Easter

Easter weekend was an extremely exhausting, yet fun weekend.  Lots of traveling with three kids (a new experience for us).  Saturday was spent in North Vernon at Jason's grandma's house, then Easter morning we were at home for a little while before we headed to my parent's house for Easter with my family.  Lots of family, lots of driving, and lots of fun and laughter.  We started out a week before Easter with decorating eggs.  Lucy had SOOO much fun and Nana came over to help.  Here are a few (maybe alot) pictures of the festivities.

Nana showing Lucy how to color her eggs 

Didn't take long and she was doing it herself (her fingers were multicolored to prove it) 

So excited to stop and take a picture for Mommy

Easter with Jason's family.  The 4 older nieces and nephew.  There are 3 more with the twins and Jason's sister's little girl. 

Lucy got all kinds of princess gear.  She is definitely a girly girl. 

A gift wouldn't be complete without stickers.  That girl loves her some stickers. 

The Easter bunny visited our house.

A new baseball mit to practice with Daddy. 

Her "big" present was a Hide and Seek bunny that she wanted because her best friend Tori next door has one.

She did such a great job finding the eggs 

She had to open each one as she found them 

There's another one 

Lucy LOVED playing with Logan.  She was all over him the whole day.

We realized that we didn't have a picture of my Dad with the twins, so we got one on Easter.

Birthday Buddies

Liam and Lucas share a birthday with McKenzie, my friend Morgan's new little girl.  We decided to get the three of them together to compare their size.  McKenzie was full term, and the boys were a little more than 4 weeks early, therefore she had a little extra weight on than the boys.  It will be so much fun to watch them grow up.

Professional Newborn Pictures

We had the boys pictures taken shortly after they were born and they are up on the photographer's blog.  Meredith did a great job with the pictures and we will definitely be taking some more with her in the future.

ONE Month Old

(Liam - left, Lucas - right)

The twins are one month old today.  Time sure is flying by fast.  It's defnitely a little more hectic around our house, but we wouldn't have it any other way.  Lucas and Liam also had their one month check up today.  Lucas is now 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20.5 inches long.  Liam is now 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches long.  They are growing great.  It's hard to put percentiles on them because they are considered premature, so they don't fit on the growth charts like full term newborns.  They have until their first birthday to catch up.  In general, they are doing great.  They have a little trouble with reflux, so we have started on some medicine to help with that.  They are for the most part content babies, but with two of them, it seems like one of them always needs some kind of attention.  They are eating every 4-5 hours overnight, with a random 6 hours a couple of times.  That equates to about 3-4 hours of sleep at a time for mommy and daddy.  We are both trying to adjust to life with less sleep.  Lucy is still a great big sister.  She likes to help in any way that she can.  She still acts out here in there, mainly because she wants attention, but it's manageable.  We are truly blessed to have 3 healthy and happy children.  Life is great.

Random doses of cuteness

Just a few pictures from the past couple of weeks that I thought I would share.
