Birthday Party

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but we have plenty to post today. On Tuesday, it will have been one year since two of the coolest people arrived on this earth. Below is some video from a small birthday party we had yesterday to celebrate.

9 Months Old

Luke and Lane turned 9 months old today. They are really moving and scooting. The video below is of some photos we took outside last week and some video of the kids scooting around and laughing.*

(*Natalie wanted to make sure that I put a disclaimer on this saying that the wooden spoon on the floor in the video was for the kids entertainment purposes only.)

August 2008

August has been a time of more changes... Both Luke and Lane are sitting up, scooting around on their bellies, rocking on their hands and knees and quite captivated with what their voices can do. Laney cut her two bottom center teeth and Luke is still working on his. We have moved into the season when you get nervous when they are quiet for too long, as is illustrated by the photos of Luke matting all the hair on half of Lane's head by chewing on it and the photos of Lane pulling DVD's off of the entertainment center. I know, this is only the beginning...

Summer Trip 2008

Long time no blog. Sorry about that. If it helps, my lawn shows the same neglect.

Luke and Lane have gotten so big. They are having lots of fun and are moving so much they should be crawling soon.

Solid Food & Fun

We have had a busy few weeks. The kids started a little rice cereal in the evenings and are getting a little more active in their tummy and back times. They are starting to pay attention to each other and get each other smiling.

Yesterday, while Natalie was at a conference, I took my first solo trip to the grocery store with both kids. Lane was in the car seat snapped to the grocery cart and Luke was in the snugli on my chest. It went pretty good. No crying or fussing. All they wanted to do was make eye contact with people and smile.

Good Times with Nonni and Poppi

Nonni, Poppi and Aunt Lauren were here this past week. Nonni and Poppi had to head back home yesterday, but Aunt Lauren will be staying with us for awhile longer. Good times were had by all.

You're so vain...

Time with Grandma & Grandpa Franko

Things are changing... Luke and Lane are smiling and interacting with everyone. It so fun and yet kind of sad in some small way. It's just now setting in that we can't rewind except on our videos. Grandma and Grandpa Franko have been here for the past week and we shot some photos today.

Homosassa Springs State Park

Hello friends and family,
We've been enjoying a visit with Luke and Lane's Aunt Nicole, Uncle Brandon and cousin Olivia. Both babies continue to thrive and gain weight...as you'll notice in the photos. Enjoy!

February Fun

I am ashamed of how I used to judge people who's kids had crusty mouths. We clean the kid's faces all the time and it is still there (as is evident on Luke's face in this video). It is like they have some sort of crust gland constantly producing crust around their mouths.

PS- Nonnie enjoy the song.

It's Been Awhile...

...so here is a movie and a slideshow of photos from the past week and a half or so. Luke and Lane are twice the weight as when they were born and doing great. We reached their due date on February 1st and had the open house so everyone could meet them.

Play Mat

We had a blast today playing on the play mat that Nonnie and Poppi gave us. Luke enjoyed his tummy-time while Lane tested the nap-worthiness of the mat. Good times...

My New Favorite Thing...


















This is my new favorite thing. What could be better than having your son and daughter snuggled up and sleeping on your chest. This experience was great, but only lasted for about ten minutes before Luke peed through his diaper and my shirt.

Fat n' Happy

We went to the pediatrician today for the first time. They were given a thumbs up by the doc. Luke weighed in at 5 lbs. 7 oz., and Lane at 4 lbs. 12 oz. That is a whopping 11 oz. and 10 oz. gain in 5 days since release from the hospital. Both babies are continuing to show their personalities, Miss Aware and Awake and Mister Hungry and Sleepy. Below is a fat n' happy video of chill time today with the kids.
