HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Busy Week

Last Sunday we visited my Grandma and Aunt out at my parents house and got a 4 generation picture. My grandma also just celebrated her 97th birthday on Tuesday!

Matt's friend Scott stopped by this week to see the twins, too. We weren't quite fast enough with getting Ella her bottle, so Scott was recruited to do some distracting until we were ready. :)

And I finally got a picture of Mark smiling!! He really likes his bouncy chair and I usually get some good smiles and cooing while he's in there. Ella isn't much of a talker or smiler yet, but she's getting there. She's a pro at smiling in her sleep, just not when she's awake. And she squeaks more than talks. :)

Stroller

I finally got our jogging stroller a little while ago so we decided to try it out this past weekend. Ella and Mark seemed to enjoy it and were konked out before we reached the end of the street. Of course, they woke up as soon as we took them out and would not fall asleep again.

They also got to wear their Halloween outfits that their Mimi bought them. Grandpa came for a visit too this past week and so did their Nana.

Lopez

Last week I met Judy, Jan, and Peyton for lunch at Lopez and then we went shopping for a little bit. The babies couldn't have behaved better for us at the restaurant and while we were out shopping. You can also see our school bus of a stroller.

We finally got our new camera this past week, too. So no more excuses from me about not posting more pictures. :) We caught a good pic of Ella getting some tummy time and Mark resting on Dad.

Aunt Jan and Cousin Peyton

I travelled to Austin for a baby shower for my friend Michelle last Sunday so Mimi, Aunt Jan, and cousin Peyton (he's the BIG baby in the pictures) came over to keep Matt company and to help out with the kids. Jan was nice enough to take some pics for us since our camera is still being shipped.

The kids also had their 2 month Dr visit and everything is right on track. Ella is 25% on all fronts and Mark is 25% for head size and height and 10% on weight. They are both growing fast and Mark has passed Ella by almost 1/2 a pound. We had a bit of a rough afternoon yesterday from the shots, but they seem to be much happier today.

Bad Camera

I know its been a while since I posted any pics, but our camera has decided to die. So until I get a new one (hopefully very soon) I have no new pictures. But I did take the babies to a store today that had a baby scale and found out that Mark has surpassed Ella in weight by 0.8 ounces! If you round it though, they are the same. 9 lbs 2 oz. Its hard to imagine that they are almost twice as big as they were when they were born!
