We are BACK!

Oh hi there.....remember that time when we posted that we were going to start project 366 and then you didn't hear from us for 3 months?  OOPS.  So forget project 366....it was too daunting, although we have been taking daily pictures and keeping them on Mommy's phone!  We won't make the blog all about it this year, but possibly do a monthly update?  I don't know....we'll see!

SO....here is a picture dump of the past 3 months.  Most of the time we do the same things Monday through Friday so there are a lot of random pictures of us and all of our cuteness, but a few noteworthy things we'll point out as we go along.  Here we go!


January 1 we got to meet our cousin Katie for the first time!!  January 2 we turned 36 weeks!  January 3 Anna had her helmet appointment.  January 9 we were officially famous and showed up in the UMHB Alumni Magazine.  And then I'm pretty sure anywhere from 1-4 of us were sick at all times until just a couple of weeks ago!


January 13 Daddy came home to tell us all about his day.  January 15 Dottie, Russell and Emma came to visit us!  January 29 someone told Anna that Santa wasn't coming back for 11 more Months.  January 21 was our very first babysitter ever!  Rachel let Mommy and Daddy go on a date!  January 23 Mommy and Daddy started working out (that lasted 1 day).  January 24 we had our well-visit. 



January 25th we got 5 inches of rain in 1 day!  January 26th we started eating those little rice puff things.  Januay 27th we started eating cell phones....oh wait....we've always done that.  January 29th we finally got to see water in the lake again!  January 30th Mommy lost her job (wonk wonk).


February 1 we turned 40 weeks!  February 3rd Mommy had an interview with LaQuinta (we thought the old "Stanley" parked in front was a sign - it wasn't).  February 4th we lost our Great Grammy (even though it looks like Anna sleeping with M&M's).  February 7th we went to Salado for the viewing/funeral.  Daddy took a picture of this picture that was on display at the viewing.  That is Great Grammy Anna.  We think she looks a whole lot like Great Granddaughter Anna!!  February 8 was our first morning in a hotel.  We did great!  February 10 we got new jackets for our upcoming Chicago trip.  Fits great huh?  February 11 Mommy took our Valentines Day picture!  February 12 Mommy found a new reason to love going to Lowe's.


Things slowed down a bit the 2nd half of February (thankfully!!).  We just did a lot of playing with Mommy while she was off work.  February 16 was Anna's last helmet appointment.  She's all done with that now.  YAY!  February 23 Anna was going to clear Grace's boogies for her.  And on the 24th she was checking Grace for pooies.  Such a helpful big sister!


February 27th we turned 44 weeks!


March 1 Anna helped Mommy pack for our big Chicago/Indiana trip and fell asleep in the middle of the floor!  March 2 was our first plane ride ever.  (little did we know what we were in for!!)  March 3 swimming in our hotel swimming pool.  March 4 we met Nate and Jen and their kiddos Reagen, Reese and Riley.  March 6 we saw the Great Lakes.  March 7 we came home (rough trip...very sick babies that probably had the flu - sorry to the people on our airplanes!!).  March 8 back to the babysitter while Mommy and Daddy took advantage of some quiet time!  Did you know Macaroni Grill lets you take your unfinished wine to-go??  March 10 the very first baby ear infection.  Grace got put on meds - pretty good making it to almost 11 months without an ear infection or antibiotics!  March 12 Mommy painted our toes for the first time. 


March 13 Grace learned to play the Play Station.  March 15 Anna did a little painting in the nude.  March 16 - Grace LOVES those Wubanubs!!  March 17th St. Patty's Day Pigtails!  March 19 Mommy started her new job - YAY!  March 23 Grace pulled a Troy Palomalo.



March 25 we went to Whiskey Cake for Mommy & Daddy's birthdays.  March 26 we turned 48 weeks!  March 27 we sold the dining room table. 

That about brings us up to date.  Hopefully we won't be so absent now that things are settling back into a routine.  Here are the past 3 growth pictures.




We are both officially crawling now and often one of us is the distraction while the other gets into trouble.  Perfect example would be last weekend when Grace decided to try out her teeth on Mommy while Anna removed the cover off of the outlet (which by the way - DO NOT get the kind with the little pop out buttons.  They are no problem for us to get out without hardly even trying!).  We are loving being able to chase (and corner) the cat and finding anything and everything to put into our mouths. 

So here is a little look back for you and some outtakes for getting the 48 week picture!

Happy Spring Everyone!!
