We posted some new pictures from our everyday summer adventures, around the house and elsewhere. You can see them here.
We did our best to tag the girls correctly. See if you can guess which is which before mousing over the photo to find out. The most correct guesses wins a prize.
With two new little girls in the family, Andrew spends a lot of his time either watching the girls get fed, or watching Catherine pump breastmilk to feed the girls later. Not surprisingly, he doesn’t find anything abnormal about pumping himself. At first he needed Catherine to do the sound effects for him, but he has since learned how to do it on his own.

To celebrate the end of the school year for us, we took a two day trip to Nauvoo and Carthage. It was fun, and the children did a good job not going crazy in the car. Catherine is hopefully going to edit this post some time and provide some of the details of our trip, but for now we have posted some pictures on picasaweb.
We’ve had some fun the last week or so making Zana and Elira laugh. I think that the first time either of them laughed was while watching Andrew do something funny. Andrew is having a lot of fun playing with them, and he makes sure to kiss each one before he goes to bed at night.
Elira’s first time laughing:

I have posted some pictures from Rae’s visit. There may be more added to this album later.
Previously undisclosed pictures of the twin girls here and here. Details: Zana, born Feb 21, 2009, 12:20 pm, 5 lb. 13 oz., 19.5 in. Elira, born Feb 21, 2009, 12:37 pm, 7 lb. 1 oz., 20 in. They are much bigger now.
Catherine here. I’ve decided to give you guys some updates more often on the babies, Andrew and our life in general. Plus I’ve got a ton of entertaining stories on a daily basis, since our life has become much less boring with Zana and Elira coming along. So I’ve put them on my blog. Those of you who are most in-the-know will recognize some of those posts from earlier emails I’ve sent you. I’ll be posting new stuff soon, and hopefully, I’ll be able to post more often than I have before. Enjoy!
I got a little behind on re-encoding and posting videos, so here are some from the last couple of months. It’s a lot of video, but I know there are some people out there who would like to see it… Continue reading ‘Family Videos Catch Up’
We went to our ward Christmas party on Friday night, and thought that Andrew might like meeting Santa Clause for the first time…

Poor guy, must have a fear of bearded people.
Anyway, we have had a busy December so far. I have been Continue reading ‘December Update’
I like Halloween because I get to watch all of the Simpsons Halloween episodes. In the week leading up to Halloween we managed to watch all 18 Treehouse of Horror episodes. It was great.
Besides watching the Simpsons, we celebrated Halloween this year by Continue reading ‘The Cromar Halloween Special 08′
