No Pain, No Gain

 Darby has started losing teeth. This one fell out on March 23rd.  She is a really brave little girl.

On top of losing teeth she had to go and get a shot and she didn't even flinch.  She surprises me all the time.

And this is just silly picture of my sweet geeger (pronounced gee jer).

Sleep Around Here

We get sleep where we can around here.  I call it a "fluid" sleeping arrangement.  As the kids get older I get a little more flexible about where they sleep but not when they sleep.  Bed time is still bed time. Here is a pic of Darby and Georgia sleeping together.  

Booker T. Reunion

One of my very best friends from high school lives in Oregon and doesn't make it home to T-Town very often but recently she did.  We always have a mini-reunion and we have so many little people among us now.  I was really blessed to go the high school I did make such life-long connections.  

Baby Bea is Here!

My brother and his wife had their baby on February 25th.  She weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 6oz.  I got to spend a whole day at the hospital helping mom and holding baby and it was so nice to get to enjoy a baby that is not my own.  So far she is so laid back and sweet.  Hoping things continue in a positive direction.  

Crazy, Sweet Darby

Darby had crazy dress day at school and this is the outfit that she wore. 

Occasionally bed time is really hard on Darby and she falls asleep where she falls.  

Creativity at its Best

Georgia found a Wal-Mart bag and made a jumper.  She is a very clever and creative little thing, not to mention gorgeous.  All of her front teeth are coming in and they are so straight so far.  Very exciting!

It Snowed!

The girls waited for snow all winter and it never came.  Finally at the end of February we got one day of snow.  I went and picked the kids up from school early and brought them home to play.  They loved it and Mera had never seen snow that she remembered. 

 

Christmas with Nanue and Big Papa

Nanue and Big Papa had a very busy winter and were not able to make it to Tulsa until mid-February.  We saved all of our presents and opening them once they got here.  

 One of the favorite gifts was some foam rollers.  Georgia thinks she is pretty fancy.

 Mera's hair curled well but she was sad in this picture.  Not sure why.

Silly Little Mera

This little turkey can build quite the tower.

We had an un-licensed tattoo parlor last week.  Mera got the brunt of it.

Here she is pretending to be asleep on the trampoline.

And then she thought it might be fun to eat a black marker.   

This is the monkey costume I made for G when she was 9-months -old.  The girls found it and thought it would be fun to put it on the little one.  She wore it all day and even out to dinner that night.  It made me itchy to just look at her.  

The Twins Turn 2

The twins had their second birthday party, a small family event, and we helped celebrate.  They are growing into such fun little girls and Mera is especially smitten with them.  

Analiese

Little Ms. Genevieve

 Mary and some of her grand baby crew:

 Darby fell in love with the trampoline and now we have one of our own!

NYE 2012

We spent our second New Years Eve with our friends the Garringers.  The kids even wanted to watch the same movie they did last year.  Here are the comparison pictures.  

This year:

Last year:

 They are all getting so big!  The two little ones have changed so much.

Omniplex

After Christmas we took the girls to OKC for an overnight and had a blast. We spent the day at the Omniplex and then spent the night in a hotel and went swimming the next morning.  What more could a family want from a vacation.  If you ask Darby about it she will tell you she got to sleep in the same bed as Georgia.
