Green Thumbs

This past week Tracy decided it was time to give our front yard a makeover. We had three green bushes and two green midget trees, which in my humble opinion looked pretty good. She wanted to get rid of all five and replace them. We went and got new bushes and I set to work. The end result… three green bushes and two green midget trees.

The girls and I worked all day last Saturday on this project and here’s the proof. Alison even let me use her Barbie shovel

A Quick Update

It has been a while since we have had a website of any kind so we should probably get caught up to speed. We now live in Brunswick Maryland and are loving life. I am working for NOAA as a marine engineer. I like my job a lot. Here is a URL which shows one of the boats I am working on: http://www.moc.noaa.gov/hb/index.htm

Tracy is cute and pregnant. She is now 33 weeks along and the average for twins is 35 weeks. It's impossible to be ready for a change of this kind but we are excited nonetheless. Under the direction of Tracy, we have painted the twins room, have two cribs, two car seats, and have almost everything ready for the babies to come. Stay tuned for more updates.

Alison will turn 5 on July 14. She is loving preschool and has made a bunch of friends. Last week her school had a daddy/daughter (or son) evening at school. The theme was pirates. I found out about this evening a few hours before it started so I had to improvise. By the looks of all the other dads, I wasn't the only one. There were a select few who looked like they shared clothes with Capt. Jack Sparrow (Pirate nerds). Here is a picture of that day:Lauren is growing very fast. Her hair is as curly as ever. Her bangs have almost recovered from Alison's recent hair-cutting experiment. Lauren is very excited about the twins. She plays dolls a lot and she always has two of them at a time. She will be a great older sister.

Stay tuned for updates about the twins. Until then...

The Twin Babies

I am now 33 weeks along and the twins are doing great. Here is the first sonogram of the twins taken at 12 weeks. How surprised were we when we found out that there were two?

This is 'baby B' at 28 weeks. The 3-D imaging they use is really neat. you can see so much detail.
The babies are now 33 weeks along and are getting too big for an accurate picture. I guess it's like taking a picture with the lens pressed up against your face.
