SUCCESS- Sort Of

Well, it's all three kids and they are all in one picture. Of course not everybody is looking at the camera but beggars can't be choosers! Not long after this picture was taken Cayden thought it would be fun to fall backward into the sand and take the twins with him! Cutter thought it was pretty fun but Cooper was furious. So, needless to say the photo-op was over! I look forward to our next beach trip when everybody can walk and enjoy the beach.
The twins will be six months old tomorrow and Cayden wants to type his favorite number for you now. . .

This number also happens to be how old he is! Now Cayden wants to type the number he will be at his next birthday. . .

We were also able to get a picture of all three kids with my dad who is in a nursing home in hospice care. He was very alert and talked to us and made sense and knew me and the kids on the way to Padre. On the way home he was no longer alert so we were very glad to get the picture when we did.

Family Trip To the Gulf Coast


We were able to take a short family vacation to the Texas coast at Corpus Christi. Had a great time and am grateful to my brother-in-law & sis-in-law for providing our wonderful housing accommodations. More pictures and stories will follow soon. Until then enjoy this shot taken from the steps of Snoopy's Seafood Restaurant. GREAT FOOD!

Smile Tori!

Taking a kid's picture is somewhat of a challenge. You may take 20 shots and get one decent one. Add a second kid and that percentage gets even smaller. Add a third kid and you're just lucky nobody gets hurt. I want so badly to have a good picture of all three of my kids together but for now that's not looking like it's going to happen. We tried tonight. Cayden even wants to be in pictures with the babies now. (At first he didn't want any part of pictures) Cayden would move, Cooper would eat her hands and Cutter would pull the sheet. . . or something like that. Not one was clear of all three of them. So, for now I will be patient and just show you the fattening faces of the twins that started life so tiny and frail! (you can really tell that now can't you?) They are about 5 1/2 months in this picture. So, nothing deep and profound from me (maybe next time if Scott writes something!)- just an update on the kids for those of you that we don't get to see every day. And, Tori, I hope this makes you smile.
