Our lil' witch!

Little Ella in her witch hat.

Happy Halloween!

Today we went to our 2 month Dr. appt. Nate is now a whooping 11lbs, 5oz and Ella is weighing in at 8lbs 10oz. Both are doing great and have almost doubled their birth weights! We also got our first round of vaccines today. :( This is what Nate has to say about that.

Shopping with Lila

Here is our friend Lila pushing the twins through JCrew. Yes, I am back to my regular trips to UVillage. You'll find us there!

A visit from Grandpa T. and more October pics ...

Grandpa T. recently made the drive from Spokane to get some quality Nate-and-Ella time:



While sporting the "Baby Coug" onesie he got from Grandpa T., Nate contemplates Washington State's 69-0 loss to USC:


Many of the Seattle U. baby boom participants attended a Halloween party on Oct. 25, including Chris, Lilly, Althea, Kian, Megan, Elliott, Karin, Ella and Nate:

Halloween Time

Dave and I LOVE Halloween. Hopefully our kids will too! Here they are in the Halloween PJs Aunt Karen got them.

Play date

Last week Nate and Ella had a great time playing with their friend Lilly O'Claire. Lilly is five months older and was very excited to sit in Dave's big Man Chair with the twins.

A few fun pics from recent days ...

Karin took this ... I think I'll have to get a print and a frame for my desk!


Here we see Ella reacting to Nate's latest joke. Nate takes after his father, who takes after his father ...


Daddy time:


Is it just me, or does this look like the back of a '70s British rock album cover?

A visit with Aunt Jayne, Aunt Karen, Uncle Ron and Cousin Jess

Things got a little hectic this past week, so I'm a bit late with these. But here are a few pictures from a recent visit!

Jayne meets Ella:

Membership has it's benefits

Seattle has quite the twins community. Dave and I have joined NSFOM (North Seattle Families of Multiples) and are looking forward to meeting new people and their families. Today one of the members came over with a complete homemade meal for Dave and I - so nice not to have to worry about dinner tonight! Later this month we are going to a NSFOM Halloween party. (Do note this party starts at 10:00am on a Saturday...this is our new life!)
I have got myself convinced Dave Matthews is a member of NSFOM. After all, he lives in North Seattle and has twins! We'll see if he shows up at the Halloween party (or on my doorstep with a casserole!)
