Almost forgot our favorite double play!!!

Alexus and Olivia (born 6/15/07)

I am not sure why it is putting writing over here.......

I can't believe that we haven't found any cute stories to post about the twins. There was the time Olivia bit Alexus and then put her finger in Alexus's mouth hoping her sister would return the favor and thus avoid punishment....or how about when they don't like what they are eating they put in on their sister's tray until all the food is on the floor. Olivia definitley takes after her mother, she always is trying shoes on....her hands and Alexus loves to play joust with the kitch broom handle. Anyway, they are now almost 15 months and keeping us busy.

Back to School

Eliza started kindergarten! Here she is on her first day of school. She had two boxes of pencils, a box of crayons, a pencil box to put them in, a pencil sharpener, new PE shoes, two bottles of hand soap, a picture for her teacher from Belle and her lunch all in her backpack. She had a great first day and said she got to read a book out loud in front of the class.

I can't believe how fast we are getting old

Erik is struggling today, he cannot grasp the idea of having a child old enough to lose a tooth. Eliza lost her first tooth. She notified me of a loose tooth on Friday at lunch. Within twenty-four hours she had lost it. Needless to say the toothfairy was totally unprepared and their was a little stress between Erik and I as we had not yet discussed how the toothfairy would work in our family. Somehow the toothfairy did come but I think it will be a little different next time if he's better prepared. By the way that was another part of our discussion. I believe the toothfairy is a "he." Erik wasn't so sure. Of course if you've seen "The Santa Claus" you know he is a man. Anyway, we have a kid old enough to lose teeth and go to kindergarten in a few weeks. And Erik just keeps repeating that randomly throughout the day. Poor guy.

New Haircut

Belle looked a little different to me today. After admiring how grown-up she's looking for some time, I realized she has bangs now. I asked aloud, "Did someone cut your hair Belle?" She was quiet. When everyone else said they had nothing to do with it, I asked, "How did you do it, Belle?" She said she held the scissors up and they cut through it. She doesn't know where the hair she cut off went. But I am very impressed with how nice a job she did.

Welcome to the 1990s

We are so excited. We found out that we can get cheap dial up all the way in Northport and decided it was worth a try. Yesterday we almost had to evacuate due to a forest fire a quarter of mile away, but the locals quickly saddled their horses and put it out. The down side was we didn't have power until 3:44am this morning.

It was a good test run for a real emergency since it took us two minutes to get ready to go with 72 hour kits, clothes and Tomi's Sr year book as a keep sake. The twins are still not running which we are OK with since they are hard enough to keep up with when they mostly crawl. We'll keep you posted as life happens.
