Pictures #28, #29, #30, & #31 (Yep .. 4 to catch up!) - March 28, 2010

Look at me again .. slacking!! We had a fun filled weekend with lots of sun, so the girls are really enjoying playing on the back patio.  That is now their "playroom" when the sun is out.  Mommy loads them up with SPF 50, and they have a blast outside! Here are some pics over the last few days =)

We celebrated Easter a little early with Papa and Grandma Jessica because Grandma Jessica will be on a cruise with Aunt Sharon over Easter, so here are a few pictures of the girls with their Easter gifts from Papa and Grandma Jessica =)

Pictures #26 & #27 - March 24, 2010

Two more flashbacks today ... the test that said it all .. I only wish there was space for it to say "Pregnant .. with twins!". =) And one of my most favorite ultra sound pictures of them .. around 12 weeks of pregnancy =)
P.S. I'M NOT PREGNANT!!! THIS WAS THE PREGNANCY TEST WITH THE GIRLS ... just had to clarify!! LOL

Picture #25 (well, video actually) - March 22, 2010

This is a montage I had put together awhile back of the girls with some updates today. BE ADVISED** it shows the birth of the girls (c-section) so it's a little graphic in spots! =P

Picture #24 - March 21, 2010

We took Shelby to the podiatrist on Friday and we definitely have some work to do with her feet.  Well, not just her feet, but her legs and hips too.  What I mean by that is, we had to go buy Stride Rite shoes for her and she has to wear them ALL THE TIME, except when she is sleeping.  Tomorrow morning I have to schedule another appt with the podiatrist who want to then fit her shoes with inserts.  We also have to make sure she does not sit on her knees and we have to try our hardest to not allow to her sleep on her tummy (which is her FAVORITE position to sleep).  She is flat footed and she has begun to put all her weight on her heels which have turned inward and her toes go out to the side.  If not corrected, she can go on to have leg and hip problems, so we are trying to do little things right now to never have those problems.  Here she is today showing off her new (and expensive .. geez!! Why can't they be cheaper when she'll out grow them in two months?!) shoes =)

Picture #23 - March 20, 2010

Of all the blankets Morgan got when she was a baby, her most favorite ended up being a blanket she received when we had to take her to the emergency room when she was 10 months old (for swallowing some Advil .. not a fun visit).  I remember this young volunteer walked up to us in the waiting room, and said "here you go .. and you can keep it".  It's been Morgan's "bankey" ever since =)

Picture #22 - March 19, 2010

As some of you may know, Shelby has constipation problems and she's been on a daily regiment of Miralax in her morning drink.  Well, yesterday Mike had a feeling that he may have given the cup with the Miralax in it to Morgan by mistake .. well, he was right.  This is what Morgan surprised us with this morning .. check out the present waiting for us!! LOL  At least Morgan is a healthy pooper  LOL! =P

Picture #21 - March 18, 2010

Whew!! I think I'm back on track! We are all sick in the house, so today has not been a great day,  Luckily its my Friday, so I can rest for three days.  Mike only has a scratchy throat, and the girls have runny noses.  Hopefully it doesn't turn into anything worse!
So .. for today's picture:
Another view from our deck looking at the park .. actually the new dog park! We took the dogs yesterday and they loved it!

Picture #10
Daddy went to San Francisco last weekend to go and visit an old high school friend who was in town.  Here's a view looking out at Alcatraz .. beautiful day.

WOW ... I've failed already!!

As you can see, I've already failed on this task to have one picture up a day! =( I never realized how difficult it would be to stick to this! So, I will be posting a picture for all the days we've missed and trying to be better about this from now on! =)

Picture # 9 - March 7, 2010

Our beautiful brown eyed girl, Shelby =)

Picture #8 - March 6, 2010 (late!)

Late picture #2!! Yesterday we went to Target and saw a Sit & Spin!! I remember I loved mine when I was a kid, and seeing how the girls love to get dizzy spinning with Daddy, we thought they would love this.  They are not sure how to use it just yet, as they don't realize they have to hold the top and spin, but they are slowly getting it =) Here is Shelby and Daddy just after he put it together.

Picture #7 - March 5, 2010 (late!)

As you can see, I already messed up ... I've missed two days of pics =( Got so busy and now I'm battling a sinus infection, so I haven't been up on the posts.  So .. to catch up ... here is our sweet little Maggie! She is our shi tzu from San Diego that we've had for just over 2 years now.  She is such a love bug.  She loves to sleep, sleep, and sleep some more.  Don't let this picture deceive  you - even though she's on her back with her tummy showing .. don't touch her tummy!!

Picture #6 - March 4, 2010

Today is flashback day.  Unfortunately, the camera battery is dead and my cell phone is dead, so no way to take a new picture.  But, that's not going to stop me from one picture a day .. so flashback it is!I absolutely love this picture of the girls.  They were about 9-10 months here.  I'm not sure why its one of my favorites, but I can't get over the expressions on both of their faces .. priceless.

Picture #5 - March 3, 2010

This is what we like to refer to as "the war zone".  Although its supposed to be their playroom, they never seem to want to play in it, but they do like to go in and destroy it from time to time.  =P  Time and time again I can organize things neatly in the wall bins, but as soon as the next day arrives, everything is pulled out and thrown all over the place! I have to learn that "organize" is not in their vocabulary.  =)

Picture #4 - March 2, 2010

Have you met our fishies yet? This is Lola and Lulu =) 

Picture #3 - March 1, 2010

Tonight as I was catching up on some emails, the girls were sitting next to me playing with crayons (don't tell Daddy - he only likes them to have one at a time! lol).  Shelby is in her favorite tutu from Uncle Charley and Uncle Jim that she LOVES to wear around the house! Morgan is definitely the first to talk between the two with her most favorite word to say right now - "ABBY".  Our poor dog, Abby, is always turning her head because EVERYTHING is "Abby" to Morgan right now =)
