What's Been Going On Lately?

A lot.  I'm going to recap it all for you right here. 

In November, Ava and I went to St. Louis to visit Lucas and Jamie's new twin baby girls!  Let me tell you...two babies are four times as sweet as one.  Margaret and Nora could not be more precious!  Marc and I can't wait to see them at Christmas!   

Jonas, Erin and I all helped give the girls their bath.  Here's Jamie making being a new mommy of twins look easy.  That's Nora girl getting her hair brushed.

Their daddy helped with bathtime too. 

Here's Margaret all wet.  They will both have the prettiest blue eyes, just like their parents.

Ava looked like a giant compared the them.  These girls are growing so fast and already weigh over 8 pounds!

Awww.  In between all the baby loving we had a good time planning Jonas and Erin's wedding-over a few glasses of wine, visiting with Grandma and Grandpa, Grandma Shook, Kathy, and eating lots of dad's cooking.

We had a great Thanksgiving in Nebraska with Marc's parents. 

Ava has a few "party tricks" now.  The one she's doing below is indian girl.  I taught her to ay ay ay ay ay like a little indian...specifically for Thanksgiving.  She did me proud.

I made head dresses for every one.  It was important that Ava had a head dress on her first Thanksgiving, and why should she have to wear one alone?  It was fun, I'll probably do it again next year...or maybe I'll figure out how to make pilgrim hats.

After lunch we took a walk and paparazzi mom came out (again).  Can't help myself.  Can you see 2 teeth on top...there are actually 4 on top now.  That's the reason somebody didn't sleep all Thanksgiving weekend.  Actually, a lot of somebodies if you count Marc and me who took turns staying up with a fussy teether. 

So, it's been busy lately with a lot of baby time, family time, up at night time (thought we were done with that!), holiday time, it's all a good time.
