Nighty Night




I took these pictures the other night for fun. :) Oh, and P.S. for all of you who are going to give me a hard time about the bows in the hair - I glued them in and they would last for several days at a time.

2 Grandma's for 2 babies



Grandma Jones and her sister, Aunt Linda, came and stayed with us last week and boy was that NICE! I have not had that kind of a break since the babies arrived. We have had lots of visitors and lots of help but this time there were 2 extra sets of hands.....one for each baby! I can tell that the babies REALLY miss them (they want to be held a lot now :) ) We also were able to do a few touristy things which was great as Chris and I have lived here 2 years now and still have a lot to see and do. We are pictured here in front of the back of President Andrew Jackson's mansion called The Hermitage. We spent almost 3 hours there and I really enjoyed learning the history there. It just confirms that I would flunk on the "Are you smarter than a fifth grader" show. I have forgotten so much! Thanks again to Grandma and Aunt Linda....it was great to see you and thank you for everything!

Stephen's to the rescue!!





In April, Chris, Cindi and Riley all came and visited. It was wonderful to have a reunion with our friends again as they are some of our most favorite people! Cindi and Riley were able to stay with us for 11 days and helped us with the babies. Cindi pampered us with the most wonderful homemade-from-scratch meals, which have been few and far between at our house in the past few months. She also ran the Music City Half Marathon with Chris. By the end we were all having such a great time that the girls started acting like 2 and 4 year old sisters. :) We really miss Riley as she was the best pacifier-putter-inner that we have had yet! Thanks for coming guys and we can't wait to see you again soon!

A nice surprise



Last month Grandpa Mike and Ana were able to come and visit us for a short weekend. It was such a nice surprise. Ana was GREAT help with the babies and Katie was the life of the party (as usual!)
