We love fall!

I had a Saturday with the babies so I decided to tag along with my parents and go visit my little brother in Fort Collins. I love the trees in Fort Collins in the fall they are so breathtakingly beautiful. We had sandwiches from the Pickle Barrel and sat in the Oval. As we were talking the lightest breeze would blow through the trees sending a cascade of golden leaves fluttering down. The image of swirling shimmers of fluttering leaves on such a beautiful day was so peaceful and relaxing.

Our picnic spot
James and Elli both got little coughs this week so we stayed in quite a bit and recovered. Both of the babies are so much more alert and aware. They are starting to really focus on us and smile at us which just melts our hearts.
The Newlyweds, Jeremy's brother Chris and his wife Jennifer, came and stayed with us for a night after they got back from their honeymoon.

Not too happy

We joined the most awesome group it is called Darling Doubles and it is a group for families with twins. We went to the Halloween party on Saturday and had so much fun meeting other families with twins. They have great resources for families of twins and do playdates, monthly meetings, moms night out etc. It has been so fun to make new friends and feel like there are other people who can relate to our new life :)


Later we went to a little pumpkin patch with Grammy and Pop Pop.

Happy Halloween everyone!

Happy One Month

Kinsey took some awesome pictures of the babies for us when they were about 3 weeks old. I wanted to put a couple of them on the blog so everyone could see our little cuties. They are growing so fast!! I want them to stay little and snuggly forever!

Tiny feet
Here is James--he didn't like the flash on the camera so he made some funny faces.

Elliana looking so cute on her blanket. I love this picture!
This picture made me laugh...

Thankfully the weather has been really nice and we have gotten to get out and walk and enjoy the colors.

Elli is a lot bigger than James still but they both are growing and so healthy. We are so thankful for our little ones! More pictures to come...

Happy 2 weeks babies!

Our sweet babies are 2 weeks old today. They seriously change every day!! We had a lot of firsts this past week that I thought I would share...
First time of putting the babies in outfits other than the pj type onesies. We just had to wear the outfits their Great Grandmommy bought them!!
First trip to the grocery store with the babies!!
First doctors visit...it went so well! We have no complaints and are so thankful for healthy babies who are growing so fast!! Ellie is 6 lbs 12 oz and James is 6 lbs!! While at the doctors office Jeremy was attempting to change James diaper on his lap because the office was a little crowded to say the least. In the middle of the diaper change James started to pee as little boys often do. Jeremy thought he had caught it with the diaper but what he didn't realize until too late was that the pee had run out the sides of the diaper and soaked Jeremy's shorts!!! It was one of the many moments we have just had to laugh about!!
Wearing new pj's from Great Grandma in California!! SO Cute and Snuggly!!
And our first hike to see some fall colors. It was a gorgeous day and so nice to be outside in the mountains!!
