Bumps and Bruises!

Having boys means cuts, scrapes, bumps and bruises. David gave us quite a scare one night. We heard a very loud crash followed by horrific screaming and crying. He had fallen off the piano bench, which he was standing on so that he could see himself in the mirror...., and caught the inside corner of his eye on the corner of the bench. He is so lucky that he did not hit his eyeball...

We had to wait almost a month after the twins actually turned 1 to have their 1 year pictures taken. Mostly due to James being w new walker and falling quite often creating a multitude of bruises on his forehead. Every time we thought his head was clearing up enough to get the pictures done, down he would go again creating a fresh bruise....

Here is one of the many examples of James and his bruises!

We finally got the pictures done and here they are!

Happy Birthday Cate and James!

I know it has been quite a while, so bear with me, I am backdating to catch you all up on our happenings......

Cate and James turned 1 in February! We can hardly believe that a year has flown by so quickly. I remember saying "Just let me get through this first year" over and over. Although I was happy to have endured the first year with twins, I didn't realize where exactly that would put us.....

On their actual birthday February 2.

Their big party with all our family and friends.

James walked pretty close to his birthday and took off running. He is all boy and into everything!!! He will drive you crazy to the point of pulling your hair out and then he will flash that adorable smile and all is right again. He so badly wants to be his big brother and do what he does. This of course annoys David to no end....

They actually look like they like each other!

Sweet Cate, is so content sitting and looking through her books and just watching her brothers run wild. I thank God every day for giving me a sweet baby like her, she is always so happy and content. I know, wait until she is a teen, right??

We had a wonderful celebration of their first year. I can't believe my last babies are already one and I look forward to the many adventures we will have in the years to come!
