Santa Clause is Coming to Town!

Well today we ventured to the forbidden mall... David is not so crazy about shopping or crowds, but he didn't want to miss the twins seeing Santa for the first time. So we left early (we tend to be wide awake by 6-7am anyhow - and that is on a GOOD day!)

Amazing at it seems, there was only one or two people in front of us, so he survived, and the kids did very well, short of Bella trying to pull Santa's beard off, which was REAL by the way! We even managed to get some shopping done before it got too busy.

ALSO big news, just in case we didn't already tell you. . . I start my new job Monday!!! I am excited and scared at the same time. I know I will soon miss being home with the kids - seeing all of the little things they learn each day, but it really is best for all of us - at least for awhile.

Thanksgiving went well, we went to Nana's house, and even though I warned her about feeding the kids, she had to try it anyway. Dax did very well with a bite or two of mashed potatoes, Bella on the other hand did not.

She spit them out, Nana tried again, and let's just say she taught Nana not to feed her if she starts to make a funny face!

Dax and Santa - he liked all the attention and seemed to enjoy his first meeting. Let's hope next year goes as well.

Bella really enjoyed her first visit. As you can see she is already trying to tell Santa something... now if only we knew what it was. I think she was trying to get his beard again. He had to hold her hand down to keep it out of his beard and her mouth!

We hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

We will post more photos soon.

Love to All

Dax, Bella David and Lisa (and don't forget Duke!)

Halloween Outfits

We didn't go out for Halloween, so we just had cute outfits this year... Maybe next year we will be able to stay up longer and go to a couple houses... We can't wait!

Dax's says "So Cute it's Scary"
Bella's says "I have Mommy Under My Spell"

Update from The Adkinson's

Well once again it has taken awhile for me to get new photos up. But we have been busy as ever. I am still in the process of looking for a full time job, but have a couple prospects at least! And I have been working on building the Agency business while I am home and able to. I had a great time "Mystery Shopping" for a local builder... And later this week we are shooting a commercial for them.

New photos of the Twins follow, I can't believe they are almost 5 months old! I know it sounds crazy as hard as the end of my pregnancy was, but I almost don't remember being pregnant already...

Enjoy the photos, we can't wait to get our Christmas ones taken - we already have multiple outfits which I am sure shocks all of you!

Lots of Love from Us all!
Dax and Bella enjoy the activity centers at daycare - but they are not as much fun at home, without the other kids to entertain us! We spend time in here while the older babies are playing so they don't tackle us and poke our faces.
Dax was literally "hanginng" out this time... I didn't know how to lower this one but he seemed to enjoy it!

One of our new Twins outfits from Nana - it says "2 times the Diapers, Feedings and Love" We also have0 "Twins are twice as much fun", and of course "If you think I am cute, you should see my twin"

This is of course just the beginning of our Winter Wardrobes. I had a garage sale and sold about 1/2 of the newbrn clothes, and I still have a box to sell. We even sent some to family in Chicago but it just never seems to shrink our supply!
Her first bite of Rice Cereal... not so sure, but add a little sweet potatoes or carrots and she will eat like a champ. Her favorite veggies are peas and squash.
Rice cereal plain is not his favorite, but we have tried all of the veggies and LOVE them all except peas... I really like oatmeal and squash too!
This one is for Auntie April... Maybe she will remember why this is so funny if she thinks back to Mommy and her days of going out... Hint: pinch pinch! She is REALLY getting good at this, she loves to get my neck.
Dax and Boo Bear... He can finally pick him up to play - mostly they like to bite on their toys, but we are making progress!
Doesn't she look like an angel? Bella has turned into a sweet little girl who has been sleeping through the night since she was about 3 1/2 months... Dax is still hit and miss, but again, we are making progress.
