't last)
