Just some random pictures.

True love...

So often, poor Elizabeth is being told for the thousandth time to "not lay on your brother or sister" when she is giving them a hug or a kiss...it usually turns into her smothering them with her love. However, they SO adore her. Here you can see that true love...so precious...again a reminder that if they aren't crying, it is okay...would much rather her love them too much than resent them for turning her little life completely upside down!

Our silly girls...

Grace and Elizabeth continue to add spark and laughter to our family. They are great sisters to one another and I am so thankful that for the most part, they get along. This morning it warmed my heart to hear coming from the bathroom, "Would you like me to help you with your toothpaste Elizabeth?" Simple pleasures...things moms sometimes need to hear...I continue to pray that they will be forever friends with one another, watch out for one another and love one another unconditionally.

Thanksgiving

Matt's parents came for Thanksgiving. Isaac---is the MSG thing in turkey really true? See for yourself...Elizabeth enjoyed the BIG turkey leg and is still talking about how she at it ALL, wondering if we have any more?

Sophia and Isaac

Eating like a good boy! And yes, that is mayo on his face...Matt and the girls decided that it would be funny to make him look like "Santa". Hey, anything to get him extra calories I guess! Sophia is getting better with her eating as well. We are finding that maybe she just prefers to eat table food rather than baby food...that is as long as we can get her to do it without gagging!













Sophia and Isaac continue to change daily. They are cutting teeth like crazy, not sleeping well at all and ever so curious as to what is going on. We are working our way toward table food and weening them off of formula ever so SLOWLY. They are now avid "pull ourselves up on anything and everything" kind of babes. It tends to be a problem when those things move or they lose their balance. I am sure that sooner rather than later they will figure out that they can creep along and not stand in one place.

Thanksgiving Lunch at School

On Monday of Thanksgiving week, the twins and I went to have a Thanksgiving lunch with the girls at school. In one of these pictures, you will see Gracie sneaking her sister's whipped cream. I told her she was caught red handed and I had proof!:) Hope everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving!

Mexico

The village of Tulum.










The ruins...there was beach access at the ruins. Matt went swimming in his clothes as a result! It was gorgeous.



The beach





The resort sat amongst the jungle and the ruins. It had a spectacular pool as well with a killer view of the ocean and a float up bar...pretty fun!:)


Our room...the service was wonderful! One night we got chocolates, another night we walked into our room after dinner and they had some aromatherapy candles going!




The resort....Blue Tulum Resort...would highly recommend it especially in the off season!

A view from our room! Wonderful to wake up to this each morning!



Matt and I had a wonderful time in Mexico! It was beautiful weather, the resort was awesome and there were only 33 people on the entire resort!:) We swam, just enjoyed the views, went to the Mayan ruins and into Tulum a couple of times, ate lots and drank plenty! It was a wonderful time to reconnect. Thanks again Mimi and Grandpa and Grandma for watching the kiddos! som
