Boys Day Out!

Daddy and William had a marvelous "boys day out"!

They went to Logan's first birthday party!

(Logan is Angie and Nick's son! Nick is William's Godfather

and Mike's life long friend! ) Mike said they truly had a

terrific day... playing with new toys and eating super food.

I think this was Mike's way of saying...

I don't cook enough! LOL!

Mike took some excellent pics!

I don't think Logan liked his cake. Poor little guy!

I wonder what Mallory and William will

think of their 1st birthday cake?!?!

Girls Day Out!

Mommy and Mallory had a FUN "girls day out"!

We headed to cousin, Nora's wedding shower! (Nora

will be getting married on March 20th!) We are so excited!

Grandma Margaret and Aunt Fran was at the party too!

We had such a wonderful day together... a little lonely without

brother, William, but all in all... great times!

This is Mallory's friend, Erica. Both Mallory and Erica

were born in the same hospital, one day apart. Erica's

birthday is on the 17th of March. In this picture, they were busy

stealing and sucking on puzzle pieces! What cuties!

1st Ash Wednesday!

11 Months Old!!!!!!!!!!!

It's getting harder and harder to get the babies

to pose in a picture together... Mallory and William

are getting to be too fast! (Gotta love the exercise!)

That's why you see the bumbo's! It's funny really...

Both Mallory and William make us smile until we laugh...

and we just LOVE them to pieces! We are so fortunate

that they are healthy and growing each day!

Mallory and William are doing so much at 11 months.

Mallory and William both:

1. Wave

2. Clap

3. Play "Peek-a-Boo"

4. Blow kisses

5. Play "So Big"

6. Give "Fives"

7. Make great noises with their mouth

8. Say "Ma Ma" and "Da Da"

9. Say "UH-OH" and "Baullllll"

10. Eating more solid foods

11. They LOVE Puffs!

12. They LOVE big kids toys at Daycare!

13. They love hard-back books!

Mallory still does the one-armed army crawl.

She even got a carpet burn on her poor little wrist,

but the doc said all is super. Whew! She is

getting stronger standing against furniture,

but doesn't pull herself up quite yet.

She gets to her knees and then struggles a little.

Once she gets to her feet, she likes to stand on her toes.

Silly little lady!

William offically graduated from the army crawl

to the "big boy" crawl. He pulls himself up on all the furniture

and he will probaby take his first steps this month...

He's pretty close! William likes to be the ring leader...

if he races to open a drawer, Mallory is

usually close by. If William touch something he is not

suppose to, Mallorywill follow and she will also try.

They are super babies, but I can tell

they will probably get into trouble together! Little Stinkers!

1st Valentine's Day!

FUN Times!

Mommy turns 36!

Both Kelly (William's Godmother and Mommy's life

long friend) and I turned 36 this past week! We had

a small and wonderful gathering with family. We also

celebrated Kelly, because, she will be having her 2nd son!

Thomas will be due on February 12th! Yahoo!!!!

We can't wait to meet the Lawler's new bundle of joy!

Below is Kelly with her brother, John.

(He's like my little brother too!)

We call Kelly's mom, Grandma Sue! My mom

and Sue are also best friends! William and Mallory

love Grandma Sue... and of course, Grandma Margaret too!

Her is my mom with William and Kelly's 1st born,

Andrew! Andrew is so excited to be a big brother!

John has just returned from Africa visiting their
youngest brother, Tommy! We sure miss Tommy Bob!
We love getting his letters and postcards. Tommy has
been in Benin, Africa for almost 2 years. We hope he comes
home soon! You should see Tommy's pictures! Amazing!



Here is Daddy with the babies the morning of my birthday...
Daddy, Mallory, and William bought me a beautiful
necklace! (See picture above...)The necklace has the babies'

fingerprints on a silver oval. I actually went with Mike to the store, it
was a bit tricky getting the prints on the wax,

but all good times! Mallory and William have the best time

talking and playing with all the other customers!
