Alex loves to laugh

Sorry it's been so long since the last post, I've had a lot going on around here. I had to get a part-time job, and I'm training for that currently. One week down, only five more to go! So, yeah, it sucks. Anyway, we caught a great video of Alex tonight (ably assisted by his sister, of course) and I just had to share it. So, here it is -

On vacation

Yes, I know - it HAS been a very, very, VERY long time since the last update. Hey, cut me some slack - having twins is really tough!! We are all currently in Kiawah Island, South Carolina on vacation. And, let me tell you this... driving that far? With 15 month old twins? Really SUCKS - with a big ol' capital S. They didn't enjoy the long drive at all. And we even split it up into two days to try and make it more manageable - I am NOT looking forward to the return trip. But, anyway, tomorrow I'll have some special pictures to upload - the twins at the beach! Yeah, a REAL honest to goodness BEACH!! But that's tomorrow. For now, you'll have to tide yourselves over with these pictures we took last month at the Columbus Zoo. They had a pretty good time - enjoy!


We're at the zoo!


"Huh? Where are we, Alex?"


Mara didn't like the noise these monkeys made...


"I'm a dragon. DRAGON. I don't do that tongue thing!"

"What's a penguin?"


"Water is better than penguins, Daddy"


"Oooh! Straw!!!"

Alright, Meegan? Now - get off my back!!!!

Aqua-Twins

A little something different today - the twins have been taking swimming lessons, and so we decided to take them to the pool today. My Mom and step-dad came along, and were kind enough to take a few pictures for us (Thanks!!!) So, without further ado -


Alex likes the water


He likes to try to catch it


He'll try like this forever, if you let him


The whole family
