DAD

Well, I coerced the littles into taking a few decent pictures for their daddy's present, It was like managing triplets - Lexi, Zara and the letters! Supplies were "A" and "D" cardboard letters from Michaels. Remember, you only need one "D" - you can re-use it. Maybe I'm the only one who almost bought two of them... I painted them with some red poster paint I already had. Take the pictures and frame. Voila!

Father's Day

Sunday was technically Mu's second Father's Day, but the girls were just two weeks old last year and we were in preemie-twin survival mode so we didn't do anything special. Well maybe we did, but I can't remember.

This year we still kept it low key, but managed to make it out of the house to Lee Farms with the Loprinzi/Potts crew.

Wow, a lot changes in a year. Here is a pic from the same day last year.

Daddy is the Best

A&Z are the luckiest little girls ever because they have the best daddy!

He is so loving and giving and just loves his girls so much. I hear so many stories of dads (especially those of twins) who have a hard time taking care of babies, but M loves all the time he gets to spend with them and always tells me "they are a piece of cake" and "stay out longer if you want." I couldn't ask for anyone better to take this crazy parenthood roller coaster with!

Happy Father's Day to the best daddy and husband these lucky three girls could ever imagine!

Family Circus

Zoo Trip

On Saturday, the 4th (A&Z's actual birthday) we went to the zoo with Lydia, Michael and Benjamin. We arrived early in the morning and enjoyed the zoo before it was too crowded or hot.

Playing with their present from us - a water table

 After the kids went to bed, we started getting ready for the party the next day.  I started frosting the cakes and put these two to work on the balloons.
