Aww this is Price at about 3 weeks old. We were trying to get a pic for their birth announcement. I thought they were so cute at the time... You know, I think everyone thinks theirs is the most beautiful baby ever. And of course, I thought ours really were! But now I can see that they were precious angels, but not exactly "cute!" They've gotten lots cuter over the last 19 months though.

Growing up so fast...

I mentioned it in the last post, but they just seem so big all of a sudden. We have been attending the FW campus of Fellowship lately and it works so much better for us. After (only) 7 weeks of going there, the kids, for the last 2 weeks now, just march right in saying "play, play, play" and then "bye bye mama" and don't even cry when we drop them off. It makes my heart glad - but only big kids can do that kind of thing! And this past week, when we picked them up, they just looked up from playing and kind of waved at us - and went right back to playing!! Also, as you can see in the picture above, Price got another haircut. He now has a big boy cut, and I love it! Charis is talking more and more - she says long sentences that you cannot understand and ends them with a word that you can understand, and she shouts that word. For instance, "blkgbjubglehandbuglaOUTSIDE". To be fair she does make some fully intelligible sentences like "It's daddy's shoes" or "I eat hummus" and I am pretty sure I have heard "I wanna see Daddy". She also follows "cold" with "brrrr" and purposely falls to her knees and says "wipeout". Price seems to have his first "crush" on Miss Jenna who runs MyGym. He cried the other day when I tried to take him from her lap during circle time! Ever since when it is circle time he sprints over to her and backs right up and plops down in her lap. He also starts saying "Jenna" when we are in the car about half way to MyGym. We have been enjoying the beautiful spring-like days meeting Adley and Nicole at the park. It is also cute seeing them as they learn the names of their friends! Such big kids!!

Goodbye to the holidays...

Well I have put off this post because it signifies the end of the holidays for me. I started back to school today so the holidays are over now, for real. After about an hour at work, I told Chris that I need to quit. Putting the babies down for their nap at 11am and saying "see you tomorrow morning!" was just about too much to handle. It was so sad! But let's focus on the positive! We had a wonderful Christmas. This one was WAY different than last year. The kids could actually enjoy it. They were very in to tearing up the wrapping paper into tiny shreds. They also quickly figured out that opening presents is pretty cool when Grandma and "Papa" Andrews brought them over more new toys than they'd ever seen! They got some fun little cars that they sit on and push, some twin babies in a twin stroller (too cute), lots of PJs, a rocking horse, and more. It was a wonderful family time and we are so blessed to have these little ones in our lives. A Christmas post would not be complete with out giving thanks to God for sending Jesus to show us how to live our lives and to save us from our sins!

John 3:16 “For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him."
