Halloween......

Both :) Jack on Left Palmer on Right




Jack soooo not enjoying his Rooster outfit :(


















Can you believe the boys are 17 months already? They are getting so big and changing everyday it seems! They are such little men!! Their personalities are so different it is unbelievable! Palmer has turned into the biggest cuddle bunny!! He loves to give hugs and kisses and sit on your lap or rest his head on your shoulder! Jack also loves to give kisses but it so busy seeing everything that he does not have time to stop and give hugs! Palmer has also turned into a MAJOR Mommas boy. Which of course bothers Jeffrey to no end as Palmer was always "his baby." Of course I love it :)

The boys had their first official Halloween this year. They were too little last year and still on the monitors so we did not take them out. This year we went to about 6 houses in the neighborhood. It was cold and rainy outside but the boys had a great time marching up the steps and knocking on doors.

We had pictures made today that i am attaching. There is a picture of them in their Halloween outfits. Palmer had a great time getting his picture taken but Jack really did not want any part of it.

Goodness me.........

I am so bad about keeping up with this blog! I think about updating it all the time but never get around to it. However, I find time every day to check 3 blogs that I read!! Go figure!

Well the boys are doing great! Growing up fast! They will be 17 months on Halloween! They are both walking and running everywhere!

Their language development has really taken off! They understand just about everything we are saying (Except of course NO!) and say and repeat words we say to them. They can say more words than I think they actually know what they mean.

I will try to be a bit better with the updates!! Here are a few pictures of the boys taken a few weeks ago!

A long and over due update

What a difference a year makes! Here are the boys exactly 1 year from the following pictures when they were in the NICU. 06/03/2006

This is last week at the park in town. Jack on left and Palmer on right.



















Goodness it has been awhile since I updated!!!

The boys are doing great! Jack is walking independence when he wants to. Palmer on the other hand CAN walk but choose to crawl. We were a bit worried about their language/social skills so we had them evaluated by First Steps. The therapist said they were just mildly delayed which can be common in twins. He just suggest we talk more to them :)

Since the last update we have had their First birthday!!! I was a lot of fun! We also just recently had their "due date" party. My husband is convinced that we will be having a party for everything they do.....Hey why not :)

I keep updates more frequent!!

And so it begins.............

About 9 or so months ago a good friend of mine sent me a link to someone blog. They were going through the same health issues with their child that I was going through with mine. I was a great outlet for me to read her blog and see her son progress so well. From there I went to her links and saw other peoples blogs and then I was hooked! No turning back now!

So I got to thinking.......I should do a blog. I mean if I am spending so much time reading about other folks maybe I should start writing about my kids, husband, family, etc.

So Here it is!! TAA DAA!

About me... I am a mother to Identical twin boys that are 10 months old. They are the joy of my life. I am a nurse but I am currently staying home to take care of my kiddos. I have a wonderful husband (well most of the time :) who is also a nurse.

I guess that is about it for now.
