No Internet

We are at the beach, but our beach house does not have internet access. I am posting this from a Blackberry but will not be able to post any pictures until we get back. Look for some good pictures next Monday.

Day 149: Foyer Fun

The girls played in the foyer for awhile today. They love to take a few toys down there and play on the marble floor. We used to try to keep them out of there, but it makes them happy so we let them play there now. They're pretty good about locking the deadbolt when they go down there, so we don't have to worry about anyone opening the door into them. Here are Virginia and Paige as they were coming out of the foyer. And, yes, Virginia's onesie is on backwards. That's the only way we can get her to keep them on overnight and at nap time.

Day 148: Little Photographer

Today I was using our small camera to take video of Paige and Virginia picked up the big camera and tried to take pictures. Don't worry, as soon as I took this picture I grabbed the camera from her so that she wouldn't drop it. Children their age tend to model behaviors they see, you think Virginia sees up holding the camera up to our faces to take pictures often?

Day 147: 23 Months Old

Today Paige and Virginia turned 23 months old! Only one more month until their second birthday. Hard to believe it's been that long since they were born.

Day 146: "Look At My New Onesies!"

We've started putting the girls in onesies at night under their sleepers, but we only had 4 onesies that fit them so the other day I ordered some bigger onesies for them. They came today and I came home to 2 little girls wearing a total of 8 onesies over their clothes. Here's Paige showing off the 5 onesies she was wearing.

Day 145: Wearing Blue for JW

Last Thursday a friend of mine from my Moms of Multiples message board lost her 20 month old son, JW. He had had lung problems since birth- he was born at only 27 weeks gestation. A couple of weeks ago he came down with a respiratory infection that landed him in the hospital on a ventilator. Although he had come through a similar ailment in December, this one proved to be too much for his fragile lungs. Thursday afternoon Tiffany, his mom, was told that there was nothing more the doctors could do for him and to just hold him. So Tiffany held her baby boy as he breathed his last breaths. That day the hearts of everyone from that message board broke. Today was JW's memorial service, so in honor of JW all of us women from the board dressed ourselves and our children in blue. Here are Virginia, me and Paige wearing our blue in memory of JW Blakey, may he rest in peace.

Day 144: Smiley Girls

Paige and Virginia sitting on their picnic table in the living room. And being very happy about it. Oh, and according to her shirt, Paige loves Cheerios. So true.
