So Much...

It has been a crazy couple of weeks. There are so many firsts for the twins.

"So much" talking going on. The twins have said their first words. Back on the 17th Zack said Mama. That's right...mama was his first word. Then a week later, on the 21st was Maddie's first word. She said "dada". When Zack said mama, daddy has done nothing but repeat dada in front of Maddie's face to make sure she was going to say his name (so funny).

"So much" cuteness! I have seen so many cute things that the twins have done! Grabbing and eating toes, eating incredibly messy, and even napping together so cutely. I have pictures below. They have both discovered their toes, but Maddie is able to eat her toes. During their naps Maddie always wakes up hitting, kicking, or beating her brother.

"So much" sickness. One of the reasons there have not been posts these last two weeks is sickness. Michael came down with Pink Eye. So daddy has not been allowed to get near the twins this past week. Mommy has been on her own this week with them. Mommy ended up catching a cold on Monday. So it has been a rough week. Zack caught my cold on Thursday and more than likely Maddie will be getting it soon. We are hoping for a speedy recovery for everyone.


"So much" snow. As I'm writing this we are in a snowstorm. I have lived in Eastern NC now for over 5 years and I can count the inches (before today) on one hand that I have seen. At 5am this morning we had 4 1/2 inches. At 7:30am it was up to 5 1/2". It isn't supposed to stop until after Midnight tonight. The weathermen are calling for 8-12". I'll keep updating the blog throughout the day to let you know how much we end up with. We were planning on being out of town this weekend. There were baby showers and 80th Birthday parties we were planning on attending, we apologize to everyone that we canceled on. April E. congrats (I have a baby gift I'll be sending in the mail)! Happy Birthday Carolyn! Happy Birthday Stacy!! We love you all!!!



7:30am Snow count:

UPDATE:
12pm - we are up to 7".
