Happy Birthday Renee and Leah!

Its been two crazy months! Renee turned 14 on January 30th, she went to the movies with her friends and hung out at the mall (during a huge snow storm!) That Sunday we had a family dinner at the house...of course her favorite was served, RIBS! Leah had three birthday parties to celebrate her first birthday...one in MA, one at my parents with all their friends in their complex and one at the house. Everyone had a great time! She is finally walking, she took her first official steps on January 19th...but really didnt start walking until around her first birthday. Now she is all over the place and in to everything. You can not turn your head for a second! She is the best little girl...she really knows how to keep a smile on your face ;) As far as the pregnancy, I am 19 weeks and feeling great! We go back to the Doctors on March 22nd to have an ultrasound done and to hopefully find out the sex!!!! We are very excited! Enjoy the pics!

Have you ever tried to take a picture of three one year olds sitting still? Doesn't Work!
We are out to dinner at Outback and Leah decides she was going to pick up her plate and Lick it! ...I guess it was better then throwing it on the floor?
The Girls and I took Leah for her first haircut...this is before....
She was such a good girl
...and after, it doesnt look much different, but her bangs were out of her face and the back looked much better!

Happy New Year!

We hope everyone is enjoying 2010 and had a wonderful holiday season!! We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and sister in VA. We had dinner and a nice evening of wrapping! Christmas morning we waited for Renee and Jasmine to come home and opened presents around noon. After we opened presents and received our awesome lighted shirts, we hit the road to MA! The day after Christmas, we opened presents with Jake's family. We had a wonderful visit in MA and headed back to VA on Monday night. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts, the girls, of course, received everything they could ever want ;) We had a great Holiday with friends and family and are very thankful to have so many great people in our lives!! Once we got home, we took the rest of the week off to relax :) New Years Eve we spent at the house with the girls, Jake and Renee played Family Game Night on X Box, Jasmine played on the computer and I of course slept until it was time for the ball to drop :) and was right back to bed afterwards (yep, I'm getting old!) Here are some pictures from our holiday adventures...AND Leah has an announcement to make ;)
