Caden and the Calculator

Denied the remote too many times, Caden turns to the calculator for entertainment.  Hmmm, you might be on to something with those numbers.

Mmm… fake food

Everyone loves cooking in the little kitchen and are making creatively delicious meals. Have you ever tried grapes, lemon, and kiwi with a plastic chicken. Mmm... so delicious!

Six Months Home

December 24th brought us to our six-month home anniversary with the twins. It's amazing how fast counting the time fades once they are home. Every month during the wait for them brought wonder about what they were up to, what they were like, how big they were, how this was going to work with Quin, and a general loss of what we were missing each month of their young lives. The unknown and the wait in adoption is one of the more difficult parts.

To have them home is such a great joy!

Scrub a Dub Dub!

The kids all LOVE baths!!!  Just have to be careful how much bubble bath you pour in as they can disappear quickly!

 

 

Merry Christmas

Quin made yummy peanut butter kiss cookies for Santa. And a giant glass of milk. Mmmm.

Fresh Snow for Santa

More snow today for Santa's sleigh! Temps were up to 28 today and Quin had fun playing in the snow.

He came in with rosy cheeks, looking for his hot chocolate in his little silver cup. Quin loves his hot chocolate and doesn't waste a drop :-)

Out Takes

And this is why we leave some pictures to the professionals.

Football, Fun, & Families

We were happy to have the opportunity to participate in supporting the Vikings Children's Fund. The Vikings Children’s Fund is a way for Vikings players, coaches, and staff to focus their time and resources with that of fans in support of the many needs of children in the Upper Midwest. This event was held at Winter Park in Eden Prairie and benefited two local adoption agencies. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for watching the twins so we could take Quin! He had so much fun! Hope Caden's not too upset Q got to meet some cheerleaders ;-)

Meeting Santa

So we decided to traumatize the kids and brought them to meet Santa. Quin was really excited... until he actually met him. Then, not so much. The twins... yeah, no. Santa was not a big hit. We kind of thought that would be the case this year. But the MN Zoo does a geat job of making it an easy place to bring little ones to meet him with kid friendly snacks and activities. It was really easy for Mommy and Dada and we had a lot of fun!

Weiner Dog Onesies!

It is still impossible to get a good picture of all three, let alone just the twins. Here they are in their adorable weiner dog onesies! I better start matching them more before they start insisting on picking their own clothes like Q.
