We realized this morning that today the girls are 11 months! Say whaaaaa? I just can’t believe how fast the time goes. Is it normal that my heart still swells when I look at them? I hope that never EVER goes away. Both girls started waving ‘bye bye’ this week, which is cute on so many levels. I’ve been trying so hard to teach them to clap, but they just aren’t into it. Paisley’s separation ... [ Read More ]

Happy Friday the 13th! (emphasis on FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!) Are you experiencing an icky/wet/blustery/spring  day like we are? The girlfriends and I are happy to stay indoors on a day like today. Although I wouldn't mind going garage-saling later this afternoon, weather permitting. Only a torrential downpour will keep me away! As a side note, I had a terrifying nightmare about trying to navigate ... [ Read More ]

Yet another week has passed, and I desperately wish that I could freeze time. It just goes by so fast... that's all. I just got back from the 'Mothers of Multiples' Garage Sale in Des Moines, and I'm excited to go dig through all the new-to-us loot! Baby girls clothes are soooooo fun! ... [ Read More ]

I've been trying desperately to cherish and fully enjoy each stage of their babyhood... because it's a fleeting moment. Just a whisper. And taking as many photos and home videos is the best way to capture it and hold onto it ... [ Read More ]

I recognize that I'm blogging in the evening and that it's not characteristic of me... but the girls had their 6 month appointment late this afternoon, and I wanted to wait so I could post their stats! I should begin by saying, it was one of the most traumatic experiences I've had in my recent memory. So traumatic that I think I might remember it for years to come. See these glowing little ...

Things are pretty low-key on the homestead as we finish up all our little projects and prepare for the big holiday weekend. My sister, Anna, is here to visit for a couple days and we've been dressing up the girls in their Christmas outfits!! Anna got to experience firsthand the ins and outs of our weekly photoshoots. She was laughing at me making high pitch sounds and squealing at the babes trying ... [ Read More ]

Breaking news!! This just in! The girls are laughing! It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen or heard. Paisley laughed for the first time on Sunday, and Adelyn yesterday! It turns out they're quite ticklish! The following photo doesn't necessarily portray them using their new talent. Adelyn's been on an emotional rollercoaster today. She's even got a little tear, can you see it? Paisley on ... [ Read More ]

It's that time again... when I get to play dress-up with my little babydolls! The girls are quickly moving out of their newborn clothes, and I'm realizing that it's now or never! So we bust out cute little dresses and whatnot for our Friday Photoshoots! Here they are at 8 weeks! ... [ Read More ]

Seeing as we just got home from the hospital, it feels like the girls are just a couple days old. When in fact, today they're 3 WEEKS old!! We've started a new tradition of taking pictures every week on the sweet orange thrift-store chair. Here's their first portrait!! ... [ Read More ]
