Mmmmm...Good!

Happy Half-Birthday to Geneva & Asher!

So yesterday marks the one year anniversary of finding out we were having twins.  I still remember sitting in the doctor's office and the feeling of shock when she said there were two heartbeats....that feeling lasted for over a week, and now, as they turn 6 months old, I no longer feel shock but instead bliss.  I feel so blessed by my three kids and can't imagine life without them!

To remember that day with me, visit here, and now here our twins are at already 6 months old:

6-month stats:

Geneva -- 15 lbs. 1 oz. (40th percentile), 26.25" (75th)

Asher -- 15 lbs. 9 oz. (20th percentile), 28.5" (>95th)

Orchard Fun

We spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Schwallier's Country Basket yesterday. Autumn....what a wonderful season!

It's Dinnertime, Folks!

And so it begins...my babies are eating real food!

Texas Road Trip

Well, we survived!  Our first road trip (other than to Canada) with the three kids and they all did great!  We were able to visit for a whole week with our friends the Alderinks who recently moved to Ft. Worth.  Our vacation started with a couple days at their family's lake house and then the rest of our time together was spent in Ft. Worth checking out the museum, playing, cooling down at the spray park, a small amount of adult time, and pacifying the kids from time to time with computers and iPhones.  We concluded our trip home with a stay in St. Louis and a quick stop at the St. Louis Zoo.  What a wonderful adventure!

4-Month Update

Our darling babes had their 4-month checkups and vaccinations yesterday.  Boy, are they healthy!  Asher now weighs 14 lbs. 12 oz. and is already 26.25" long.  And Geneva is catching up to him at 13 lbs. 14 oz., 25.5" long!  Both of them weigh more than Sydney did at 4 months.  No preemies here!

Twins' Baptism

Yesterday at Calvin CRC we celebrated the baptism of Asher and Geneva into the family of God, and after church we spent some time with family and friends over coffee and dessert as well.  What a blessed event!

This is a baptismal blessing from the French Huguenots, recited by our pastor on Sunday:

For you, O little one, God created the universe
For you, O little one, He sent Jesus to be born in Bethlehem
For you, O little one, Jesus lived
For you, O little one, Jesus died
For you, O little one, Jesus rose
For you, O little one, Jesus is coming again
And you, O little one, know none of this
But we promise to tell you.
