Happy Friday!!!

We hope everyone enjoyed their short work week. We didn't do anything major this week.... I mean minus celebrating the Penguins going to the Stanley Cup Finals!!!!!!!!! WOHOO!!! We can't wait.. hopefully we can take back the cup this year.

Hopefully it stops raining this weekend... it has been raining every day since last Sunday and we haven't gotten to go outside and play. This weekend we may join Mommy at a BBQ with some of her high school friends... we will see if Daddy wants to take us... and next weekend we are going to go visit the NICU nurses who took care of us for 4 months.... or 123 days if you want to be specific!

There is also something else going on next week.... DADDY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!! He is turning the big 3-0! That's ancient.... well to us at least! Also Grandma and Grandpap get back from their trip and will come visit us as well to help Daddy celebrate his b-day.

That's about all that's going on here. Aunt Courtney is still pregnant and due in like 9 days... so any day now we will be introducing our little cousin to you all.... we can't wait!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

lots of news!

Hi Everyone... we will start with sad news first. Great-Grandpap T died this weekend (that's Grandpap's Da-Da)

Now on to lots of exciting news.... first of all.... last night Dada did something to our car seats and we got to face forward finally. It is so cool... we can see Mama now while she drives us around! Look at what big boys we are.....
Nate
Alex

Also in news we got big boy travel beds for when we go to the beach and visit people. We napped in them at Nana's house to try them out. We really didn't fuss as one might imagine when we got zipped in. It's basically like a big tent with an inflatable mattress to sleep on. Here are some pictures of us checking them out the day we got them.

Us checking them out

Also this week Miss Becca and Aunt Katie came to play on Sunday at Nana's house. We were fairly fussy so we don't have any good pictures to post. Oh well. Alex is pretty much a full time walker. He doesn't do long distances but he really enjoys walking everywhere... sometimes he still holds some one's hand, but it still counts!
We have had runny noses this week. We seem to be better but last night Nate didn't sleep well and Mama and Dada now have sore throats. What Fun!
That's about all for now. More later! Tomorrow we are going to Nana's house to meet Great-Great Uncle Bruce and Miss Barbara (Pop-Pop's brother and his friend)... we will definitely post pictures of that when we get a chance.
And Aunt Courtney is still very pregnant and is due in a little under 3 weeks. We cannot wait to meet our first cousin!!!!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Happy Mother's Day to all our readers who are mothers (or are moms-to-be!) Alex was so excited about Mother's Day and giving Mommy her present that we got her, so he woke up extra early! YAY HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!! So we gave her a beautiful new apron and some cards, then we all had breakfast, we had egg free waffles while Daddy made Mommy Nutella filled pancakes. Then Mommy went to the gym while we napped, then we had lunch and took a walk to the park, where we weren't in the mood to do anything like go down slides or climb things, we just wanted to go home and play... but we enjoyed being outside in our strollers. Now all we need is dinner and a bath and we will be ready for a (possibly) good nights sleep.

So here are pictures from what we got our fabulous Mommy!

A view of the roses!
We did good!

Happy Friday!

So nothing new here... except Nate figured out how to open baby jail last night, luckily Daddy caught him doing it for the first time so he didn't get too far. After we went to bed Daddy tied the gate so he can't unlatch it again... much to his annoyance this morning. We sent Mommy a dozen pink roses for Mother's Day which arrived today..... and no we won't tell you how we managed to 1) escape baby jail unnoticed 2) steal Daddy's credit card 3) order the roses 4) let no one know what we were doing. Yeah we are just THAT good!

Nothing much going on this weekend... we are going to attempt to stay awake to see the Penguins take on the Capitals.... GO PENGUINS!!!!! But Mommy and Daddy never let us have any fun. Oh well.. as long as they win we don't care!!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Happy Mother's Day to all our friend's mommies and our Godmommies!

WE DID IT!

This morning was our walk for March of Dimes..... which our team as a whole raised over $2500... $2000 of which was from what Mommy raise... wohoo!!!! We had a blast... even if it rained the whole time.. that didn't put a damper on our walk. We walked 4 miles and saw so many people and a few dogs... including Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben's puppy Sasha! Aunt Maureen, Miss Jeanette, Miss Jenee and Grandma and Grandpap all walked with Mommy and Daddy and us. We can't wait for next year's walk... maybe the weather will be better. Enjoy the photos.

Happy Friday!

What a week we have had! Well... we really haven't done anything too exciting.... well one of us has... Alex took his clothes and diapers off when we was going to bed and decided to take a big poop right in the middle of his bed and fall asleep. Mommy found him... butt up in the air sleeping like... well a baby. He was rudely awaken when we was thrown in the shower. That was Monday night. Tuesday we went to the gym to play while Mommy and Daddy worked out, then came home to nap and then Miss Lori came to play and we showed her all our neat tricks, like Alex walking more and Nate saying "No-No". Then it was off to the mall to get new monkeys... again... cause they are starting to smell funny since we like to chew on their noses... that and Alex's was sleeping butt naked on his the night before... so time for new monkeys! Wed. was Nana and Grandad's house, we have WAAAAAAY too much fun running around their basement. And yesterday was just a normal day, went to the gym in the morning to play with our friends and then Mommy has been busy working on team shirts for the big walk this weekend... speaking of which look to your left.. you should see a March of Dimes link/picture with Mommy's goal and how much she has earn... look how close she is to her goal... just under $200 away! It's not too late to donate... every dollar helps!!

So this weekend should be fun. Grandma and Grandpap are coming down tomorrow, and we are all going to watch the Penguins (YAY) take on the Capitals (BOO... sorry to all our friends who are Caps fans.... Uncle Bryant, Aunt Katie and Uncle Ben, Aunt Maureen.. etc) then Sunday we are off to Baltimore for the March for Babies walk with all of our friends. There will be about 10 adults and 4 babies in our group... and we will all be wearing matching shirts that Mommy is making... we will definitely post pictures as soon as we can.

Well off to play on this rainy Friday.... oh and Happy No Pants Day..... we may try to celebrate later when Mommy isn't looking!
