Weekly Wrap-up

I feel like this week was short and long all at the same time! All of us have been battling a bit of a cold and Madi had to stay home three days this week. Snot sucking three littles is no fun. :-/ However, we are all on the mend thankfully and Madi was able to return to school Friday. I got some extra snuggles out of it from all the girls so I'm not complaining. ;-)

We started off the week trying out a gymnastic class that is basically across the street from us. Madi has such a blast!! I'll do a full post on the class later, but take a look at the joy on this sweet girl's face! We've ordered a leotard and she's excited for another class tomorrow night. :-)

There's been some baby gymnastics at home too (if you count tummy time!). These girls are getting so good! Evy just hangs out looking around or lately, rolling both directions. Liv is getting her head up really well and is starting to try and roll herself, but she hasn't quite done it yet.

We took advantage of the nice weather (and the fact that Madi was acting perfectly fine despite a slight fever and runny nose) and went for some walks and also to go feed the ducks.

And of course there was plenty of playing in our household! Madi's awake time when she was nine weeks old consisted of swing, cuddles, playmat, etc. Evy and Liv get to be fed by Madi and interact with her - and they love it! They only had eyes for her in these pictures. She makes them smile and it melts my heart to see how much love they have for each other already!

On Saturday we headed to our favorite indoor play place Leo's and met up with some new friends there. Madi had a ball as usual despite a jammed finger. It's seriously bruised! She told us she hurt it and Jason and I were amazed that at less than 2.5 she's telling us what hurts. Nothing a little ice cream couldn't fix though. ;-) And while Madi played with Daddy, the twins hung out with their new friend Ellie.

And just to brighten your Sunday, here are a few more cute shots from this week. :-)

We've mastered the triple bath! ;-) And both Evy and Liv love baths just like Madi! We've had a lot of people tell us they think Evy is starting to look more and more like Madi, but we see her in Liv as well!

And finally, Zoey hugs. Perfect way to end the week! ;-)

Twins' Monogram Photo Shoot

My friend Ashley makes the most beautiful baby clothes! She made Madi's One Year dress and I constantly swoon over her Instagram pictures of the Sunday dresses she makes for her daughter Elise (#elisesmamasews).

She surprised me with two gorgeous monogrammed dresses for Evelyn and Olivia! It was such a sweet gift and we had fun doing a mini photo shoot for the girls. They also wore their dresses to the twins' diaper shower last weekend.

I promise these two are super happy and smiley, but man if you thought capturing one baby smiling was hard, try capturing two! I don't know if we will ever synchronize their smiles, but we came close. They both have such a beautiful smile that these pictures so not do justice to the smiles I am blessed to get on a daily basis. :-)

Twins' Diaper Shower!

My friend Lisa threw a wonderful diaper shower for me and our friend Kara, whose little one was born in May just a couple months ahead of the girls. She did a fantastic job hosting! We played games, laughed, and enjoyed her delicious cupcakes!

I think everyone was happy the shower was after the arrival of the three little ones so they could take advantage of holding the babies! :-)

And of course Kara and I got stocked up on diapers and other beautiful clothes and gifts from everyone. These babies go through a lot of diapers so it's great to have a stockpile! :-)
