Jack and Will LOVE the Very Hungry Catepillar. It is a must before bed. We spent a Sunday pantsless working on potty training. It wasn't very successful. However, they did make use of the empty laundry basket. Who needs real toys?!
Here I am at 20 weeks. Next week is our first "big" ultrasound. And, no, we will not be finding out what we are having. We'll be setting up a betting system like we did last time. Unprompted, Jack and Will say they want sisters.

We Get To Ride In The New Car

Last weekend we filled our requirement for a car that would hold 4 car seats. We went with the 8-passenger Toyota Sienna. The boys are very excited about it.

Here's Will driving the new van.

Jack was left out so we let him drive the Trailblazer. Of course he pushed every button.

Jack was kind enough to give Will a "dinosaur ride"

Easter Pictures

It was wonderful to be in MN this past weekend. We hadn't been back since Christmas. I was feeling homesick for the first time in a long time. Thanks to Mom and Ken for their generous hospotality as usual. And to Rob and Katie for being flexible with our last minute, "Can we stay at your place tonight?" And to Blair and Irma for making the trip down from Grand Rapids. To Bob and Kathy, thanks for the musical bunny and chick:) They boys love to ride around on these blue cars.

Moose took the boys to the park while I shopped with my mom. Will loves the slide but takes it very seriously.

Moose and Jack enjoying some father/son time. The boys LOVE their dad.

Another favorite and Mom and Ken's is the stroller and baby. Ken was generous and bought new strollers and booster seats.

A Growing Family

We don't often update the blog with a word only post. However, this is definitely worthy. Moose and I found out in early January that we are expecting again. We were really excited and anxious for the first doctor appointment, due to the miscarriage in September. On Wednesday I went to my appointment and the doctor was able to find a heartbeat. I asked if we could do a quick ultrasound just to be sure everything was okay. As I was looking at the ultrasound machine, my mind was trying to process the image. Then it became clear, there were 2 sacs and and membrane line. We are having twins again! I am due October 3.

Walk around the neighborhood.

Bikes!

February Pictures

Forgive me father, for I have sinned. It has been a month since the last update. I apologize for the delay in updated pictures of Jack and Will. Enjoy!
They love hats.
Jack and his runny, runny nose.

Will's classic "cheese" smile.

In the morning, we often find them cuddled up together.

January Pictures

It is amazing at how fast a month can go. This month the boys turned 2! They have had multilpe ear infections and are currently fighting off croup. The doctor said, "Blonde hair, blue-eyed boys are sensitive." Just what a mother of two wants to hear. Needless to say, it has been a busy month. Here are a few pictures from January. Even though their big boy beds are plenty comfy, they prefer to find each other at night and cuddle up on the floor. We love Dora and Diego!
