Halloween 2007

Dressed the babies up as "Peas in a Pod" - how appropriate!

Baby dedication

We participated in the baby dedication ceremony at Fellowship Church October 7, 2007. Several of the families from our hometeam participated as well. It was really neat to be able to share this special day with these close friends.

graduating to the crib

By September, the babies had outgrown the bassinet and we moved them into a crib together.

A family outing

This is one of our first family pictures. On a pretty day in September, 2007 we loaded everyone up and headed to Southlake Town Square to enjoy the day. With some help from Grandma we got some cute pics.

meeting the great-grandparents

Labor Day, 2007, we took our first road trip to Abilene to visit family. The babies got to meet their great-grandparents. They were excellent little travelers!

Sleeping arrangements

Once home, we put the babies together in a bassinet in their own room. This was a very good arrangement, and the babies seemed to take comfort in being nestled in there together.

Happy birthday Charis & Price!

They decided I'd gone long enough. On June 20, 2007, at 38 and 1/2 weeks, they decided it was time to induce. At 8am, the doctor broke my water and I started having contractions. Despite my big plans of doing the Bradley Method, I had a C-section at about 6:40 pm. Apparently you need to be quite a bit tougher than I am to be successful with this method. Anyway, the babies weighed in at 6 lbs 10 oz EACH! This is pretty big for twins.
