Veronica and Maddie's first flight!

'Ronica and Maddie flex to Austin, Texas this past weekend to attend Karen and Randy's wedding. The flight and the wedding were both very exciting!

Saturday morning kitchen Fun!

Fearuring Mama's favorite, legwarmers!

Halloween with the Puppy and the Bee

E & Charla came over to celebrate Maddie Bee and Veronica Puppy's first Halloween!

As it was our first Halloween in SLP, Eoin kept close count of how many Trick or Treaters we had (27), so we'd know how many bags of candy to buy to ensure leftovers in future years!

First visit to the YWCA pool

For those who like to comment on how much the girls look like Eoin, I'll have you know there's a picture of Heidi as a baby that looks just like Veronica below.

News in Brief

A lot of other things have happened in the last two months... to mention just a few:











Heidi rocked the YWCA triathlon... complete with her own cheering squad.













Maddie wants to do her own tri.







Usually one of us is behind the camera, so it is nice to have a family picture... relaxing (as much as we can with twins) at the lake.








We had fun at the State Fair. Veronica seemed to like the goats.














Many thanks to the new godparents Laura and Jeff with Maddie and Keiran and Jennie with Veronica.

Had to lower the mattress in the crib! No one seems to mind (though our backs are sore from putting heavy babies to bed).

Bathtime in the tub seems to be a hit! (It took a lot of effort to avoid a splash pun).
