Mike's new addition

Daphne's reaction to Mike's new moustache this morning....
D: where's your beard!!!??
M: I shaved it, do you like it?
D: No! I want your beard back!

........nothing more needs to be said

And to make the last picture better.

Happy Halloween

Sorry I'm not able to post as much as I'd like. I'll be on again more one of these days. We are all doing well here! Happy Halloween!

Monday, Monday

Daphne was trying to quote Toy Story tonight and said "There's a boot in my snake!"....it's suppose to be "There's a snake in my boot!"

Some of her new favorites are...

"I looked all over for it!" regarding anything she is ever looking for

"Thanks, I looked everday all over everyday for that and didn't find it." regarding anything we find for her

When she see's any ant she says "Bye, bye, they are going to gymnastics."

Daphne says....

After I put her in her carseat she says with a big smile and surprised voice, "You didn't bonk my head!!"


As she's bargaining with me to take a little berry she picked off our bush into the car with her she says "I won't put it in my nose or mouth.". She won me over.


And after a "daddy gym" experience gone bad a couple days ago (she bit mikes back) she was climbing on him again this morning and gets off and says "I didn't bite your back!" in a very proud voice.

When Mike asked if she needed anything as he was tucking her in for the night she replied out of nowhere with "Pumpkin pie.". I wish!

This one is by far my favorite...... As Mike was putting her to bed she told him "When I get older I'll be a daddy, right now I'm a Daphne.".

Some new -isms

Oopsie-daisy

I want to take that bunny and give it a hug.

3 little monkeys

Things have been going well here, busy as usual! Here are a few highlights of the past weeks...
* The twins will be 6 months in a little over a week!!
* Violet has her two bottom teeth through the gums as of this morning, Quinn's are almost through
* Quinn's favorite thing to do is stand when you hold him
* Violet's favorite thing to do is chew on blankets and bounce in the jumper, and she can sit up by herself for a few seconds too
* They both laugh hysterically at anything Daphne is doing
* Daphne's new thing to say when we ask her to do something is "I'm sorry the baby is (crying, sleeping, hungry), I've got to go help them."

5 months

Violet and Quinn had a 5 month appointment for shots today and are doing great. Violet is 13lbs 2oz and Quinn is 16lbs 2oz.

Today on our walk as Daphne was strolling next to me looking at houses she said....
"These not Daphne's house, my house at home." Very true.... :)

Just because our kids are so cute....

Resting

Here is what Violet decided to do with the 90 degree day...

Daphne-isms

Daphne has really started saying some funny stuff, so in attempts to post more often and spread her cuteness to all I will share Daphne quotes, and cute pictures when I have the chance.


Mike took Daphne to Home Depot this weekend to get some paint brushes. He picked out a big one and a small one, which she instantly picked up and held together and said "mommy and baby brush, they're hugging!"

As she was turning off the water faucet after washing her hands, a drop off water fell, prompting here to say "look, a baby puddle."

And last one I have saved in my head is from this morning when, after taking her swimsuit off, she randomly declared "My belly buttons not dirty!"

Updated pictures

Not nearly as much time to post as I hope but here are some more pictures. Everyone is doing good and getting big. The twins will be 3 months old on Tuesday! Can't believe it's already been 3 months. We are finally able to enjoy some nice weather and have been outside more these past couple weeks.

Quick minute

It has been impossible to post lately since I have to do it from my desktop to get pictures on. Time for that is limited, as I'm sure you can imagine! Everyone is doing great, the twins are almost 8 weeks old and getting big. Daphne is a huge help and great big sister. Staying home is busy and a lot of work but I love it so far. Hope to be on more often at some point, in the meantime here are some recent pictures!

Now there are 5....

It took far too long for me to post but Violet and Quinn have arrived!
March 7th

Violet 1:20pm
6lbs 9oz 20in

Quinn 1:24pm
6lbs 6oz 20in

Everything went great and we were all home 24 hours later. I will try and update with pictures but it's a bit crazy around here!

March, ready or not....

Daphne is ready to help with the babies!!

And still getting some daddy cuddles.


Last picture of the twins before they arrive, 38 weeks.

Quick Update...

I haven't been keeping up on here lately, guess we are keeping extra busy lately! All is well and we are doing good, just doing last minute stuff for the babies to arrive in the next 4 weeks or so, and of course playing with Peanut.

We're back...

...and finally have a chance to post some pictures! Here is our living room before we opened all the presents.
Here are bean & sprout at 29 weeks in the belly.

Here is Daphne playing with her kitchen toys.

Here are Daphne and Lennon drawing with chalk. She recognizes him right away when she sees the pictures, she calls him "eenon"

Here is Daphne saying enough with the pictures, I'm eating.
