We have had a busy two weeks since our last post. These are the highlights:

Mom took Dad out to celebrate his 47th Birthday.

The Wordbird flew into town for business. Shemp and Dad joined him for dinner at Mortons.

Dad and Mom celebrated their 11th anniversary!

We went to the pumpkin patch with Mom, SuperNanny and Baby Julia. We had a blast!

US+2sDay St Pete Beach Weekend

September 14th, 2009 — family, Photos, Trip, twins, Uncategorized, Video

Our family gets together every September for a beach weekend. This year we returned to the Sirata. We chose to stay on the resort grounds for the weekend. On Friday night Pepe and Grandma hosted us at the on-site restaurant (Thanks!). After a very nice dinner we returned to their room and celebrated Ed's birthday. The next morning we awoke to rain. We were determined not to let the rain spoil our day. After a bit of arm twisting Twin Mom convinced us to splash around in the rain. Later that day while the twins took a nap the big folks paddleboarded in the gulf with the manatees and dolphins. We had a nice visit with the Carlson side of the family who spent time in the water with us and even hosted the pizza party that night (Thanks Uncle Karl!). Later that evening we celebrated Cousin Carter and Aunt Heather's Birthdays. Cousin Carter got a Huffy Bike from Grandma and Pepe! The weather was beautiful on Sunday morning so we splashed away in the pool before departing. Grandma sent us off with sandwiches which were yummy. We can't wait for our return next year!

US+2sDay Transitions

August 25th, 2009 — family, Photos, twins, Uncategorized

On Wednesday we said goodbye to Miss Alonna. She has been such a blessing to our family. As you probably know Miss Alonna (aka SuperNanny II) came into our lives in early April when Miss Tina (aka SuperNanny) went on maternity leave. Mom and Dad were worried that we would not find a suitable substitute for Miss Tina. Miss Alonna came into our lives and touched us all. She really gave us a great summer!! We did a variety of activities to include: library time, swim lessons, gym class, and art and learing activities. We accomplished a bunch through the hard work of Miss Alonna. We are now potty trained, sleeping in big beds, swimming, out of physical therapy and we have a home full of our art work. We were all sad to say goodbye to Miss Alonna. She started out as our Nanny and is now like a member of our family. Below is a picture of us with Miss Alonna. We love you!
