Stars and Stripes

4th of July
Wish we could have been in Minnesota to celebrate our Nana's 90th birthday!
 
What a difference a year can make!

Everyone tells you to enjoy this parenthood journey because it goes by so quickly. I admit there are times when I am perfectly ok with that! For example... when Devyn pooped in her closet after bath time, or when all four girls are screaming simultaneously for seemingly no reason at all. During those times, I'd be ok with hitting the fast forward button. But, of course, those times are few and far between. And when I look at the photos in this blog, I can see how time is flying by!

Time is such a funny thing. It seems like ages ago we spent 82 days straight visiting the girls in the hospital, and yet, it seems like just yesterday that I spent so many days snuggling them at home on the couch during my maternity leave.

Here are the annual bathtub photos of Devyn and Kinley. These are the tubs we gave them their baths in during their NICU stay.

Our baby girls are over three months old already! Brylee and Ellison are doing great! They are such wonderful babies. They are good eaters and very good sleepers, which make Mommy and Daddy very happy! They are growing like weeds! I can barely get Ellie's size 1 diapers on her anymore. And she's only been wearing the 3-month size clothing for about a month, and they're tight on her already.

Guess Who!

 Last weekend we took the girls to the Springs Preserve. The girls enjoyed the dinosaur exhibit the most.
Brylee won the staring contest, but Ellie looks like she lost her battle with the T-Rex.
 
Dino-Devyn is obsessed with coloring lately!
 
Kinley and Daddy getting a ride!

Devyn and Kinley are still taking Gymboree class on Saturday mornings. Kinley enjoys circle time where they play with bubbles, sing songs, and play with a parachute. Devyn prefers to run around the entire time and play on the equipment.

And just because I love this pic...
 
 Love her smile!
Devyn has decided that she enjoys sitting in the water table.
