part of the posse

For those of you who don't know what the posse is, it is a group of guys (including Joe) that were all best friends at the Air Force Academy. On December 4th we were able to hang out with a couple of the guys and their families.

Joe is very proud of this next page. It took him longer then most to get his thesis finished due to circumstances that he had no control over. For instance, his advisor getting deployed for a year, and a "semi-involuntary extension" to stick it to the people in charge of deploying so many of the teachers at AFIT. 

And of course, here are some scrapbook pages of our adventuresome duo.

Notice the difference of the dates on this next page.

Guess that bottom!

This is a picture that we thought was lost. Are amazing girls pushed some buttons on our camera and found it. We thought it was deleted off the camera back in March. The picture was taken out in Colorado. The third bottom belongs to their cousin, Lily, who is a few months older. Her bottom is obvious.



Getting Ready For Christmas!

We are almost ready for Christmas. We have the tree up and even have lights on it. No decorations though. We figured the girls will just pull them down and break them. The ornaments we put on the tree are ones that we have collected during the 6 1/2 years we have been married. Every place we go visit, we get an ornament to remind us of that place. Our tree is usually a hodge podge of different colors and themes. We will put up the stockings on Christmas Eve. If we put them up any sooner, the girls will just pull them down on top of themselves. It is safer this way. Here are a few pages that I just finished. Again, let me know of any mistakes. Thanks to all of you that have told me mistakes in the past.



Where does the time go?

Where in the world does the time go? We have been keeping really busy. I can't believe how long it takes to unpack when you have two little "helpers". When we moved to Ohio, we were unpacked within two weeks. We are not even close to being done and it has been over a month! I have been trying to keep up with the pictures since I want to print out their first year baby book soon. That is going to be my Christmas present to myself.

The girls have had a lot of firsts last week. Bethany figured out the sit'n'spin, they both figured out how to put a peg in it's hole, and they started to hug each other when you tell them to give each other loves. It is really adorable when they get really enthusiastic about it and end up falling down!  Those pictures will come shortly. We are still working on getting a good picture with just the right angle.

Here are the pictures that I have done so far, there are so many to do..... please... please let me know if you see any misspelled words or phrases as I want to print them.
