Giving Thanks

Luke and Libby's First Thanksgiving was so wonderful!  We were in Katy with family and my dad's parents, my Gram and Gramps, came to visit from Arizona.  My Gram had my dad and his twin brother, Uncle Jeff,  so she knows all about the twin thing.  My Gram's daughter, my aunt Julie, also had twins. Twin girls, Courtney and Alexa, so they all have experience!!

It was a very special feeling to hold these kiddos on thanksgiving- a flood of appreciation of what they mean to me and how lucky I am to be a mom.  A simple word.  But becoming "mom" is an answer to many prayers.  "Thank you Lord for these children, they are a daily reminder of your goodness and perfect plans. Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

Twinville

Our house is officially now referred to as "Twinville."  My mom, Mimi, came up with that when she was staying with us one time when they were newborns.  Its a great name to capture all things twin- 2 of most things, a little crazy at times, never a dull moment, and comical for sure!
Heres a few pics showing random things that you kids have been up to!
 
 Enjoying the fall weather and changing leaves :)


These finally fit!  I got them when we announced the gender with our family! They were attached to the bottom of the balloons and the balloons were in big boxes that they had to open- such fun!

Sound machines- traveling sound machines= survival and necessary for these twins! They love the ocean sound and it is very helpful for them in the car or out and about when they are tired or want to take a snooze.  They go out like a light!  Thank you Buy Buy Baby!!
