Lay like broccoli

The girls are loving this new stuffed vegetable toy we got the from Ikea. This is our plan to get them to love their veggies :)

I swear we feed her!

How Twins Are Made:

I don't know if you've seen the email forward "How Twins Are Made" but even if you haven't, I think you'll get the idea. Here's our version :)

Funny Faces

We haven't seen a Funny Face series in a while. These are all of Amelia and were all taken within minutes of one another. Some things never change!

Go Joe!

Tuesday the girls attended their first baseball game! Their cousin Joe plays varsity baseball for the high school so we went to cheer him on. Great game Joe!

Footprints

For Mothers Day, Dad put the girls to work. He got all of the materials to make two beautiful masterpieces. Thanks for the very thoughtful gift Dad, I will love it forever :)

Happy Mothers Day

I hope everyone had a great Mothers Day. This was my first official Mothers Day with my girls and I enjoyed every minute of it.

New Beginning

The girls have been busy this week helping Auntie move into her new house. We are so excited for Auntie and are looking forward to creating new memories at her new home.

This picture was taken in March, we are so thankful for spring to be here!

Our first dinner in Aunties house.

9 Month Stats

I can't believe my girls are already 9 months old. They went for their check up yesterday and here are their stats:

Amelia Jane is in the first percentile... still on the charts!
14lbs 15oz
26.5 inches tall

Emma Jane is in the seventh percentile... such a big girl!
15lbs 13oz
27 inches tall

Exercise?

This year I was completely off my rocker when I agreed to do an indoor triathlon after not exercising in eight months. But I am happy to report that Courtney and I both got personal bests for each event! I guess being a slug for the last eight months paid off :)

For those of you who don't know, an indoor triathlon consists of 20 minutes of swimming, 20 minutes of cycling and a 5k run.

Here I am swimming. My fav!

Here's Court doing the backstroke.

The girls "cheered" us on poolside.

Here we are doing the indoor cycling.

And the 5k run!

The girls were awake for this part, Run Mom Run!

Go Auntie Green!!

Yeah, almost done!

Finished!
