So, apparently I haven't updated since August...that was 8 months ago. Wow, so much has happened in those months. Let's see if I can catch you up.
Thanksgiving--we spent Thanksgiving in French Lick, IN with Grammy, GrampS, Uncle Kurt, Aunt Whitney, Mac, Bennett, and Bisa. We had such a fun time and it was nice to be out in the chilly fresh air. We also got to go to a Christmas House and sit on Santa's lap.
Christmas--we spent in Lancaster, SC with Mimi and Poppy. However, we aught the Norovirus and infected everyone in the family. We now refer to this as the Christmas Plague. We had fun with family, but people mostly tried to stay away and get well. Paisley got ear tubes and her adenoids removed at the end of December.
January--The twins had their 1st birthday party!! We had many family and friends come to celebrate with us. We had a Farm animal theme for their party. Boy, it sure is hard to find a theme that fits both a boy and a girl. I guess we will have to start gearing up for individual parties soon! Uncle Brad, Aunt Kristin, and Peter visited us a couple of times over the next few months. We sure do love having Peter around to play with us. He is one smart cookie!
January-March--We took a hiatus from the rest of the world...or as much as we possibly could. We kept getting sick with numerous colds and viruses and decided to stay home away from all the germs. That meant, we didn;t really ahng out iwth any friends or attend playdates or even go to church. We really missed our friends. Now that the weather has warmed up, we are back out and ready to mingle!
April--Mommy and Daddy went to Costa Rica for 6 days. The twins stayed with Grammy and GrampS. Unfortunately, the twins caught some kind of stomach bug and were sick for most of the time. Ugh! Germ, germs, germs! We are all glad to be reunited. We make regular trips to the park. We like to play on the swings and to climb up the slides. Paisley especially likes to eat the bark that covers the ground. We have been doing some art projects with paint and water. We like to play outside in a water bin. We are starting to say a few more words. We can now say: Mama, Dada, no-no, nana, and duck. Our attention spans are starting to stretch, so we can now begin reading books and watching a few short videos. The twins are so fun at this stage as their personalities are coming out in full force. Rhett is such a sweet, loving child with a good soul. He is very agreeable and does basically anything you want him to do, when you want him to do it. Paisley is another story altogether. She is her own person and thinks that she rules the roost around here. We have news for her...she does not! She is in a very clingy, whiny stage right now and loves to be held. Of course, we enjoy the extra snuggles, but hope she breaks this cycle soon. Both of the twins are walking and enjoy playing together. We have only one bottle a day (trying to break that soon) and eat normal people food. No more baby food for us! Our favorite foods are: bananas, spaghetti, meatballs,and chicken nuggets. We also just started swimming lessons. Rhett loves the water and Paisley could definitely do without it. Our lives are busy, but fulfilling.
