Jealousy!

We told Maizy "Playmates are on the Way" but failed to mention that at first, they wouldn't play- just cry and get all the attention. I think Maizy is confused how two little guys can keep us up all night, spit up on the floor, and still get so much love. . . . not to mention they get to be in the bed with us. Where did she go wrong?

We are so lucky because she has transitioned incredibly well, trying to sneak a lick or two. But here's what I walked into one day- Gigi trying to calm two hungry little ones, and Maizy plopping herself on her Gigi's lap to steal the attention. As a good mother, I did not jump to help, but grabbed the camera to take this picture for the blog. Yes, it shows that at this time, not even the dog can live without Gigi.

One Month!

Can you believe it?! In a matter of the past two weeks, these little guys both gained two pounds. They weigh the exact same: 8 pounds 4 ounces . . . more by now!

Both are starting to lose their hair on top (oh no!) and back (thank goodness!) . . . Can you guess who is who? Take the poll. . . then you can look in our photo album to see if you are right- no cheating!



Karen and Brian brought Luke to Portland a week before his first birthday . . . We were so excited for them to meet our little ones and celebrate with our nephew.

The highlight of the weekend was cake time for Luke. He went to town on the dessert Gigi made for him- we were laughing hysterically and it either motivated him to keep going- or he just didn't care! Too cute.
Then he decided to share with his mom- not his baby cousins- thank goodness!

Up and Running!

I am talking about our blog- not our little guys!

May 15, 2008 was the big day . . . Three days later they were finally named! Tyler was "Baby A" weighing 6 lbs 2 oz and Carter ("Baby B") was 6 lbs 3 oz.

I never imagined my life was missing so much. To be a mom- it seemed so instant yet so perfect from the first cry. How much these two have brought to our lives- in such a short time. They are our world.

The Moment: This is how I was introduced to our boys. . . Travis rounded the curtain with them both in his arms. I melted- yes, funny enough- the two crying were us- not them.
