Precious Moments

Such Sweet Love!

I think this batch is one of my favorite of the girls... I love how in most of the pictures their legs/feet seem to be exactly synchronized or alternately synchronized.





Synchronization of the legs
(If you look in the distance, you'll see our neighbor on his lawnmower... his head is shaved, so I think the girls thought it was Daddy and started running in that direction. I had to inform them it wasn't Daddy.)

Oooops... not much synchronization here. LOL.


And Lorelai offers a hand to her sister. AWWWWWWW!

Like Twins They Are!

Aren't they so adorable?!?




Felicity being a daredevil and attempting to step over her brother. ;-)

Mommy, Look!

She was eating an apple and kept saying, "Mommy, look! Mommy, look!"

She is our little clown... not sure where she got this... it's not like we sit around the dinner table playing Do You Like Seafood? LOL. It looks like she has really bad teeth!

Friday Fun

Watching a movie... the little finger twins.





Yeah, this looks like real fun on a Friday!
(Grandma had surgery on her foot - she's in for a nice long recovery)


Uh... ma? You're just gonna let him do this to me?



Keeping his balance... it's cute to see him wobble back and forth.

Not So Little Anymore, Eh?

Miss Piggy

I will be so glad when all of our kids have grown out of the 'messy eating' stage... AND know how to clean up after themselves.

Videos

Hanging out with Shane... some baby puke sneaks in toward the end of the video, so if you're squeamish...maybe cut the last 5 seconds or so.

The Newest Member of the Family

We've been thinking about a dog for quite some time now and finally took the plunge! The girls have shown quite an interest in dogs lately, so we figured the time was right. And to be quite honest, the decision was also precipitated by a string of robberies in our neighborhood (we were victims for the second time in a year!), so we figured it might be nice to have a sort of free 'alarm system' in addition to a household/family companion... So, we ventured to the SPCA with the full intention of adopting a puppy that the girls could grow together with, but policies at the SPCA prohibit adopting puppies to households that have children under the age of 6... that meant we had to change our doggie mind-set from puppy to adult dog. This guy took our breath away the moment we saw him (those eyes!) and his personality was just wonderful. After a few obstacles and a good bit of hoop jumping (you would have thought we were adopting a human baby!), we came home with him just this evening.

Meet Klondike... a three year old German Shepherd/Siberian Husky mix - what a combination!




We didn't intend for him to be a full-on guard dog, but he's impressed us so far - he barked when the pizza guy came to deliver the pizza and he barked when Shane came back from the grocery store. Definitely made us aware of the presence of others outside, which is nice. But aside from alerting us, he hasn't made a peep.

He DOES seem to be quite the cat hunter, so we'll be working with him on his obsession with cats, especially since we just threw down a good $250 on the felines getting them up-to-date with their shots.

He knows how to sit and seems VERY aware of the word 'treat' - his ears perk up and he looks at you like he knows exactly what you mean. It's very obvious this guy was someone's pet, but the only thing we know about him is he was found wandering around downtown Raleigh and wound up at the SPCA.

The name Klondike seems to fit him perfectly - so we're keeping him as he was named at the SPCA. Such a sweet dog. As much as we had our hearts set on a cute, itty-bitty puppy, Klondike has already melted our hearts with his temperament and well-trained demeanor - such a sweet natured dog! Someone must be missing a pet, because I can't see how anyone would let him go.

As an aside, I do hope his gas is temporary, though... he's sleeping in the floor right next to me and is about to gas me out of the office! We might need some gas masks around here. :)
