He knows our every need!!

This week Luke and Isabel got their first cold.  On probably the day they were feeling the worst, the greatest surprise came for them!   These are new toys from Aunt Kathy!  These are not just any run of the mill toys though - they have such bright colors and will be wonderful learning tools through play.  

All the sudden, they were all smiles - and loved looking at all the colors.  

I was SO excited because Aunt Kathy also sent us a new rug.  It was like she knew what I had been thinking.  THe babies are constantly rolling over off of the blanket onto the hard wood floor.   

THANK YOU AUNT KATHY!  You truly - made our day!

Our little turle girl - Mary Isabel

"Yes - I can definately get around on this thing!"

Back to the beach!!

Our family vacation this year was just a short trip over to Seaside for us!  We live about 2 hrs. from there now, so we've already been a few times to that area.  We enjoyed the weekend...then stayed over an extra night to have the babies pictures taken.  We are using our wonderful friend and photographer Sheila Goode.  I love the way she works.  She photographed our wedding...so it's pretty neat for her to photograph Luke and Isabel!   She should have the pictures on her website this week. 

 Here's our family picture the last night.  I will try to post more later...

In case you can't tell...I'm holding Isabel and my Dad has Luke :)

   We really missed Kara, Steven, and Shelly this year, which means we'll have to do an even bigger one next year. 

I'm a twin...and I think I like it!!

We will be 5 months old on Monday!  Changing so much.. we like playing in our cribs and are more content to play together.  This morning, Luke's feet were kicking Isabel's face and she just laid there and let him kick her - I guess she's becoming more playful.  Then, he started chewing her arm, and decided she'd had enough and cried.  

They are not sitting up yet - but their backs are getting stronger.  

I will post beach pictures later today!  We are resting up from our vacation.  Why do vacations make you so tired??  

we love cousins!!!

Luke and Isabel LOVE their cousins!  Last week Hadley came to visit from Georgia.  This week, Ava and Olivia came from TN!  

Isabel and Hadley!

Hadley is 20 months and SO cute and gentle

Olivia Ann is 5 1/2 months

Do you think the twins are looking more alike or more different?

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad
