SNOW!!!

A few pictures of us playing in last week's snow...

Our daddy built us a "no-man"

Night snow...

18 Months Old!

We are 1 1/2 and life is really fun. We are little parrots and say anything we hear. Playing with each other just gets more and more fun, though Sadie can kind of be a little bully and loves to take whatever Hollis has.

We spent the morning of our "birthday" at the aquarium with our friend Raya where we walked up to all the tanks and said "Hi Fish"!

Spa Time

Hollis enjoys her "spa time" before going to bed...

WEEEEEEEEE!!!

We went jumping and sliding over the holidays on one cold rainy morning...Hollis jumped in right away, Sadie took a little while to warm up to the idea, but once she did, she had a blast!

Holidays in Birmingham

We went to birmingham for a few days during the holidays - it was so much fun! We celebrated Hannukah/Christmas and Mimi's birthday!


Our great-grammy went on a cruise before permanently moving to Birmingham in December. She bought us back some shirts - Sadie checks hers out...



Hollis receives an important call during the festivities.

Emily and Nikki got HUGE stuffed horses from Mimi and Poppy...we loved them!

This is what we call the "Elmo Zone"

Reading with Poppy!

We had a dance party with Uncle Turner...

...he taught us some cool moves!

Seventeen Months Old

Here we are at Seventeen Months!! What is new with us - we are just full of personality and very happy girls.

A video of us enjoying the leaves falling!

Hannukah 2007

We had a lot of fun during Hannukah, and by the end, defintely knew that a box equaled a new toy! One of our big toys was a riding puppy named "Porter the Puppy". It was really fun when we first got it...the novelty has worn off a bit, but we still love him!

Hannukah with Emily and Nikki!

Mimi's House

Since we didn't see Mimi and Poppy Thanksgiving, we went to visit them the first weekend in December. We had a great time. Sadie learned another new word (her vocabulary just continues to grow and grow) which was "flower".



Hollis tries to make a run for it!

Thanksgiving 2007

We had a fun and busy Thanksgiving Day. We first went to our cousins house, then came home to see Boo and Cece and then headed to Grammy's house. We loved the sweet potato cassorole, but not much else. We have a lot to be thankful for - Sadie is doing great since her surgery, we are both happy and healthy and love our Mommy and Daddy!

16 Months Old

We are having so much fun as toddlers. We are running all over the place, we love to dance and we can talk up a storm. Our favorite toys are balls (all kinds), anything that makes music and of course Elmo, which is also a word both of us can say.

Sadie is doing great post-surgery. Mommy is really looking forward to getting the neck brace off this week, because it is very hard to keep it clean, but it really doesn't bother Sadie. It is hard to tell whether she is holding her head straighter. They told us that it might take a few days for the swelling to go down and her to not be so guarded...so time will have to tell us.

SuperStar Sadie

Well, surgery day is done and Sadie was a superstar just like we would have expected. She didn't get to eat all day and didn't even fuss about it. She was such an angel and really wasn't cranky all day - before, during or after!

Checking in....

Waiting with all the fun toys...

She was away from us for about 1.5 hours, when they brought her back to us they told us they wanted her to nap for about 30 minutes for the anesthsia to wear off...she napped for about 30 minutes on Mommy...

...the 30 minutes on Daddy....

When she got home, Hollis was so excited to see her! It took her a while to "wake up" but once she did there was no stopping her! The collar she is wearing she has to wear for about a week. She doesn't seem bothered by it at all...she has dissolvable stitches under the collar which we haven't even seen. Her she will have a little scar on her neck, but the doctor assured us it wouldn't be too bad.

Hollis had a great day without Sadie, but so so happy when she got home!

Sadie was walking and talking just like normal...no change in this little girl - Thanks Goodness!!

Pre-Surgery Sadie

Sadie had no idea what was going to happen to her the next day...hopefully by tomorrow she won't remember any of it!!

Which Purse Goes Best?

Hey Mom, Which purse goes best with this outfit??? The pink one...


....or the blue one??

Our Chair

We used to take a lot of pictures in this chair before we could sit up. Today after our nap we both climbed in and thought it was fun to sit here together. Look at the picture below - it was almost a year ago to the day...wow, we have really grown up (and boy, do we look cuter with hair!!)

Just so no one is confused, we did change places!!
