Sam laughs a big belly laugh!

The twins have their 12 month check-up

Sam and Ben had their 12 month check-up on December 30th. Both boys measured 28 inches long. Ben weighed in at 18lb. 1 oz. and Sam at 18 lbs even. Wow, how far they have come from that 4 1/2 pound mark only a year ago!!! Both seem to be developing a little ahead of their corrected age. However both still are below the charts for their height/weight. By next year at this time we are sure they will be all caught up, considering they eat like little piglets.

The twins score big with tons of toys for boys!

Trucks, tools, cars and a wagon--what more could a couple of little boys ask for???

Erin Loses Her First Tooth!

The tooth fairy brought her $1. That's more than the quarter that Mom & Dad got when they were kids.

The Twins Turn 1!!! Turns out they like cake.

A chocolate cupcake with one candle for each little boy.


Ben, with his sweet tooth, dives into his immediately. No hesitation.
















Sam, the one who eats dog food daily, chooses to investigate his thouroughly to decide whether it is worth tasting.

Both boys end up a complete mess. Good thing we stripped them down to their diapers.

Erin broke her collar bone

On December 17th, Erin made her first trip to the ER. She took a tumble in the living room (standing on a ball nevertheless) and broke her collar bone. The doctor recommended she wear the brace for 3 weeks. Get well soon, Erin!

Getting ready for Christmas

Erin was a sheep for her Christmas program. See her on the right. Her ears were a little crooked.

Erin built and decorated a very creative Gingerbread House for our kitchen table centerpiece.
