28 years later

This is Wesley and Dick in 1980 and Wesley and Mahlon in 2008. Little Wesley and Mahlon are wearing the same outfit. We had a photo shoot yesterday after church...there are more pictures to follow. I have to wait until Wesley can scan the old pictures into the computer.

Who's Who??

This is an outfit that Wesley wore when he was a few weeks old. It took Mahlon 10 weeks to reach 10 lbs so he could wear it, but isn't he cute. He looks more and more like Wesley everyday.

A Day in the Country

Chapel of the Cross had their annual Day in the Country today. After a pretty good nights sleep we thought we would give it a try...after all it is only 1 mile from our house! We dressed the babies in their Halloween onsies. Mahlon was "a little corney" candy corn and Sara Beth was "bewitching." We had a great time! We had a picnic with the Shorter family under a tree and fed the babies and changed Mahlon out of his Halloween outfit due to an explosive diaper(again I have got to remember a change of clothes for myself)I got to do my favorite thing...shop! And we met all kinds of people...the babies were the center of attention. Everyone we met thought we were crazy being out with 9 1/2 week old twins. I just told them I was one determined mother! We were lucky...the babies slept 90% of time. We really had a wonderful day. It is so nice to feel somewhat normal again!

You are my Sunshine

Friday afternoon was the perfect day for sitting on our patio. We gave the babies their bottles and then Sara Beth decided to soak up some rays in her daddy's sunglasses! Bless her heart, she has the same fair skin as her Aunt Lani...I guess they can sit under the umbrella together on our beach trips!

A new babysitter

This morning AnnaBelle babysat Sara Beth while I put on my make-up. They had fun playing with the little animals. And Sara Beth even reached out to AnnaBelle to try to pet her. I wish I had it on video, but this is a cute picture.

Sweet Friends

I just love how sweet Mahlon and Sara Beth are to each other. They love to know that the other one is right there. Gran took this cute picture while she was visiting this week.

We love fall weather

The weather has been so great this week so it has been easy to get out and exercise. Yesterday afternoon we went for a long walk with the jog stroller. The babies are still a little small for it but we made it work.

Who's bed is it anyway??

Last night I went in the nursery to put Mahlon to bed and a double surprise was in his crib. These cats think everything baby belongs to them!! Talk about double trouble!

How Mommy Naps

Since I have been spending more of my days alone with the babies I have had to get creative with when and how I will to get a nap. This is one way...both babies are in the bed with me on incline positioners. As you can see one is wide awake and the other is half asleep. My other trick is putting them in their car seats on the bed! You gotta do what works!!

2 month birthday

I can't believe the babies are 2 months old!!They are growing and changing so fast! How sad...I want them to stay this size (if they would only sleep through the night!)
We have had a busy week this week without Cheri, but I have had some wonderul help. Thanks so much Nancy, Diane, Jennifer, Suzy, June and Kim...I wouldn't have made it without your help and yummy food! We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and Mahlon and Sara Beth have been extra spoiled with tons of hugs and kisses...I am not sure if they will be able to fall asleep without someone holding them!! This means I need a 3 am crew to show up and rock babies back to sleep!! HA!
Gran is here for a few days too so she'll have her share of late night feedings and rocking!
Doc came to visit today too...he brought us magical diaper rash ointment for little Mahlon's booty. My mom swears by it. It worked on me and I turned out Ok... right?!
I had a lot of fun visiting with everyone and having grown up time!
