The Twins Turn 4

The twins turned 4 on April 28th and I am finally getting around to posting about it. I feel like I'm seeing them with new eyes lately. They have grown so much in stature and intelligence. They amaze me with their vocabulary and their creativity everyday. They love pretending and telling stories. Meredith loves school and Berkley is more of my free thinker. I wish I had time to really think through all the milestones they are reaching, but I'll let the photos speak for themselves. They had a pirate party which opened with a scavenger hunt that my brother Joey created and introduced. Cousins Hutch and McKinley helped read the clues hidden all throughout the house. Their big gift from grandparents and parents was a playhouse, which you'll see our family photo in front of. We also celebrated with their preschool class on the Friday before their birthday. It's so much fun celebrating with a large group of 4 year olds, they all get so excited for one another and unashamedly shout out the happy birthday song. Priceless memories!

Family Photo Bloopers

So these are pictures of our "real" family. Fun in the chaos and boy was it chaos:)

Family Photo Session

Here are some family session photos we had taken when Elizabeth was around 2 weeks old. Blooper photos to follow. And can I just say, my babies are GORGEOUS!

Sharing Newborn Photos Finally

When Elizabeth was just 6 days old we took her to Peggy Rogerson Photography to capture some sweet newborn photos. I can't believe it's taken me so long to share them, but better late than never. Here are just a few of my favorites. We expected her to be an Easter baby because she was due a week before Easter, that's explains the rabbit hat, for which I'd like to thank my friend Heather Harden for crocheting for us. And I want to thank my friend Sarah Robbins for the precious flower headband you made Elizabeth, it gave the photo something special.  Looking back at these I just can't believe how tiny Elizabeth was.

Welcome Spring

When I first wrote the title of this post I wanted to write welcome summer, but technically it's spring here in eastern NC. The weather continues to jump from 70's one day into the high 80's the next, but I'm not going to complain about it. We welcome the warmer weather and my kids are especially happy because it meant playing in the water hose. I caught some cute pictures and just had to share.
