Our First Walk For a Cause

This morning the twins and did the March of Dimes walk. We walked in honor and memory of a past sorority sister's triplets. It was such a great event. Her two girls who have been in seclusion for the past 15 months were able to come for the walk that honored them and remembered their triplet brother.

After a while, we had to stop to let the kids get a drink....getting pushed in the hot sun is really hard!

Visitors From Down South

The Cole's came up this weekend for a visit. It had been a while since they'd last seen the twins, so they were floored at how big they have gotten.

Ethan especially loved taking advantage of Bob's long limbs for extra high fun!

Elaine took the life of leisure and worked on being cute with Katie.

I Thought We Were Too Old For This

Since the bathroom with the bathtub is being renovated, the twins have had to take baths in the sink. They love splashing and I love that I don't have to get the bucket out to clean the floors! I just let them splash away and mop afterwards...just kidding.

It's Skyline Time

Tonight the twins had Skyline for the first time. For those not from the area, Skyline is a Cincinnati chili brand. It is traditionally served on spaghetti and topped with cheese. The twins thought it was also good smeared all over their face!

Easter Goodies

The Easter Bunny brought the twins a whole bunch of goodies even if they fell asleep before they could color eggs. Grandma and Grandpa Barker came down for the weekend and gave them cute spring hats and fun bath toys. The Easter Bunny had to be careful with candy so he compensated with new rocking chairs, some wind-up toys, and Peeps.

Now the kids can relax and enjoy their snacks in style!

A Day of Excitment

This weekend Grandma and Grandpa Barker came down to help Patrick and Uncle Timmy tear down the gazebo and rip out the upstairs bathroom. After a hard day of work, the twins got to play with everyone.

Early Renovators

We had carpet installed today on the basement steps. The kids couldn't stop watching the workers. Seems like they might take after their parents and one day be perfect helpers.

Grooming

The kids have started noticing they have hair. They love getting their hair brushed and even trying it out on themselves.

Hair-Did

Mashed potatoes are not just for eating!

We Are Stretching Our Legs

The twins have started taking their first independent steps and think it is the most fun thing to show off.

Elaine started first but in her typical style, refuses to let us tape it.
