Happy New Year!

Happy 2011 to everyone! We sure had a busy holiday season. We flew to Chicago on December 17th with my parents and grandpa. The next day we all drove down to Indianapolis with my Aunt Karen, Uncle Matthew and Aunt Christina. On Sunday, December 19th, Liam and Olivia were baptized at Roberts Park United Methodist Church, where Uncle Ethan and Aunt Aubrey are members. It was such a special day with over 40 friends and family members in attendance. After the ceremony we had a party in honor of the babies, and later that night we celebrated Christmas with all of Nathan's family.

The rest of the stay was just as fun. Some highlights:
Introducing Liam and Olivia to friends and family.
Enjoying a "date night" while Gran watched the babies.
Reading the Polar Express to our kids for the first time.
SANTA CAME!!!
Playing in the snow for the first time.

On December 28th we drove back to Chicago, expecting to fly home in two days. However, our flight was canceled and we ended up being stuck until January 4th! Thanks Southwest! It was actually a blessing in disguise because we were able to spend more time with our Chicago family.
The only "bad" part was that I was supposed to return to work on the 3rd, and because of the delay I didn't make it in until the 5th. Oh well, after 6 months what's an extra couple of days?!

The babies did awesome on the plane, and we are happy to finally be home. Nathan is off for the month of January, so he is enjoying his time with Liam and Olivia. We are having so much fun watching them grow and learn new things. More on that to come...

Aloha!

We spent Thanksgiving week in Hawaii with my parents, Aunt Jill and Uncle Dave. We had a wonderful time. The twins did awesome on the airplane. They loved the swimming pool and even stuck their feet in the ocean. We ate a lot of great food, the boys golfed and the girls had a spa day. We also celebrated my 30th birthday and Uncle Dave's 29th. Happy birthday to us! Can't wait for our next trip!

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! The twins had so much fun this year. They delivered treats to daddy's office, had a play date with their friends Tyler and Ryan, went to a pumpkin patch, and watched daddy carve pumpkins. (Click on the pumpkin picture to make it bigger and you can see Peyton looking out the window. He looks evil!) Tonight the babies are going to help pass out candy while they watch the World Series game... Go Giants!

Thank Goodness for Insurance

Got the bill for my hospital stay to deliver the twins... without insurance we would have owed a whopping $60,000!!! With insurance we only owed $250. Thank goodness for insurance!

Fun with Friends

We were so happy that Jessica could come to visit us from Las Vegas. She and Katy have been friends since they were 4 years old! Jessica, her mom, and her grandma spoiled Liam and Olivia with tons of presents. We had a great time catching up. Our other friend Megan was also able to come over to dinner with her family one night. What fun!

Grandpa Tracy Visits

Last weekend Grandpa Tracy (Nathan's dad) came for a visit. He was so excited to meet the twins, and they had a lot of fun getting to know him. He fed a few bottles, but couldn't quite remember how to change a diaper... haha! Nathan and I were also lucky that he cooked us several great meals while he was here.
