A Really Cute Moment

Last night Hannah and Grace were sitting on the couch watching 'Go Diego Go' (Grace's favourite show) and when I came back into the room from the kitchen they had moved into the middle of the couch and we're hugging each other while they watched the show. So Cute!

Thanks Auntie Stac


Adam and I would like to thank my sister Stacey for buying the really annoying, loud popping toy pictured above. Grace especially likes to just pick it up and hit the tile floor with it like a stick! We only have one thing to say; "What goes around comes around"...

Hannah's New Favourite Book



This is Hannah's new favourite book. She totally amazed us when she first got it because when you ask her where almost any object in the book is she can point to it. It's amazing how many words she understands even though she doesn't say them! Her favourites are "duck" and "teddy bear".

No Pictures of Mommy

For those of you who have questioned what I am doing during all these fun pictures of Adam and the girls, I'm probably folding laundry (while taking the picture). So here I am with my Gracie!

New Words


It's fitting that a post about the girls words contain a picture of them with their Daddy because all of their words seem to involve him.
They both say, "Bye, Daddy"(when he leaves); and "Daddy!!!"(when he comes home).
Grace says, "Dolly", "Dog".
Hannah says, "Oink", "Cat", "Duck".
Disclaimer: Of course their words aren't absolutely clear, but spend enough time with them and they say them often enough that you come to understand them.
Also, Hannah will point to her nose and mouth if you ask her where they are.
They're so smart!!(but I may be a little biased).

Here's your fix!

Here are the girls dressing up in Mommy's scarfs!

Spa Day

This past Saturday, I had a day at the spa with Donna and Kate. I have beautifully painted fingers and toes... Thanks Dennis!!

Addicted


Okay, so I have been terrible at updating the blog in 2007, but I blame it entirely on "Lost". If you don't know what "Lost" is I have to assume you are living on the deserted island with the characters from "Lost". It is a show that has Adam and I completely entralled! We are watching the previous seasons so we can catch up to where it is on TV. I promise everyone that once we've caught up I'll download my camera and give you your 'Hannah and Grace' fix.

Happy New Year!!!


On Christmas Day the flu reared its ugly head in our house. First Grace, then Hannah and finally me. Adam has remained amazingly untouched, which is good because someone had to get us all juice and fluff our pillows. Here are two of the 'sickees', I was not in the mood to have my picture taken.

Our Second Christmas Together



The Swedish Santa hats were a big hit!!

Technical Difficulties

Sorry about the sideways pictures on the last post. I'm not quite sure why they are rotating themselves when they are uploading.

Tree Hunting; don't worry we have a license


All dressed up AND somewhere to go...

You see, even the parents of twins can put on a tie and some make-up and act civilized. Adam and I went to my Company Party. A very nice evening out.

Pig Tails

Just cause it's cute!

CONGRATULATIONS

We would like to say a HUGE congratulations to our brother Drew who asked the wonderful person sitting beside him in this photo, Kate, to marry him and she said 'YES'! We're so excited to make Kate (hereafter, Auntie Kate) a part of our family.

Kids Christmas Party

Well, it was an interesting Kids Christmas Party for us this year. Hannah was not feeling well and spent the entire party being held by Popi. Grace on the other hand represented! She got her nose painted (pictured above), got a balloon flower from a clown, watched Mommy on the spinning ride, and screamed on Santa's knee. All in all, a full day!

Buffalo from Buffalo!!!


Here we are in Buffalo! Thanks to Deb we also have the cutting edge of technology in our hotel room and can update the blog! WOO HOO!

Special Times with Daddy (Past and Present)







A little lesson about Sharing

We got Grace and Hannah a little fold out couch to sit on and drink their juice because they are too big for the bouncy chairs. Hannah quickly decided that no one was allowed to sit on the couch with her.

Except maybe Dolly.


This is the point at which the lesson about sharing came in, and now the "Juice Couch" is communal.

Happy Hallowe'en


Everyone's been asking, "How cute were Hannah and Grace in theire Hallowe'en costumes?" Well, judge for yourself! Pretty darn cute. We didn't go out trick or treating this year. It seemed a little premature considering that they don't really walk, talk or eat candy (all requirements of Trick or Treating). So they put their costumes on an helped give other kids candy. We'd like to say an extra special "thank you" to Unkie dRew and Kate for the little pumpkins!
