We are doing well and having fun with Tessa and Neveah. Tanner has really enjoyed having a playmate that is able to crawl around and play with him instead of just lay there like his sisters do know.



We have managed to get out of the house a few times. Yesterday we took all 4 kids to our friend's pool. While I am not so sure it was worth all the preparation, the kids did have fun and Emory and Alexis just chilled out in the stroller in the shade and slept.


Yesterday I took Alexis to the Dr for her congested nose. The dr said she may have a cold, but not much they do for small babies. We just have to suction her out lots and keep her elevated. Sleeping seems to be hard for her now, so hopefully she will feel better soon. We did weigh both girls and they are doing great! Emory is now 7lbs 10.5oz and Alexis is 6lbs 13oz!! They are normal size babies now and I can tell they are filling out in their cheeks.

Today we went to our neighborhood picnic. Tanner enjoyed the snow cones and cotten candy of course! It was pretty warm out there though (dumb texas heat) so we didnt stay too long.

Here is a previous pic from Tanner's 2yr bday!

Well we are on our own again. Chris parents left this afternoon and I had my first few hours alone with all 3 kids. It went alright, other than the fact that Tanner REALLY dislikes when I have to feed the girls. He is always finding an excuse to have me get up and get him something, so we are now working on teaching him patience. I can definetly see some jealousy issues arising the last few days.

Father's day was nice. Chris had to work so we didnt get to spend a whole lot of time with him. He did enjoy holding his girls though and playing with tanner for a little while.

My sister flies in on wed afternoon and looking forward to seeing her then. Hopefully our home wont be too crazy with another baby around :) I will be glad to have some help feeding the girls tonight... I determined that I spend almost 8-10hrs/day feeding and pumping. That is CRAZY!! Hopefully they will be more efficient eaters soon.

I made it through a night alone with the girls. Chris went back to work last night and I had night duty alone. Chris' mom is here to help, but I decided not to bother her last night and let her sleep. Emory must be going through a growth spurt cause she has been wanting to eat in less than 3 hrs lately. I am pumping and feeding at night and then trying to breastfeed through the day, but it has been a time-consuming event and not sure how long I can do it once the help leaves as Tanner can be "needy" at times. We will just see how things go!

Last night we took the family to Denny's which just opened in Royse City. It was nice to get out and since Wayne and Lucia were here, we had plently of hands. The girls slept through the meal and Tanner enjoyed his kids meal of hot dogs and applesauce.

It was so cute today as Tanner is very protective of his sisters. He was sitting next to Emory's boucy seat taking care of her and talking to her with his cute smile. He really loves his baby sisters as I can tell from his actions (most of the time).

My first blog

My first blog entry!! I wanted to start this so that all our family and friends who live far away or close can keep up to date on our family. I will try my best to post pics and updates as much as possible, but as you all know life is pretty crazy right now with a 2 yr old and twins!

The girls are doing well and growing great. On monday Emory weighed 6lbs 5oz and Alexis was 5lbs 11oz. They continue to eat every 3 hrs and I am trying to keep up with breastfeeding and pumping. We will see how long I can do it, but as long as I have help at home, I can try.

My mom left earlier this week and we miss her alot!! She was a tremendous help! Chris' mom will be here tommorow for a few days to help and then my sister will be here early next week. It will be nice to have an extra set of hands.

Tanner is doing great with his sisters and has shown us how he can be a great big brother. He is always trying to give them kisses and helps us as much as he can. We do need to keep our eye on him, but he is getting better each day.

We had an outing yesterday to the mall. Not sure it was worth the hassle, but we survived. Tanner had fun playing at the play area and chris got his father's day gift of some clothes. It is fun getting all the attention from onlookers.

Well I better get going for now. Hope you all enjoy!
