Made with Love

Over the last 4 months or so, Gavin and Vivian have received a number of handmade gifts from their friends. In particular, we've been given custom adorable burp cloths and precious little blankies from Ashley, two gorgeous knitted blankets (one green and one purple) from Pam, and an extremely detailed and beautiful quilt from Kristi. We are so thankful for these three ladies spending so much of their time making something for our kids. We love these presents and will cherish them forever.

First, there are Pam's knitted wonders.

Then, there are Ashley's burp cloths and blankies.

Last, but certainly not least, our friend Kristi made Gavin and Vivian an incredibly gorgeous quilt out of various green, purple, and blue patterned fabric. It must have taken her forever!

Thanks Pam, Ashley, & Kristi!

September Photobooth Fun

Every month, Wes and I have taken the kids up to the mall for a little photo booth fun. Here are the terribly scanned photos from September 19th.

They're Hungry Hungry Hippos

Gavin and Vivian are both hungry hungry hippos. When they want to eat, they want to eat. They're very demanding. Sometimes it's like they haven't eaten in days. And if they're both hungry at the same time- watch out! How do you think they've gotten so damn chubby? They've each gained over 10lbs since birth... which was only 4 months ago. Even though they just seem to eat and eat and eat... and eat, we love our hungry hungry hippos.

She's a Siren

Vivian is a siren. Not only is she a little flirtatious from time to time, but the sounds that she makes are sometimes a bit alarm-like. When she's upset, her cry will start off quiet and then slowly increase it's volume like a siren. It's like she's sending out a warning: "I'm gonna loose it very soon if you don't come get me!" Thus, Vivi is a siren.

He's a Maniac

Gavin is a maniac. Check out this video and you'll know what we mean. It's one of his new favorite things to do...

Laughter

Gavin laughed for the first time today. It was glorious.

Gone Swimmin'

Yesterday, we took the twins to the local YMCA for the first time to go swimming. They loved it. Gavin puked a few times while we were in the pool and Vivian pooped on me in the shower after we got out of the pool, but other than that, a great time was had by all.
