Busy catching up

I finally have photoshop restored on my computer. I have been busy in my free time (there is not much of that these days) catching up on the girls baby book.

Looking back I realized I still have not scrapped the pictures of the girls in the hospital. So here they are along with a few more recent photos.

Coming soon are there Easter pictures. We already took them and they look so adorable in the dresses their Aunt Michelle bought for them.

St. Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  The girls were dressed all in green trying to avoid being pinched, but they were too cute not to pinch.

While in Colorado, the girls loved to play in their cousins jumperoo. Thank you Lilyanne for sharing!

Here is a picture of my parents with all the grandkids.

As soon as photo shop is uploaded onto my computer again, I will be able to fix up and then post more pictures. While I was in Colorado, Joe picked at my computer.

Withdrawal

I heard it through the grapevine that someone (or a few someones) were going through withdrawal from the twins since it's been so long since our last post.  Well, quite right.  It's been far too long, and I too am in withdrawal since the "3" from our blog name are in Colorado, and I'm the lonely "1" here in Ohio. 

I will say that the girls were fabulous for the flights out to CO.  But once there, the time change and number of bodies around the Jutras home got the better of them, and have put them a little out of sorts.  I was sorry to leave Laurie alone to take care of them (at least at night), but I am grateful for the time to work on my thesis with fewer distractions (no matter how cute they are, they're still a distraction).  That said, offer up some prayers for Laurie - she needs them!

Speaking of my thesis.  Don't wonder why this post is being written after 12:30AM.  I'm just biding my time while my lab computer makes one of those green bars move across the screen towards 100%.

Enough chat, here's pictures.

Naked tummy-time.  Who wouldn't enjoy that?  Well...Melody, I guess.

After the workout on the floor, Melody catches a nap on the sofa while watching one of her favorite soaps: "As the Mobile Turns" or "All My Bottles"

Here she is awake.  This one was too cute to pass up.  The extra huge foot is a little disconcerting.  Doctors assure us the other one will catch up.

"What now, Bethany?!  Who's got her head up high now?"  Addie, if you're reading this, you better comment on Melody's perfect skydiving arch technique.

All that exercise makes Bethany hungry.  She has regularly been finding and snacking on her sister's hand since she has learned to roll to get it.  But like Zoolander, she has yet to figure out how to turn left.

And what better after a snack? A nap. 

This is rapidly becoming one of my favorites.  Bethany always has the most thoughtful stare.

It's like thumb war, with your feet.  Clearly one of them is playing with a handicap.  No idea where the other leg is hiding.

Finally, I know the last post was about snow time, but you need to click on this one and enlarge it to enjoy just how cute their smiles are in this photo.  This is my desktop photo at school.  It should be yours too.  Pass it around to your friends.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that both girls are talking a lot now.  Their oh's and ah's and aloo's and gi's (along with many a raspberry, especially from Bethany) are adorable.
