Graham's poutty face

Please excuse our harmonizing, we know we are not ready for American Idol.  This was just too funny not to share!

note: Graham does not do this when Tim is singing solo or Heather is singing solo, and has not done it since.  :)

First Feeding Video

Not to be outdone by the pictures in the post below - here is a consolidated video of the babies first semi-solid feeding.  This is also Tim's first attempt at some basic video editing.  We hope you enjoy.  : )

Playtime!

work hard, play harder

silly Mommy, she's so fun!

tickles my tummy!

Daddy, can I borrow the car?

Hungry Hungry Hippos

This has been a busy week for us!  We've been getting back on track from our vacation to Colorado (pictures to come soon), started getting ready for Mommy to go back to work- school starts very soon- and trying to enjoy the dwindling summer. 

Monday was our first official solid food.  We started out with rice cereal, kids stripped down to their diapers.  We put them in the bumpo chairs on the kitchen counter and they dug in.  We couldn't feed them fast enough!  When we didn't have the spoon in their mouths they were trying to suck on their hands.  Needless to say, we got cereal all over the place.  Good thing it was bath time.  Since that first day, we've gotten into a routine.  Graham really likes it, he can't get enough!  Kennedy isn't so sure, she still likes her bottle better. 

We also may have a couple of teethers on our hands.  They love to gnaw on anything they can get into their mouths... including their hands! 

A Kennedy Surprise

Its a good thing daddy decided to take a vacation day today - to spend time with mommy and the babies after they were gone for 10 days in Colorado.  This morning Kennedy graced us with her first laugh- it's such a sweet sound! 

Daddy's Favorite Pictures - So far

These are daddy's favorite pictures of the babies - so far.  They both happen to be of them laying on their boppy pillows.

Graham watchin the Cards game before bedtime. Doesn't he look so much older?  (4 months)

Kennedy showing off for the camera.  Super cute...  (3 months)

A Year Ago

Dear Kennedy and Graham,

A year ago we were filled with hope, fear, anticipation and love.  A year ago, I gave myself a shot that hurt my skin but filled my heart, and it started the whole process that gave us you.  A year ago we put all our eggs in one basket- literally!  I walked into the doctor's office and saw the beautiful embryos that would become you.  I have loved you from that moment.  And when we left the doctor's office (me in a wheel chair and on strict bed rest, Daddy driving very carefully) I began the process of growing my two beautiful babies.  My body held you for the first time and I took very good care of you!  We called you Hope and Faith, because that is what it was all about.  We hoped for you like nobody has ever hoped before, and we put all our faith in God and our doctor.  AND THEN THERE WAS YOU!  I will never forget the day I got the news that we were pregnant, and I just KNEW there were two of you. 

Since a year ago we have lived our lives for you.  Because there is nothing better in the whole world for Daddy and me than loving you.

Love,
Mommy
