Twiblings

Everyone has been asking me who Kate looks like. My answer has been Caroline but with dark hair and eyes. In the pictures below can you tell which is Caroline and which is Kate? I rest my case.

Santa's Visit

Santa stopped by our house for a visit! I wish I could say the kids were thrilled. They were kind of scared really.

Well Jonah seemed to like him just fine.The dogs liked him too.But Kate didn't seem quite taken with him. Maybe his beard was itchy.And Caroline. Well Caroline didn't care for poor Santa at all.Hmmmmmm. Santa's eyes seem awfully familiar!

Caroline 1 Parents 0

David and I felt like such smart parents when we figured out a way to keep the baby safe from Caroline's "love and affection."
We quickly realized however that she could still throw things in at the baby. Luckily, she chose stuffed animals.

Kate Noelle

She's here! Arrived 12/13 at 5:37pm. 6lbs 9ozs and 19ins. Very dark brown hair and dark eyes. Beautiful and already so sweet. We're all thrilled! See also http://babycentral.centralbap.com/default.asp?group=51307.

First Snow! (that stuck)

This morning it started to snow. We've had flurries a couple of times already this winter but this is the first time it actually stuck to the ground. Right away Jonah wanted to go out and play, so Caroline of course wanted to go out too. Luckily David was off work today to take her out. I was a little afraid to. I could just see myself falling on my booty, or worse on the baby. So I stayed in and snapped photos and handed out tissues as needed.

What a good daddy!This way Daddy. (She so has David wrapped around her little finger!)Flash and Chase got in on the action too. Can you see Chase? She kind of blends in with the snow. They all had a good time. And I had a good time watching.And new in baby news, I'm scheduled to be induced at 5am on December 16th if I don't go into labor on my own before then.

100th Post!!!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We did. We spent the day with David's family. They only live an hour and a half away. In case I went into labor. I didn't.

David was very excited because Caroline got to sit at the big kids' table this year. Instead of the high chair.I think all she ate were the baked beans. That girl loves baked beans!David was stuffed! Once we got home he had to lie down and watch some football. (Notice the lap top so he can check his fantasy football stats.)He did muster enough energy for us to put up our tree. We get a real tree. We put it up earlier than usual this year because I wanted to get it up before the baby comes. As you can tell by David's expression putting up a tree with a toddler around can be a little frustrating. But hey! she's only broken six ornaments so far. In addition to glass ornaments Caroline also loves the lights.As you probably guessed I haven't had the baby yet. I've made it to December! Which means Kate's middle name will be Noel. Or Noelle. We haven't decided for sure on the spelling. Any thoughts?
