Easter on "Alligator Beach"

Since our schedules don't allow much time off for the Easter holiday, we've spent the past 2 years at the beach. This year I talked my parents and my brother George into flying down and spending the weekend with us on Myrtle Beach and I think we all enjoyed ourselves. When I started planning the trip, I told the girls we could go to Alligator Adventure, a place with lots of reptiles and other exotic animals. Well they remembered me saying this and they were ready to go to "Alligator Beach!" The whole trip there they talked about alligator beach and after 3+ hours we finally made it (they actually slept most of the way!) We stayed at a nice condo on the beach and were able to let the girls play in the sand, swim, and of course, see the alligators! Before we left the girls received packages from the Indiana Easter Bunnies, and they were really excited about having glasses to wear for their trip(thanks Great Gpa and Gma!) They also got new toys, clothes, music, candy, and a few dollars each...they must have been really good this year! Overall it was a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to spending more time at the beach...a weekend was not enough. We hope everyone had a great Easter and hope you enjoy these pics from our trip!

Busy,Busy,Busy...

Hello Everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but things have been hectic around here! Not only have Andy and I been busy but I think the girls run faster and longer everyday...I'm exhausted! Daylight Savings Time has been great for longer days but it also means that the girls get to bed later every night!
In March we were able to see our friends Joe and Emily and my friend Niki. It was great to see all of them and we welcome them back again soon!

This weekend we will be heading to the beach with my parents and George...we're all ready for a weekend away! Hopefully we'll have many more pictures to share when we return. Until then, here are a few pics of the girls playing outside this weekend...if they'd only stop to look at the camera:)

"Pretty Hair"

Last night the girls let me do something unbelieveable...put their hair up! They usually hate getting their hair combed so I was so excited to see them look like little girls. They ran around saying "piggy tails" and "pretty hair". Their hair is up again this morning, so maybe we've started a trend. Here are some pics to document the moment...

Our 2 year checkup

Today I took the girls for their 2 year old checkup and they did rather well! The doctor was impressed with them and said their speech and development was excellent for their age. They are continuing to grow well and are now at the 50th percentile for height and 25th for weight. They are 34 inches tall and 25 pounds and still top the charts with their big heads...thanks Daddy! They never cried when the nurse poked their figers to check their blood count and did well with their shot...the last one until Kindergarten! Now we don't have to see the doctor again until they're 3! Since they did so well, I got them their favorite lunch, a "cheesebuger" from McDonalds..yummmy!
We have already been told that the girls are very smart for their age and they impress me daily with the new things that they learn. They love to sing songs and say their ABCs and numbers. They only need a little assistance to dress themselves these days and love to do everything on their own. They also have very good memories...somedays better than mine!
We hope everyone is doing well and I will try to update again soon. Here are some "cheese" pictures from today's lunch.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have a good day spending time with your favorite valentine.  Here is a new picture of our Valentine cuties...

We're 2 years old!!!

The girls turned 2 on Monday and we've been celebrating all week! Andy and I had to work on Monday but the girls had a great party at daycare and ate lots of good junk! Today we went to Monkey Joe's, a place with blow up houses that they could jump, slide and crawl in (I believe they were called "moonwalks" when I was little). They had a great time and especially loved going down the slides at high speed. I can't believe they're 2 already...how time flies!!! Thanks to everyone who sent gifts and well wishes to the girls, we appreciate everything!!! Hope you enjoy these pics!
