Back to work I go...
It been a great Winter Break with the girls and Cory. 18 days home was quite refreshing! It was nice to stay in my PJs until noon and watch Finding Nemo, Baby Boost, and Wonder Pets whenever I felt like it. Here are a few pictures from our break.

One more month until the big day!
Today Ava and Izzy are 11 months old. They are becoming quite independent little girls! They crack us up and make us smile daily. We are so lucky to have two healthy, smart, beautiful babies! Here's what they are up to these days...
- size 3 diapers
- eating most everything we eat (except spicy food and peanut butter of course)
- Izzy- 6 teeth, Ava- 2 teeth
- hold their own bottles
- walk around furniture
- starting to climb on things
- read, read, read! They LOVE books!
- clapping
- singing
- high fives
- "so big!"
- waving
- chattering
- yelling (when they are angry!)
- banging
- sharing
- cuddling, kissing, hugging
- words: mama, dada, ball, bottle, duck, bye bye
- knows what a puppy says
- understands "no"
- lots of "testing"

| Happy 11 Month Birthday, Izzy! |

Our first scary illness...
RSV has creeped it's way into our home over the past week. It's symptoms, ranging from severe "owie buns" to a barking cough, have taken a toll on the girls and their mama! Yesterday we didn't go to the doctor just once, we went twice. I guess that's the price you pay when you have twins. Both of the girls are in good spirits, except when it comes time to nebulize. Despite it's cute puppy dog nature, the nebulizing machine is quite terrifying. Not only for Izzy (the recipient), but Ava and Mazy too. With time, this nasty virus will pass. Until then, I'm looking into buying stock in Kleenex, Boogie Wipes, and hand sanitizer.

Two sick babies and a tree tent.

| Most of my day was filled with cuddling two sick babies. |
The rest of my day was spent
playing in our new tree tent...
fun was had by all!
Christmas Extravaganza...
We made it through 3 days of Christmas, including 5 celebrations. Our girls are troopers! It's quite amazing that there were no major melt downs! The girls managed to keep their cool after we forced them into the arms of semi-strangers (relatives that we haven't seen in awhile), deprived them of naps, kept them up hours after their 7:30 pm bedtime, and shoved pureed baby food down their throats (only because it was convenient and neater than finger food). They should really win some sort of award! Words cannot express the excitement and happiness we have all experienced over the past few days. Ava and Izzy have filled out lives with so much joy! And to say the least, we had a very merry Christmas.
