fun with hats in diapers.

They love to play with their winter hats. Even cuter that they are just wearing diapers!

I'll post more later, but nap time is over. We were down to one nap a day this week, but today C&C needed an early nap...two hours later, they are awake!

basket cases.

Again, why do we bother with toys??? Chloe even played in is by herself. Her hair was good and static clingy!

17 month photos.

In my mind I planned pictures in diapers only...but plans change. Here are pictures from today. Connor is such a trooper with his cast and has adapted so well. And, he has not used it as a weapon, on purpose, at least.....

I was tagged by fellow twin mom, Dianna. I took the fourth photo in the fourth photo file on my computer.

If you are reading this and have a blog, post your fourth photo in the fourth file on your photo section of your computer!

first time playing in the snow.

Chloe and mommy.
She LOVED it, as long as I carried her!

Connor "helping" daddy shovel. He actually got it!

Love this picture of Chloe with daddy and C in the background.

Little Man, Connor.
He screamed his head off when we went back inside.

Hopefully the weather will get back into the teens soon so we can play outside again.

Connor and his new club.

His thumb before surgery. It's the best picture I could get without looking through saved images.


In recovery. I thoroughly enjoyed the snuggle time.


You can see his fingers and his thumb with the pin ball is behind that metal part.

Club hand, that is. Connor was scheduled for minor surgery to correct a trigger thumb. He's had a "fat thumb" since birth, and I never thought anything of it. Well, we asked at C&C's 15 month appt if it was normal, and his new pediatrician referred him to a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon. We expected a quick surgery to release the the tendon and allow full extension of his thumb. Unfortunately, once they looked around his thumb, the surgeon noted that it was not truly a trigger thumb. So, he cleaned the area up and mobilized the tendon as much as possible. To keep full extension of his thumb, he placed a pin in his thumb bones. To keep that area immobile, they placed a long arm cast. So, the little guy has a cast for the next month. He's adjusted well and other than when frustrated, does not use his new weapon. I did place an old sock on his cast to keep it clean and less scratchy. We haven't signed his cast yet, but should. Don't you think?

Ok. Need to make a winter/snow post now.

final family Christmas.

We celebrated my family Christmas this past weekend. C&C received some great gifts and enjoyed time with their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. Now I need to get our Christmas thank you cards out!

Home wreckers?

What do you do when mom and dad flip the chair to clean out stuff pushed underneath? You sit on it!

our wild and crazy new year's eve.

After C&C went down for the night, Chad played computer war games and I scrapbooked. We both made it until about 2am! We felt it the next day. Nothing like a sleep hangover.

piggies.

Piggies in Chloe's hair. Not quite there yet, but her hair is slowly getting there. She left them in until she saw herself in a mirror, then proceeded to pull out the hair bands!
