Just in case...

Just in case anyone was worried, we are still alive. The boys are doing very well, high-maintenance, whiney, 16 months old, high-maintenance, talking, running, exploring, sucking the life out of their parents, but "well" over all.


Its been over 3 months since the last post for a reason - fortunately, not for anything significant or tragic, just for the simple fact that Ethan and Shawn were placed on earth to make a lot of people very, very happy, but also to test their parents. Perhaps God did not overlook the fact that Kristi was a giant brat growing up, or Andy was a very self-centered, arrogant teenager - our beautiful and merciful Lord and Savior has wrapped those vendettas into two cute, 24 lb. packages.

Ethan - 16 months



Shawn 16 Months

They are getting very big - Here is Ethan with Jenna

Shawn and Uncle Adam

Both boys love to read and draw. Shawn is the quiet worker - he will sit and tinker with something by himself or just sit and draw for a while...

Ethan on the other hand, lets just say he is his own play-by-play announcer. he is a chatter box, when he is in the crib, walking around, eating, reading, etc. the boys could not be more opposite.

They still love to play with each other - here is a weekly wrestling match - ethan is the bully:




We went to the zoo the other day, the boys had a lot of fun... too bad everything was identified as a "car" - but at least they growled when they saw the zebras..? The giraffes were too strange to illicit anything more than this look:






Just a reminder to everyone that Kristi somehow keeps it together through it all - through the whining, the fighting, the sleepless nights, the long work days, the non-relaxing weekends, even the 5am wakeup calls (ETHAN!!!) andy, on the other hand, is about ready to run away with the dog - twins are a lot of work. I love ya babe - you make adorable, high-maintenance babies...
