New Year

So...I haven't written anything in quite a while...Christmas and New Years make time fly fast. Here are a few Christmas time pictures. The girls are getting so big, so fast.

The girls both got sock monkeys for Christmas. As you can see, Elizabeth got a tea set and she loves to play with it. Life would be very boring without the girls...and a lot more quiet. :)

Christmas Pictures

So, I do not profess to be a professional, but here are some of the photos of the girls I tried taking last week. Elizabeth was completely uncooperative. Next time we do pictures, I'm probably going to go to an actual photographer, or get a faster camera. Katara was a ham for the camera and gave me lots of big smiles.

Here they are: my little poptarts...

Still Alive

To start off with, I apologize for the lack of pictures to accompany this entry. No excuse --I just didn't feel like doing it. Today, Elizabeth and Katara went to the doctor --the youngest had a checkup and they both got shots. Elizabeth just had the one flu shot, but Katara needed three immunizations. So, needless to say, I have been quite unpopular here at home today. I have to help hold Elizabeth down for her shots, and Katara was looking at me when she got hers. Sad day.
Katara is growing fast though. She weighs 12 lbs, 11 oz and is 23.5 inches long. She smiles a lot and is starting to coo. Tyrone thinks she's a bit of a momma's girl, but that's only because I'm the chuck wagon around here. :) Elizabeth is a daddy's girl, so it all evens out.
Lately, Elizabeth has had a growth spurt in the language department. She repeats a lot of what we say and now has a new batch of vocabulary with which she may gab my ear off each day. She says: pillow, piano, caper, paper, dink (drink), baper (diaper), no, pease (please), and moo. We need to work on her pronunciation with a few words --like "sit." It's not quite pronounced right and sounds more like a cuss word...
