Emily's turn to be first

Ana has been pulling herself up and almost getting to a standing point all over the house, and Emily has not even been real interested in pulling herself up. But she has been trying to stand up just in the middle of the floor. Yesterday I went into their room to get them up from a nap, and this is what I found...Emily is the first to be standing up in her crib...Now what fun we have to look forward to!

PreToddler

Anyone who said having twin babies was super hard forget to tell us about the preToddler stage...They were easy as babies compared to this...We have two crawling little girls who get bored so quickly and get into everything that they shouldnt.  They have tons of toys but only want the wall sockets, the baby gate, the fireplace poker, the garbage can, the dog food...ect.  Now what we have in our house are two screaming girls who don't really know what they want, but know they want something else.  I think that God know what he was doing when he gave me the feeling that I should go ahead and leave my job...He knew that neither Ben or I could handle this stage on our own!!!  I about gave the girls to the Dingo family yesterday.  But called Ben in (who had been doing yard work the entire day) and told him he was done and that we were going to the park right this instant.  So we packed up the girls and headed to a park that we had heard about.  It was actually a great park and we will probably go again soon...It also saved my sanity. 

So much hair

Emily has gotten so much hair, and when we bathe her at night and then put her to bed with her hair just a tiny bit damp, this is what she wakes up with!  It is pretty cute.

Uncle Steve

I found out yesterday that my Uncle Steve (my moms brother) got hit by a pickup while riding his bike and died.   I found this to be crazy.  We all knew that his time on earth was limited due to brain cancer, so when I was told that he had died  I naturally thought it was from the cancer.  Then to find out that he had died from injures he sustained because of an accident was just... well...odd. 
I was never particularly close to Uncle Steve, as he and his family rarely came to visit and we did not go visit them either.  I know that we all have to eventually die and I am glad that he ended up losing his life while doing something he loved instead of dying of a long slow painful death from cancer. 
My heart goes out to his children and grandchildren.  I am so sorry for the loss of their father and his wife for the loss of her husband. 
May God be with my entire family while we grieve.

We have crawlers!

So on Saturday Ana finally crawled her first few crawls.  She only does a few steps at a time still because she gets to what she wants and then stops and moves arond on her belly like she does.
So once again, Ana is the first to hit a major milestone!
But to keep with tradition one day later Emily figures it out! 
So both girls are crawling!  They are still in the beggining stages and only crawl for a moment before they get back down on thier bellies and move that way!
I keep trying to put what they want just a little farther away so they actually have to crawl.

Emily is getting bored lately and we have been trying to come up with things to keep her entertained and learning.
Phew!  That is a full time job for sure and one that I have no experience with so if anyone out there has any ideas on keeping little girls busy, feel free to drop a line or call! 

After church! They are always so cute in thier little dresses!

Downward facing dog!  Emily is doing Yoga.

First little crawling steps!

Two little girls just hanging out.

Yup, I'm cute!
