Michigan 2008

Another Christmas in July, the babies were a year older and it was very different for mommy and daddy this year! Lots of chasing around! No relaxing by the lake for us this year! Still it was a great time and they did very well for being away from home for a whole week. They only woke up in the middle of the night one time...now getting them back on schedule since we have been home...that is another story! We weren't sure how they would react for the fireworks. If we would be able to watch them down on the beach or have to go up to the house and watch from inside, but they did quite well and only got scared a few times when it got really loud and we were able to stay on the beach the whole time. Lilly even started clapping after one would go off while Asher was proclaiming "all done?!" I think he wanted them to be over! Here are a few pictures of our week in Michigan.

The twins 18 month pics

I have been wanting to get the babies pictures taken professionally since we moved to IN and also, since we have only done that 3 times since they were born! poor things.....I know some mothers that get their babies pics taken professionally every 3 months! Anyway....After putting it off for too long, we needed a cute picture to give as a gift for Brad's mom and dad in Michigan quick! So we just decided to give it a try ourselves and they turned out pretty darn good! So now we will use these as their 18 month pics and make copies for our family and friends! enjoy!!
