Our Special Day

In preparation for our special day, we picked Grandma and Grandpa B up from the airport Saturday afternoon. :) We are so thankful they were able to fly in to celebrate the weekend with us!

We began our special day with our official entrance into the church.

After a year of learning and growing in our new faith, J and I made our profession of faith in front of the whole congregation.

To make the day even more special, our sweet little angels were baptized too!

Deacon Tom, who has made this journey so special, did the honors of baptizing our little angels for us.

With amazing Godparents too, our sweet little angels are in great hands all the way around! We are so thankful for our amazing family and friends that shared our day with us!!!!

Chen Chen

Little Miss A's class pet Chen Chen the monkey got to spend the weekend with us. With trips all around town, I had to keep checking to make sure that we hadn't lost the beloved class monkey!

Little Miss A was so excited to FINALLY have Chen Chen come home with her and kept trying to come up with new places to take him. CUTE! :)

Weekend with Grandpa N.

Grandpa N. came to Austin for a fun weekend visit.

making pizzas...

With lots of bike riding, playing games, watching movies and playscape fun too, the kids sure had a blast! :)

Little Miss A's New Smile

After looking like Nanny McPhee ALL day yesterday, Little Miss A's gums finally let go of tooth number 4...exactly one week after tooth number 3 fell out! Much like last week, Little Miss A wanted it come out "by itself!" As we were enjoying some ice cream, it fell out and like last time she just calmly announced the arrival. "Look at this..."

She looks so different without those top two baby teeth...sounds different too! :)

Mr. Wigglesworth

Months after Little Miss A had her first wiggle...Mr. D is joining in the fun. We felt his first wiggle this morning. Bottom right front! :) Now that his sister has lost 3, he is so excited to be sharing in the fun!

Another One Bites the Dust

Little Miss A's super wiggly front tooth, finally decided to make it's debut on New Year's day. She was dead set against having it pulled. She announced (very calmly, I might add) that she moved her tooth with her tongue and it just fell in her hand "without even bleeding" which was her big deal with having it pulled in the first place. Her right front was actually wiggly before the left, but the left fell out first. You can tell that her right front won't be far behind. :)

Happy New Year

We rang in the new year with a nice evening at home. The kids crashed early but woke up for the dropping of the ball and new years family "toast".

A & D's New Year Resolutions:

Be nice to each other

Help others

R & R

Since Daddy took some time off for the holidays, we had an amazing opportunity to spend some serious quality family time together. It was so nice to lay low and catch up with each other. For once, the kids truly had our undivided attention. I think they needed that as much as we did. :)
