Fall Adventures

Thursday, October 30, 2008

My favorite season is now finally upon us, although 100 degree weather doesn't exactly bode of autumn. We've already made two batches of gingersnap cookies (no pictures of these, since they are in my belly). Our sunflowers have already come and gone but they were pretty while they lasted.

I was able to attend a Legal Issues in Higher Education conference in Vermont at the beginning of October. The conference was good, but Vermont was amazing. The trees looked as though they were on fire with all of the reds, oranges, and yellows. God must vacation in Vermont in the Fall! It was a memorable trip and valued chance to spend some time with the other great Student Development guys. We were told we visited at the peak of the leaf season. The locals call all of the tourists the "leaf peeps" as they walk around collecting pictures, leaves and memories. I must confess I did my fair share of all of the above. Check out some of the pictures of the trip.



Meet Roger, he is our Jack-O-Lantern for this year, currently protecting our front steps.

Build - A - Bear

Thursday, October 16, 2008



Last week Kevin and I went to Build-A-Bear to "build" animals for the babies. I made a classic teddy bear for the girl. Kevin made a monkey for the boy. I think these are our first gifts for the babies (other than their nursery furniture, which isn't too exciting). It was kind of weird typing the babies' names in as owners of their animals on the animals' birth certificates. We're not telling the babies' names - they are top secret and will be revealed when the babies are born. No one knows except for Kevin and me.

24

Monday, October 6, 2008

Not only is 24 Amber's favorite TV show, it's also how many weeks old the twins are. Today we went to the hospital for another photo shoot with the little ones. They're starting to put on a little bit of weight at 1lb 10 oz and 1lb 11oz. So, without further ado... los ninos.

The girl...

The boy...
