Valentines Day at our home was a bunch of fun! Mom and Dad gave us chocolate! Grandma and Pepe (Our Clothiers..aka "GranPepe") gave us new outfits and cards. Grandboogie came over with more chocolate, a book and some gifts. We had an indoor picnic and watched the "Pothole 500" with Dad. Here are pictures and a movie of the activities. Special thanks to Miss Tina for helping us make cards for the Grandparents!
Better late than never! Well even the blogmaster is allowed to take some time off. And that we did. Our Christmas season was fun but as always way too short. TwinMom and TwinPop took the week of Christmas off. We started the Christmas festivities at Grandboogies home on Christmas eve. We had a fun time with Grandboogie and the "big" cousins. Granboogie did a super job of hosting and we all had a lot of fun, fellowship and a bunch to eat. We hurried home to get ready for church. We dressed up like sheep and participated in our Church Nativity Scene. Once we got home we put out the Reindeer food and Santa's milk and cookies. Santa must have thought that we were good kids because there were presents under the tree when we woke up. After opening presents and having some time with Grandboogie we packed up the van and headed to cousin Carter's home. What a blast we had! All of the little cousins were there. We played with our new stuff and opened more presents. We had a great weekend at Carters home with Uncle Mel, Aunt Heather, Grandma and Pepe. Carter took us to his park and we had a blast wearing out the adults. Later that night we ate Cuban food from Hugo's. We had a fun week with Mom and Dad. They took us on a ferry ride and we went up to Fernandina to look for Pirates. Mr H found a few wooden Pirates. On New Years Eve we went to our friend's home for a party. We stayed up all the way to the New Year. The next day we had a Bar-B-Que feast. Grandboogie brought the greens and blackeyes....yummy...and good luck. Well Mom and Dad are back at work and the year is off to a great start. Please take a look at our pictures and come back weekly to see what we are up to. We would love to hear from you...please leave us comments.
Happy New Year!!!
It is hard to believe that Christmas is upon us and that the New Year is right around the corner. We are truly blessed. A year ago we were in the hospital as our daughter was fighting for her life following surgery. Everyone is healthy. Our two little guys are growing like weeds and are anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival. Our home is a behive of activity and anticipation! If you are a first time visitor to the blog, please take a look around. We try to update it every week or two (on 2sDay of course). We love to get comments, it is our way of knowing that we had visitors!
It is hard to believe that a year ago this week our precious daughter had a surgery that saved her life. What a change the year has brought in terms of health, growth and development. Every year there is a major fund-raising event that benefits the hospital where Kate had her surgery. The final event of the week is the fashion show. All of the children in the show were patients of the hospital. Kate was the youngest kid to take the runway. I am biased but I think she stole the show. What a blessing to have such a wonderful resource in our community. The following photos are of the show:

This is bonus material taken yesterday by the SuperNanny. Our guys are fascinated with the various stuffed animals that play some sort of Christmas music, etc. Here they are indoctrinating Baby Julia into the finer aspects of the Christmas season. I think she is going to like Christmas. Mr. H has taken to a Dog that has a Christmas themed song that "gets a little bit louder now". O Joy....Just imagine this non-stop for 16 hours a day! What fun!
