Mom's morning with the twins!

J: I have been working a 12p-8p shift this week so I have gotten to spend the mornings with Gabe and Viv. We had a couple rough weeks with Gabe who was sick with a virus that gave him high fevers and a rash, so I am so thankful I was able to have mornings free to go Dr's appts and be home to cuddle. Here are some pics of him on the mend. We are so thankful to our pediatrician and feel so blessed to have him healthy as he gave us a little scare for a week.

Gabe - The consummate dude...crawling in boxes

In our wagon!

How big is Vivienne???

Movin' & Shakin'!

Here are a couple vids of the kiddo's crawling and Viv trying to walk, but mostly just goose-stepping

Gabriel looking cute in a hat..

Our new Pony

We have named him "Tony" which is, I think the most ridiculous name for a pony :)Here are the kids on their first day with him..also as you can see in the pictures we like to eat anything we like!

A day at Maymont Park

The kids got to see all kinds of fun animals yesterday at Maymont Park including bison, goats, cows, and sea otters. Viv was a huge fan of the buffalo, and G loved the otters.

What a fun day!!!

Vivienne's first word!!!

Vivi's first word was "Duck!" She and Gabe also occasionally will say "dog" when they see Paris or Bogart and "Da Da" for me. Gabe also says "Gi Gi" and something that sounds a little like "patty cake." Catching Gabriel talking on camera has ben a bit more elusive, but stay tuned...

First trip to the beach!

Christmas Photos

We had our holiday shoot with an amazing photographer, Cathy Lachine, in Colonial Williamsburg. Gabriel was very serious that day and Viv, as always, was a firecracker!!
