Summer Vacation in Western NE













For the 4th of July weekend, we traveled to Western Nebraska. It was the twins first vacation. We stayed in Ogallala. The busy weekend consisted of a 4th of July parade and picnic, spending time with family in Oshokosh, swimming, BBQ-ing, horseback riding, fireworks, golfing, a Front Street Cowboy show, jetskiing at Lake McConaughy, more BBQ-ing with family in Brule, and Erin's first snipe hunt. We had a blast! (The above photos are Erin with her cousin Elena.)

Welcome to our Blog!



We hope you enjoy our blog. This is a continuation of our Care Page. We will attempt to update this page often and continue to share with you what is going on in our household. Feel free to check back often.

The boys are now 6 months old. Wow! A half a year has gone by so quickly but yet so slowly. It's hard to believe that only six months ago we were in the hospital NICU and struggling to get the boys to eat. We have come so far since then. We are now getting so much more sleep. Sam & Ben are now eating solid foods. I can't say they are HUGE fans, but it's growing on them. Sam is still our very particular, nosy, and rowdy one. Ben is our little laid-back, happy cuddler. It's amazing how different their personalities really are. At their 6 month check-up on Friday, their doctor was surprised by their progress. Both are the exact same length, 24 1/2 inches. Ben weighed 12 lb 12 oz and Sam weighed 12 lb 10 oz. They're still behind on the growth chart but they seem to have caught up developmentally. Both are rolling around and are very close to sitting up. We can't wait for what is to come in the next few months. Although, we might regret saying that once both boys are cruising around.

Happy Half Year Birthday!


Erin--aka Annie Oakley


Erin had her first dance recital over Father's Day weekend. She's been going to dance class & practicing her routine since December. We think she had a little stage fright, but oh well. It was still very cute!
