Christmas Day






We had a wonderful Christmas! Santa brought everything on Molly's list--and then some! Of course, Lanie and Lindy had no idea what was going on, but they sure do love all their new toys too! More than anything, I was so excited to be together with our little family. We had a hectic few days of running around and going all over town with three kids to be with each of our families. But we survived-and somehow didn't lose sight of the blessings of our three most precious gifts. We also finally got a family picture at Granny's house!

Lindy & Lanie-5 months

All Aboard!




We went to the Jefferson Railway of Lights in Jefferson, Texas. Molly and Graham had so much fun riding a real choo-choo! We almost didn't make it. The first time we were planning to go, we didn't know you needed tickets, so we had to postpone the trip. This time we had tickets and tried to be prepared by printing out directions. The directions didn't tell us that our exit would be CLOSED!!! We went one hour the wrong way! Thank goodness for OnStar. We arrived safe and sound just before the train departed. That's what we get for all of these blondes running the operation!!

It's Hard Enough...






It is hard enough to get a good picture of one kid. Try three at the same time. I tried to get a cute picture of all three girls. By the time we were finished, I was sweating and all three babies were crying. I felt like a slave driver. They would take turns crying and when they would stop I couldn't help myself-so I would make them pose for a few more. We ended up with 86 pictures... Not one perfect! Here are some for your enjoyment. They are precious to me even if they aren't picture-perfect!!!

Better than cookies and milk


Many of you know the story of my pregnancy. Most of you probably don't know the details. All of you know what miracles my baby girls are... The day I found out that the twins were going to be girls I also found out there were complications. I tried that day to celebrate the fact that we were getting to have two more little Mollys-even though I was worried sick. So I do what I do best in a crisis-shop. I went by myself and found these onesies and had to have them. That day-even though I didn't know what we were in store for- I dreamed of what my two little identical twins would look like in these silly little t-shirts. These onesies ended up being the ONLY baby things that I bought during the entire pregnancy. The futher the pregnancy went along, the more I would tell myself that maybe there was a chance that I could use the onesies. But I kept them in the closet and sometimes tried to pretend that they weren't there. I would think of them and wish they were already out of my house so that in the event something happened to one or both babies, I wouldn't have to get rid of them. They stayed in the bag with the tags on them until yesterday. I have never had so much fun cutting a tag off of clothing! No one will ever know the joy I feel seeing Lanie and Lindy wearing them. They mean so much more to me than a cute phrase worn by precious babies. To me they mean that God heard me, answered my prayers and blessed my life with two miracles. Those onesies are a reminder to me to hold on, let God do His work, and trust that He's in control. And I am proud to report that yes, they are about to outgrow them already!!!

My baby wants a BARBIE!



Okay-we've officially crossed over from babyhood... Molly is asking Santa for some Barbies this year. I am having a hard time with it. Mostly because I have SEEN the Barbies they are producing! Let's hope Santa can find some with LOTS of clothes on! Yes, I am THAT mother :) I just can't believe how big she is. It seems like just yesterday she was a tiny baby and now she wants a bike and a pink helmet and BARBIES!!! I would give anything for the bricks I could use to put on her head to stop her from getting big.

Here she is visiting with Santa-she loves him SO much!!

All dressed up and no where to go!





Here are some new pictures of Lanie and Lindy. I didn't get any of them together because they bathed/napped/posed in shifts... This is what we do most of the day-get dressed up to sit around the house and take pictures. Anyway-here they are at 4 months! Lindy was getting a little bored and she doesn't like a bow. We've got to work on that!

Molly's 50's Day





She looked so adorable in her little poodle skirt!!
