Happy Fourth of July!

Brendan and Lila celebrated their very first 4th of July in style! They loved being passed around between all of their family and had a blast at the beach with Papa. The babies initial reaction to the fireworks were surprise and confusion but for Brendan it soon turned to fear and he eventually went inside to be held by anyone willing to snuggle him.

Mama and her little Firecracker!

Brendan needed a little nap so KK did some Auntie rocking and cuddling.

Handsome boy - those eyes get more blue everyday!

Lila loved the fireworks - especially safe in her Daddy's arms.

Lila actually did some heavy breathing waiting for more fireworks - it was adorable.

I love this picture of Lila enjoying the fireworks and Daddy enjoying Lila!

Uncle Bob and Brendan enjoying the fireworks - this didn't last too long.

Molly was trying to calm Brendan down but the noise was too much for him!

Brendan needed his Daddy!

Everyone wanted to be a part of the twins 1st 4th of July!

I haven't blogged much lately because Meg seems to be taking lots of pictures and I thought she might want to do it herself. On the 4th of July I decided that I would keep doing it for a while longer so the babies have a nice photo account of their 1st year. Plans are underway for the babies 1st Birthday but I can't give away any of the secrets! Stay tuned to see all of the ways we celebrate the miracle of Brendan and Lila being on this earth or a year!



Just a few quick pictures!

Brendan is having some issues sleeping lately so when he does crash everyone just tends to back off and let him sleep! This is him after playing hard in auntie's yard on Friday!

Getting into trouble!

So cute!

Meg had a great Mother's Day culminating in a quick drink with Tim alone on Mother's Day night. Who reaped the benefit of that? - Auntie did! I got to give tubbies, get snuggles and then hand them off to Meg and Tim for the night!

I had to do very little to give baths - Annie and Lizzie were more than happy to do all of the hard work!

Lila - all clean and smelling fresh!

Lady Li giving auntie smiles!

Once Lila was out Lizzie decided to join Brendan - you can imagine how clean all that bath water was after all of those babies were bathed!

More pictures to come - I promise!

Happy Easter!!!!!!

Lila and Brendan had a great 1st Easter! They were the stars of the show with all of their aunties, uncles, cousins and grandparents!

They were not very cooperative for pictures but you can tell how cute they looked!

Miss Lila was so pretty in pink!

Brendan loved Papa's watch!

I love this picture - holding hands!

Everyone else wanted to get in on the action!

This was a few Fridays ago - Lila was loving hanging out with all of her toys!

Brendan was standing when we went in to get him so in typical Auntie fashion I turned around and went to grab the camera - he was not amused!

Lila and her godmama!

Auntie Beth came home for a few days at Easter and spent most of her time catching up with Lila and Brendan! Brendan even managed a few snuggles!

Auntie Beth and the twins!

Annie was getting a little jealous so she threw herself in front of the camera!

I love those sweet baby smiles for their auntie!

Brendan rarely wears clothes now that it is warm out - I just love his little belly!

His confused look!

Peter is determined to get Brendan walking so he practices with him all the time!

Look how hard his little piggy toes are straining!

Tippy Toes!

Just hanging out - no big deal!

Peter was very concerned and set up a crash site behind Brendan!

Auntie Beth getting some Lila snuggles on Easter!

I think they look alike in this picture!

Auntie Beth and her babies - Happy 1st Easter!

I'm not as good about updating any of the blogs these days so bear with me! Brendan and Lila are getting bigger everyday. Lila has 2 teeth right on the bottom and Brendan is ready to get moving any second! They love table foods like french fries, pizza crust, crackers and small pieces of fruit. They both sleep as well as can be expected considering that if one is up the other is usually disturbed! If you ask Meg they sleep for 12 hours and if you ask Tim they are both up a few times a night so I'm guessing that one parent is sleeping through the evening playtimes! They are happy babies who love to be kissed, hugged and loved on! Happy 1st Easter, Lila and Brendan! We love you!
