Ike - Boo!

Things are finally getting back to normal after Ike. Here are a few pictures of our house the day after Ike hit. Lots and lots of branches, but no big ones on our house. Mark and Ella had so much fun with their cousins while we were waiting for power to come back!

First Day of School

Mark and Ella had their first day of school last week and they did really well. They had early dismissal last week and came home exhausted since they don't get a morning nap there, but they seemed pretty happy. Ella started playing right away, and Mark followed after a few minutes. They lost it when I came to pick them up, but were much better the second day. Here are a few pics in their new backpacks. Neither was very happy that I put them on their backs since they were too heavy and they couldn't stand up. It was pretty funny!

Fun around the house

I snapped a few funny pics of Mark and Ella playing around the house. They went to the doc last week and are doing great. Ella is 50% across the board and Mark is 50% for weight and 80% for head and height. She was 20lbs 8 oz and 29 inches while Mark was 23 lbs 2 oz and 31 inches tall. And just yesterday they both started to take several steps in a row. Ella is very cautious and takes her time. Mark on the other hand just plows from one spot to the next as fast as his legs will go.
