Cousins!

Here is Noel with her cousin Riley. The two had a great time today at Papa John's house.

Riley was eager to hold the girls. Here she is holding Catherine. Catherine didn't even wake up to acknowledge Riley....how rude! I told Riley it was because she was doing such a terrific job.

Here's the cutest boy alive, Joshua. He's learning how to walk. He made his way around the room with his walker and, at times, with the help of his daddy or mommy. He is just too cute and too sweet for words. A very good boy.

One Month Old!

One month old and down for the count! The girls are wiped out after a day of eating, sleeping, soiling diapers, and being held. They are one month old now and are keeping their eyes open for long periods of time now...mostly in the day which is good!

Puzzle Time!!

With the recent rainy weather in Houston, Parker has spent a lot of time completing a puzzle that his Gigi and Unlce John gave him for his birthday. This wasn't an easy puzzle to do. It was 500 pieces and is 3-D. Very cool. He had help from Daddy, Grandma, Cassandra, and his little sister Noel.

Frogs!!

Matching Outfits

Here are these cute and cuddly girls side by side in their matching sleepers. This is becoming a regular site - both of their eyes are open. You can see how big these girls are getting. Almost one month old!

Missing Tooth!

Noel lost her tooth today while she was on an adventure with her grandparents. This tooth has been loose for a while and it finally came out! We're expecting a visit from the Tooth Fairy tonight but have decided we'll have to clean up Noel's room first so the T.F. doesn't hurt herself by stumbling over a barbie or two!

Sleeping in the Arms of Big Brother and Sister

A little time spent relaxing with your big sister and brother never hurt anyone. As you can see the girls are really comfy here and so are Parker and Noel.

Parker and Elizabeth

Noel Marie and Catherine. Can you tell Noel loves to hold babies?!!

Fun With Uncle Stuart and Cassandra

Stuart and Cassandra were here this past week for a visit. Parker and Noel really enjoyed their time here. Here they are at Schlitterbahn in Galveston were they played in the water all day on Monday. When looking at this picture, it's hard to tell who had more fun. The kids slept well that night! It was hard to say goodbye to them. We can't wait until their next visit.

What a Helper!

A picture is worth a thousand words and this one says it all. Noel has become my right hand here at home. At her request she has learned how to change diapers, feed babies, and calm them down when they are upset. She is a HUGE help to me! She is an excellent big sister. The little girls already adore her.

Thanks Noel!

OOH-RAH! SEMPER FI!

Here's a cute picture of these future little devil dogs. Elizabeth (left - and crying) and Catherine (right) are all decked out in their camis for their Uncle Stuart before he left today to return to Washington, D.C. These cuties are keeping the cul de sac safe for the rest of us......

Feeding Time - Double Team

Catherine (left) and Elizabeth (right) are on the same schedule - yeah!!! Of course, if there is only one adult in the house, feeding time becomes a little tricky. Here are the girls having their breakfast together for the first time on the Boppy. It was a success.

Here is what they look like after eating....Satisfaction!! They are getting too big to be in the same bassinet now!

A New Toy!

The girls are enjoying their new play-yard from the Amarillo Glenns (Greg, Kathy and kids). Elizabeth (left) and Catherine (right) were wide awake and checking out the new digs. There are two play-yards, but right now they can fit in one and love to play close to each other.

Big Brother and Big Sister

Parker and Catherine sharing a quiet moment together.

Here is big sis Noel and Catherine. She felt like being held that day. Look at the proud smile on Noel's face! She is really enjoying this big sister stuff. She didn't want to let Catherine go!

Our First Sunglasses

Elizabeth is modeling her new sunglasses. Very stylish. Don't really have a place to wear them yet, but she sure looks cute, doesn't she?

Catherine is also enjoying wearing her shades. She's already posing for the camera!

Swing Time!

We put the girls in their swings today for the first time. It was amazing...They loved it and were calm and quiet while we ate dinner. The person responsible for inventing these is probably very rich! Above is Elizabeth wide awake and really loving it.

Catherine had a harder time staying awake as you can see. That's okay. We don't mind sleeping babies here.

Nap Time

That's Catherine on the left, Elizabeth on the right just taking a nap. They love to be in the same bassinet together and always have to be touching each other. This really helps them to sleep better - not to mention how cute it makes them look.

Just Chillin' at the Crib!

Here's Catherine just relaxing in her bassinet. When she is awake, she's awake. She's very content.

I Found My Thumb!

Here is Elizabeth discovering her thumb! She was so happy once that digit made it in her mouth. Maybe we won't need a pacifier with this one.
