Welcome to our journey of becoming first time parents to TWINS!!! We are tired, constantly entertained, and proud people these days!! And wouldn't trade our life for anything!!
We've had these shoes forever, and I received a few comments as to why they weren't wearing shoes (because they are babies and it's summer is my response by the way!!), so I had them wear their crocs from Uncle Eric and Aunt Jenny one day to daycare. This is in the morning after getting dressed. They played with the ones on their feet, as well as the ones on eachothers' feet, while I got ready for work!!
Travis has worked for Pella for 9 years I believe, and this is his first time he was able to attend the "family" picnic they host for their employees!! We enjoyed a Omaha Royals baseball game from the Stadium club and Travis threw his arm out seeing how fast he could throw in their pitching machine. I think he topped out at 68 mph!!
The girls went with Uncle Matt, Grandma and Grandpa Moore to Concordia, KS, in July for a family reunion. Mom and dad couldn't go since they had a wedding to attend. Here's the family photo of our side that were present: G Aunt Peg, G Aunt Mike, G Uncle Jim, GG T, Grandpa, Grandma, G Uncle Scott, Cousins JR and Angie, and Uncle Matt.
...the girls play!! Dad usually gives the girls baths, but he has been working too much lately, so the girls needed a bath without him. So, mom got creative!! And they loved it!! Check Em out in the first pic, just relaxin!! And then Em again playing with the faucet shower!! She loved that too! That's also a good pic show casing their position of how they both figured out how not to slide around ( I know now...use a towel!!)
The girls and I made a trip to Sioux City this past weekend to visit some high school friends of mine. The girls played with Kim's daughter, Brooke, and Courtney's son, Talan. We didn't use to have play dates when we'd all get together!! Well, not like this anyway!! We had a good time with everyone and Grandpa and Grandma Moore!
Ella is sitting up, weighing approx. 17 lbs. She loves to suck her thumb if mom will let her. Emma is on the verge of getting up on all fours, weighing in at approx. 16lbs. 8oz. She still likes to scream, which is catching on with Ella!! They are drinking water out of their sippy's (Thanks Grandma Mary!!) They like all foods so far except peas, taking after their father!!
The girls are "helping" mom and dad outside doing yard work! They actually did help a lot being so darn good so we could actually work!! Ella in front.
Aunt Carrie came by to watch the girls last week so Travis and I could go hit some golf balls to prepare for our tournament this past weekend. Here's Aunt Carrie with Ella, naked after they ate their dinner!!
Emma's crack, this is a dad shot!! Mom wouldn't do this to you Em!! You remember that when you're a teenager!!
As I was in the kitchen making dinner and dad was showering, I came back to find them "playing" with Ella eating Emma's face. Of course, by the time I got the camera out, she was sidetracked!! But here is the positioning!!
