We have been complete blog slackers! Here are several posts with hopefully more to follow.

Super Heroes

We couldn't let Dylan be the only super hero in the house. After several of months looking we finally found a super hero outfit worthy enough for our little girl. Here are some pics of them waiting to save the world and of their flying lessons.

Flying lessons

Easter

This was the kids' 2nd Easter, but it was the first one they were able to participate in our church's Easter Egg Hung. The night before, Todd and I put several plastic eggs around the living room and "taught" Dylan and Kiera how to collect Easter Eggs. Todd had a lot of strategy involved on how to beat all the other kids to the eggs, I will let him explain that, I just wanted them to collect some and not end up playing with rocks or grass. Speaking of which, when we were allowed to start collecting eggs, Kiera discovered all these rocks around a tree and Dylan of course followed along. These rocks were much more exciting than all the candy filled eggs. We eventually got them to go for the eggs again, but it took a while because we were both laughing too hard! Unfortunately I was not able to get any pictures of all the rocks they collected.

Look at all the rocks, forget the candy!

"Yeah, I'm cute!"

Cute family pic!

More Fun Times in Houston!

Along with visiting the Laus in March 2009, the four of us were able to visit with some of Todd's friends from college. First we had lunch at a really cute 50's diner with Sarah, Massy and their sweet little girl Annalisa (love that name). There was a huge mirror in the front of the restuarant where all three kids had a blast dancing while the parents talked.

Not quite sure what Dylan is doing here but it makes for a cute picutre!

"We don't know what this is, but we want some!"

After hanging out at the diner we then stayed over night with Todd's college roommate, Brent and his family. The first time I (Maddy) met them, their twin girls were about 3 months old and I was extremely pregnant with ours. How crazy is that, college roommates each having a set of twins?! Staying with them when were only a couple months from the birth of our twins let us see that we might actually be able to survive what we were headed for.

With this visit their girls had just turned two and again it was really neat to see where we were headed in several more months. Our kids were very tired from all the traveling we did, so we were only able to get a couple pictures, but all four kids had a blast watching and playing with each other.

We were trying for a picture of just the twins, but Dylan and Kiera were not handling any separation from Mama.
