Lots of Time Off

So I got up one morning, walked into the kitchen where Neil was making Evelyn a bottle. This is what I was greeted with as I rounded the corner. Yep, she's in the dryer.

I don't know why we do these things. I find them incredibly funny, but I'm sure my kids will hide such pictures when they get older. That is what it looks like it is, a diaper. Neil said she looks like an old time judge with the big white wig. Adia looks very serious about it.

So Eve and Adi think it is all kinds of exciting when I brush my hair over their faces. Thats what I was doing here until Neil said to stop and he'll take a picture of Evelyn with long hair.

We finally got Adia to smile. Evelyn has been smiling for about a week now, but Adia was a little harder to entertain.

We did a SAT study on  Evelyn last night, to see if her blood oxygen was stable enough to come off oxygen. We haven't gotten the results yet but we will soon, I hope.

Holiday Fun!

After Christmas dinner Neil give in to my continual begging for him to play a card game with me. If any of you know of the game called 'Hand and Foot', yes, I got my husband to play it with me.

We no sooner got the game underway, when our party was crashed by 2 very hungry babies.

Eve took it upon herself to finish up the strawberry cider.

While Adi decided to take over the card game.

The morning after we decided to repay our party crashers, I was given the responsibility to see to it that Evelyn got what was coming to her. Lots and lots of smiles.

While Neil gave Adia the belt...

Dancing with Daddy

So Neil being the brilliant man that he is, thought one night to put on some music while we rocked our girls to sleep. Needless to say it worked out wonderfully. It melts my heart so see the way he is with our daughters and how much they love to spend time their Daddy.

Adia is working very hard to keep hers eyes open.

Eventually gives up and snuggles up to her dad.

It is so sweet how they both wanted to just lean back and look at Neil while they danced around the living room.

Works like a charm. Eve is out like a light.

The next night we tried to do them both, it didn't turn out as well so he handed one to me, and we both danced them to sleep.

Between The Holidays

So these are all pictures of stuff that happened after Thanksgiving and before Christmas. If you hadn't already noticed I spend a lot(that's putting it lightly) of time at my sister Charity's house. She so awesome about letting come over and just hang out. In fact she has a pack 'n' play set up in her front room just for Eve and Adi cause we visit that often. Anyway just after Thanksgiving I got strep, which luckily can almost never get passed on to infants. I got on antibiotics and spend most of my time sleeping on Charity's couch. Cause the last thing she needs besides having a husband and 3 kids of her own is to take care of my kids as well. But I am so grateful for her and all she does to help me.

Felicia spent some time at Charity's as well. Nate has been busy. Sydnie and Kaylee sure had a good time playing together. Enjoying the reindeer that is just the right size to ride on. 

Felicia went with me to take Eve and Adi to get their first set of RSV shots.

Sydnie strapped in between Evelyn and Adia. She was holding on to both the car seats at first but by the time I had my camera ready she had let go of one.

My little ladies lounging on the couch.

Daddy studying for finals while having a little daddy daughter time as well.

More Holiday

Also while Neil's family were in town, we had a girl's night out. Neil was still at work so he didn't help babysit.

Uncle Gary burping Adia, wishing she could just burp herself so he could go back to playing his video game.

Grandpa with Evelyn.

Christy, me and Kathy in line for the movie. We saw Twilight, I really enjoyed it.

Thanksgiving Holiday

So yes, I know Thanksgiving was a while ago but I'm still going to blog about it. Neil's family finally got the opportunity to meet Evelyn and Adia. It was so wonderful to spent so much time with them. So this is Aunty Christy(I gave her that nickname) enjoying being an aunt.

And of course no family function would be complete without a haircut night. Both Kirk and Gary got major haircuts. You should have seen how much hair I swept up off the floor.

Grandma Oler feeding Adia. I told her I expected her to be over all day of everyday that she was down so she can get in as much "grandma" time as she possibly could.

Grandpa Oler feeding Evelyn. It was so fun to watch them both enjoy being with the girls. I was so happy they were able to spend so much time down here.

Grandpa holding both of his granddaughters. He got in a lot of practice.

Obviously we also did Thanksgiving dinner which was held at my parents house but, of course I forgot my camera. 

This is a great picture. Thought you'd all enjoy it. I should be working on so many school projects it's not funny.

Well, it is kind of funny because I suggested putting on our christmas cards next to a picture of our sweet little babies:

"We poop,

We pee,

We're from heaven above"

Now THERE'S poetry.
