Preparing for Baby Kokemor

Today was Ryan's baby shower!  Ryan and I have been friends since high school, and even though she has lived far away since college (Virgina, Boston, and now Baltimore!), we have managed to keep in touch.  Ryan was in Kansas City last winter throwing me a shower, and now it was her turn to be on the receiving end!  Baby K is due January 1st and we are all so excited for him or her to arrive! 

Owen modeling his hat from Ryan, and playing with Sophie!

My camera died right when the shower started, so hopefully I'll get some more pictures to post eventually!

Owen's Bird

It's amazing how much the babies now see and discover each day.  Last night, Owen discovered the bird toy that has been on his car seat for months.  He was fascinated!

The Cider Mill: Year 2

So I looked way back in the 2x2 archive at the original The Cider Mill post.  I really didn't write much, and only posted one picture.  I think in the year we've had this blog up, we are getting a little better at blogging.  I hope you're still enjoying reading it too.

Today we went back to the cider mill, this time with two external children, instead of two feti making Lindsay miserable.  I'd say it went much better this year.  Lindsay and I had a bunch of pancakes, Olivia and Owen just went for the formula as usual.  I had a sweet sweet bottle of root beer and Lindsay snarffed down some doughnuts, because that's what you do at the cider mill.  We looked at a whole bunch of pumpkins, but yet again this year, didn't come home with one.

Aunt Kelsey, Uncle Justin and Lola as well as Mimi and Papa were all along for the trip.  It seemed like they enjoyed the day too.

We saw another couple with the awesome BOB stroller, I kind of nodded and said, "nice stroller."  I'm pretty sure they thought I was crazy.  I also almost made Lola cry when I ate part of her doughnut.  Crazy kid.  Here's the pictures.

Nothing new

It's been a while since we posted, so I figured I'd scribble something down real quick.  I took the babies out for a run for the first time this week.  We have been taking many walks with the great weather lately, but never a run.  They seemed to enjoy the run. It was actually one of the first outings we've been on with no crying, so that was nice.  There is a noticeable weight difference, they must be packing on the pounds.  Anyway, have a great weekend.
