Halloween

Emma as a Michigan State cheerleader, with our buddy Landon, at our first Halloween outing.

Carving pumpkins with Dad.

The whole fam dressed and ready to go to the Anderson's Halloween party. Emma chose Matt's costume. He looks less than thrilled here, but trust me, he loved every minute of it.
Ok, this one isn't so "Halloweeny" but aren't they too cute?!

The Big Sis

Emma is still in Mommy mode 24/7 around here. Sometimes I think her babies are getting better care than mine!

At the park

Emma insisted on posing in the mums for a picture...I swear it was not my idea. I also will take zero blame, err I mean credit, for her outfit. I have little say in that area these days.

The girls are almost 7 weeks and I'm happy to say there have been no major catastrohpes... yet. I've even successfully taken all three girls to Target solo. Which is huge because once it's freezing cold and snowing outside, strolling Target is one of my favorite pass-times :) Everyone keeps asking who the girls look like and who looks more like Emma. Honestly, I'm not sure but am happy to say it is finally getting easier to tell them apart.

Eat, Poop, Sleep, Repeat

So far so good. If we could just get the girls to recognize night from day, this whole twin thing would be a piece of cake. ;) Until then, Claire and Jillian are calling the shots and we're spending our days staring at adorable sleeping babies in between diaper changes and feedings.

Here are a few pictures from our first couple weeks home. Unfortunately for Emma, we've been spending a lot more time inside than she's used to. Somehow, she managed to convince us to let her "swim" in the living room. The pool was a little small but the water was bath water warm :)

In hopes to get Emma out of the baby swings, her grandma Jean sent her her own baby swing, stroller, and play mat. Emma was ecstatic about the delivery, but of course, still prefers the real swing.

Jillian and Claire all snuggled up in their swing.

Big Sister

A Family of 5

Our little girls have arrived and we couldn't be more in love! It's definitely been an adjustment but we've had lots of help which has been great. So far, Emma really seems to genuinely love her little sisters and has been a big help with feeding and diaper changes. Hoping that will

last :)

I know all ya'll are really looking for are pictures (Kristin, this means you) so I won't waste my time rambling on!

The Belly

Ok, not the best quality, but here's a recent picture. We're getting close...35 weeks and counting!

Summer

Emma has had quite the summer. The bigger I've gotten, the harder it's been for me to keep up with Emma and all of her energy. She's a mover and a shaker and wasn't diggin' the idea of staying home with Mom all summer. So, lucky for us, Emma has amazing grandparents that enjoy having her around and were willing to keep her entertained in Michigan while I sat at home in the air conditioning :)
