Merry Christmas!! (well our's wasn't a great one!) :(





























Well it really felt like this was the twins first Christmas, because last Christmas, they were in the hospital still, I came home on x-mas eve and they stayed another week or so. So we were gonna do up Chrismtas right! We were headed to my mom and dad's in Island Park, to see them and for the first time in a long time, spend sometime w/ my brother Kevin, his wife Ashley and their two kids Atlee and Dax. Anyone that knows my mom knows she was going all out, so excited to have all her grandkids together for the first time! Well x-mas eve morning I woke up to another nosebleed, (most of you know I had sinus surgery in Nov. and it has been an ongoing problem) so far I wished I had never done it! :( I was in the hospital the weekend before the twins party and thought when I got out I was in the clear, but I wasn't. So Trav woke up to find me in the sink w/ buckets, he called the neighbors to watch the twins and we headed to Mt. View again, but this time for more surgery! So needless to say my mom came down to watch the twins, and I got to go home late in the afternoon. So we had a little Chritmas morning at our house w/ my mom, before she headed back up to IP. Thanks so much AGAIN mom for making the drive to help us! We really couldn't do anything w/ out you! :) So we managed to take a few pics and presents, the rest is still waiting for us at my mom and dad's. I'm still not feeling well, so Trav's had to pretty much watch the twinners, I'm just glad they really are to little to know what was going on! :) And I'm really gonna have to make it up to them next year!!







Also last Mon. they had their 1 yr. Dr. appt., I can't believe it! Just a little update, little Mia weighed in at 17lbs. (she's so tiny) and 28 in. tall and Luke was 20 1/2 lbs. and 29 in. tall. Luke took a couple steps on his birthday! They are both walking from furniture to furniture and babbling words that I think are "mama" and "dada" and they kinda wave bye-bye! And they are on milk, so no more formula! (oh it's the little things these days that make us moms happy right)! :) I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and we wish all of you a Happy New Year! :)

Happy 1st Birthday Mia & Luke!!





























Well Mia and Luke had a big 1st B-day Bash at Leo's PLace! They've actually had a weekend long B-day, I guess they are like little Rockstars! :) I can't believe they are 1! I looked back at pics this weekend of them this time last year and they were so tiny, they both fit in a Christmas stocking in the NICU. They have sure come along way! They say "mama" and "dada" and Luke waves "bye bye"! They are both standing and thinkin of takin those first steps! They love to wrestle w/ each other and are starting to really enjoy playing w/ each other. Me and Trav are sure lookin forward to no more "formula bottles", and lovin making just "milk bottles"...oh the little things that make us happy these days! :) Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate Mia and Luke's B-day, they had a blast.....well Mia more than Luke, he's not as social in crowds! ;) But it was so nice to see so many friends and family, thanks again! Happy Birthday Mia & Luke, here's to many, many more!!!!
