Doctor Visit

We had our 4 month check up today. Glade and Addison are both doing great. Glade weighed in at 14 pounds 8 ounces and is 24 inches long. Addison weighs 12 pounds 4 ounces and is 22 inches long. They got shots today too, and they both did really well. Of course they cried, but once they settled down they were back to their smiling happy selfs!

Here we are before the shots!

Here we are after the shots. Who looks worse, the parents or the kids?

The night the lights went out

Last night was truly an adventure. Glade, Addison and I along with Grammy and Pappy came home from Austin. We got home just in time for a huge storm. This huge storm caused our power to go out. So, I called the number to report an outage. The nice lady on the phone said they would work on it and hopefully get it back on by 9:00 pm. It was then 5:30. So, we opened the windows and the screen door, lit some candles and waited. We decided to go enjoy the power and air at On the Border for dinner. We got home and...still no power. 9:00 came and went. At 10:30 I called again, this time a not so nice lady on the phone wouldn't tell me anything. Tim and I walked to end of the street to see if they were working on it. NO THEY WEREN'T! We prepared for what looked to be a long night. We got the babies to sleep by holding them in the car so they were cool. Once asleep, we put them in their beds. Addison, poor thing, was miserable. So at 2:30, Tim went and sat with her in the Tahoe. By that time it felt like it was 100 degrees in our house with no breeze at all. Everyone in the house was awake, frustrated that TXU couldn't get it fixed. Well, everyone but Glade. That little boy slept right through it. Until we all decided to go outside and sit in the car, with the air! We got both babies back to sleep, put the seat down and laid them on their blankets just in time for the power to come back on at about 4:00! So, we went back inside and now had two very awake babies! They got a bottle and were drowsy but neither one of them wanted to go to sleep. So Grammy took Addison, Pappy took Glade and Tim and I went to bed! We slept so good once the house cooled down to a nice frigid 74 degrees! We slept good until Scarlet, our dog, started barking. Tim looked out the window to see my dad outside with the dogs. Tim thought they were out there playing...so we went back to bed. Only to get up and hear that we had a water moccasin snake! Our two dogs had cornered it. Luckily the snake was in some wire fence and couldn't really get to the dogs or my story might include a trip to the vets office. The snake at last we know slithered under our storage building.
Needless to say we are all tired and ready for a calm and relaxing evening tonight!

Here they are in the Tahoe...wide awake at 3 in the morning!

Playing at Grammy and Pappy's House

Here we are playing with Pappy on his bed. Glade had the biggest smile and was talking away to his Pappy!

Glade and Addison have both discovered their hands and now have started to hold things.

Here they are playing with one of their toys!

We love bathtime!

Here is Glade after a bath. He used to scream when he got a bath. Now he loves it!

This is Addison after a bath. She doesn't get as thrilled about bath time as Glade, but it does calm her down in the evenings.

Our First Trip

Well, we made it on our first LONG car trip. On July 4 we drove to Wimberley, TX to visit my parents. Glade and Addison did really good. They only got fussy the last 30 minutes of the 4 hour trip.

Here we are in Pappy's chair!

Since we been here they have met their great grandparents and their great uncle Robert.



This is Grandaddy and Granny who is holding Addison.









Glade and Addison also had lots of time to smile and play with their cousins Dylan, Drew and McKenna. Before the 3 cousins got here, they were calling dibs on who got to hold Glade and Addison first! They sure love these babies!
We enjoyed lots of good food and fun with family the last few days. Tim had to go back home today so he could preach tomorrow. It was really hard for us to tell him bye. My mom and dad will bring me and the babies home on Wednesday. I hope Timmy can stand to be away from us that long!

I made a slide show!

This took me awhile. I had lots of fun though. I hope you enjoy it!

Ready for the Fourth

Addison and Glade are ready for the Fourth of July. We got them matching outfits to show their patriotism. All the ladies at church thought they were so cute in their outfits.

We had a busy day today. Grandma and Grandpa came over after church for lunch. They stayed until Glade and Addison went down for their nap.

This week are going to Grammy and Pappy's house in Wimberley. They are so excited to get to see the babies again. Hopefully the traffic won't be too bad.
