Getting into a routine

Hello everyone and hope you are well. Everyone seems sick these days so take it easy if you can. We recently returned from a great visit to see my folks in Arizona. We had nearly 2 and 1/2 weeks with 'grandma & grandpa Stouse'. The extra hands were great and being outside everyday with the kids was a treat. The Phoenix Zoo was excellent and it gave us some time with just Maddy. Char and I both love zoo's so it was awesome. Click on the title of this post to see the Zoo site. I have also added some zoo pics to my 'Flickr' badge beside this post.

The twins are changing from week to week at this point. Developing personalities and characteristics. I thought I would add a bit of video for this posting just to let everyone see the girls again. I think they look pretty different but they are getting more similar as time goes on.

Have a look and let us know. Zoe is in the 'bumbo' chair and Ava is beside her.

Also - I came across a simple tool for those that want to get email notification of when we update this site. Check out this link. http://www.rssfwd.com/

Greetings from Arizona

Hello all. Sorry for not giving an update earlier. Life has been busy. Christmas came and went. The twins are doing well but not allowing a ton of sleep around our house. They are actually pretty good so I shouldn't complain. As of today (Feb.1) we are spending 2 weeks in Fountain Hills, Arizona with my folks. Getting here was a bit of a nightmare but at least we are here and missing the crappy weather at home. The weather here is not fantastic but not too bad. It is beautiful down here. The desert and the mountains are something to see. Having my folks as an extra set of hands is also great!

The girls still look a bit 'different' from each other but they are getting bigger by the day. Here are a few pictures from the first few days in Arizona. Take care everyone...............
