party time!

Macie and Caroline try out the see-saw at twin friends' Milo and Levi's 1st birthday party!!!! I wish we'd gotten more pictures, but we spent our time chasing the girls, who were on the go - trying out all the slides, bouncy toys, parachutes, etc.

The POD arrives

This weekend, we received some new used furniture (sent from Mike's dad) in a big POD! And, just in time - look how Caroline had learned how to climb our old desk?


Caroline and dad check out the new couch (and mom's shades!)


The POD being unloaded into the garage....

Daddy Camp pictures

As promised, here are a couple of pictures from when Mike had the girls on his own for a WEEK! (with three days help from our nanny and Ama) These are pictures that Mike sent me over the phone - what they lack in quality, they make up for in hilarious-ness :)

PS - The black eye was not a big deal - Ama said that Macie just lost her balance at the library and fell into a table, which scratched her "cheek" - she only cried for a minute and it wasn't until that night that the black eye really filled in!

C and M on the merry-go-round for the first time ever!
















Macie incarcerated with a black eye -- just kidding, but doesn't this look like a mugshot?
A little shiner's not going to keep me from having fun!

7 to 5

Macie showed me her 7th tooth today (no wonder she was so grumpy this morning!) and Caroline got her 5th tooth a couple of days ago. Where did they get this competitive streak?!?!

Go Macie!

Look at Macie catching up! That is, until Caroline decides she wants to play, too. Nice mohawk, C!

Super Secret "Napping" Footage

11 months OLD!

The girls turned 11months old on the 29th of January (while I was gone skiing on my annual father-dauther trip) and they had some bruises to show for all those months! Macie has a nice shiner right now and they both have been trying to leave bite marks on each other! They are getting more vocal and have added "dad" to their repertoire to make their intentional word total = 2 (in addition to "dog" of course). I guess this means we better start planning their pseudo birthday party coming up at the end of February (because, obviously, there's no 29th of February this year)! We can't believe they're sooooo old! Pictures and video from last week (aka "daddy camp") coming soon....
