Christmas festivities!

We had a fun weekend and got into the Christmas spirit. Friday night we went to Frisco Square and saw the light show. The boys had fun, but not as much fun as Sunday night at Frisco's Safety Town! They had a blast! (Safety Town is a miniature little Frisco with a Wal-mart, hospital, etc. all in tiny houses just made for little people). They thought they died and went to heaven and were literally running into every little house to open and close doors! They also got to go on a fire truck. It was a warm night and we had great help from Grandma and Grandpa! We all got a workout running after them... I believe one of the policemen said to Sean "Boy, they are some livewires!...

Here are some pictures. As you can see we are somewhat restraining Collin to take a picture.. He had lots of things he wanted to do and sitting still was not one!

So much fun! I highly recommend it!

Out of the mouths of babes...

As many of you know I spent my previous life as a speech therapist specifically working with little ones. Loved my job and loved having success helping little ones start talking. Well, when I found out I was having twins, I knew they would be a little delayed in their speech. When I found out it was two boys I tacked on a little more delay (sorry guys, little girls just mature faster). When they were ten weeks premature, I jokingly said they wouldn't talk until they were 3 (half-serious). Even though I know all of this, it still was getting a little hard that they are getting so big and still weren't saying much. Well, thank goodness we have some words now!! (this also helps reduce the whining and my bleeding ears!). It is so sweet to hear them talking, it really just makes me so happy! Collin is really taking off and says lots of words. He particularly likes "up" and "out" because they are so multi-functional and can get him just about anything he wants. He also imitates lots of words! Jack started saying "up" and "help". It is very cute when they start to cry/whine and then suddenly realize there is a faster way! Very proud of my boys!

Gym Class!!

The boys went to their first gym class today and had a blast! I was a little nervous taking both by myself, but they really did great! They jumped on the trampoline, went on the bars, climbed, and went through numerous tunnels . They also had a car that goes on a ramp thing which Jack was obsessed with the whole time!! Most importantly, it wore them out! It is now 2:30p.m. and they have been in bed since 12p.m. The tuition is definitely worth it! We will go to class once a week and a free play once a week. Also, when Miss Caroline gets ready, she is very cheap since her brothers go! The upsides of having a big family!
Thank you My Gym!
