Joined at the Hip
The other day I looked in on the twins playing and I found this.
Quietly playing side to side, touching. So sweet!

Paparazzi
I just realized I have 9,601 pictures on my computer. That's nearly 10,000 pictures since October 2007. No wonder Brooke is so over cheezing for the camera. Anyway, here are my favorites from the last few days.
From our friends' birthday party Saturday.
My Funny Valentine
Keely
Claire
I may be biased, but I think my daughters are all absolutely beautiful!
It always takes several takes to get a good monthly picture of the twins. This time I noticed something pretty neat. Time after time, the girls responded with pretty similar facial expressions to my crazy-get-you-to-smile tactics.
What's up there?
What are you doing Mom?
Ohhhh
And here are my two favorites out of the shoot. They're both looking pretty cute and you can read the sign.
V-Day Party and More Snow
Brooke's Valentine party at school last Thursday was so much fun! Here she is icing her cupcake. She would alternate between icing the cupcake and licking the knife. It was a fun day, especially since she came home to play in the snow.
Baby sisters were such troopers, considering they had been to the doctor that morning, missed their nap, and they received shots. :(
Friday there was even more record breaking snow. So much fun!
Happy 9 months to my beautiful babies!

Arctic Blast!
When we woke up this morning, the ground was covered in snow. And it kept snowing, and snowing, and snowing! I am pretty sure today broke some kind of record for North Texas. David loves winter weather, so he raced to get home after school and play in the back yard with Brooke.
Our street
Our house
Poor neglected Dora...brr!
"I'm making tracks!"
The beginnings of the snow princess
And it's STILL snowing!! David got a call that there will be no school tomorrow. Yay!
Hopefully the twins, who turned 9 months old today, will get to enjoy some of the snow. 9 month post coming soon!

The Emily Club Reunites!
As much as I enjoy entertaining the "Under 3" crowd, it was really nice to get away for the day last Saturday for a lunch with my longtime friends in downtown Austin. We have all been friends since elementary school; most of us were a part of the Brownie Troop led by my mom. Emily formed the Emily Club somewhere around 2nd grade. Very elite. Miss these girls!
