The Flower Girls!

Gabby and Ellie were fantastic flower girls last weekend for Auntie Marta and Uncle Devin's wedding. The wedding was right during Ellie's nap-time, but she stepped up to the challenge, and both girls were stupendous. They walked right down the aisle as they were supposed to (barely bothered by the fact that the ring bearer ahead of them gave up only 4 pews down).

They stayed nice and quiet during the ceremony and were extremely patient for the 90 minutes afterward that we stayed in the church for formal pictures.

Enjoy the pics!

Playing in the Snow

We're up in Massachusetts for Marta's Wedding. Thought we'd post some photos of the big girls in the snow!

Just a picture

Just a cute picture of the babies from a couple weeks ago. Enjoy!

It was a good day

Today was a good day. We both showered, in the morning. We all ate breakfast, together, at the table. We hustled and got out the door in time for portraits, with Chris too. See photos below. We all napped. Awesome. Later, while I had the girls with me at Gabby's last soccer game of the season, Basia was doing an HEB run, and the babies cooperarted with her. Then tonight, we had a frined come by and help us put the kids to bed. And we went out on a date/shopping trip.

It was a good day. I like good days.

Pictures from portraits, and soccer.

Enjoy!

Ellie doesn't poop on princesses

Let me explain. Ellie has some pullups and panties with princesses on them. She's pretty much potty-trained now. It wasn't much of a production. We didn't push it. She was ready. What a big girl!

Gabby's 1st Soccer Game

Last Sunday, Gabby had her first organized sports activity - Soccer! She had a great time, and played really well for someone who's never played or watched a game. There were a few injuries, though. She got a headbutt with a boy on the field, and after the game she tumbled down the big hill... It's at the end of the photo album. The tumble gave her some burrs in her clothes. We ended up driving home with Gabby in her panties, shinguards and sneakers...quite the event!
