Jeremy and Erica's Family: July 2008

So Erica and the kids have been home for a week now and all I have had to do is work and it has been great! Seeing Anna everyday is such a treat, playing with the twins and actually being there when they get up in the morning all smilin' and stuff and then being able to help feed them and put them to bed is great! Speding time with Erica has been absolutely wonderful as well. It's so nice not having to study when I get up in the morning and then before I go to bed and then all the time inbetween. I've just been soaking up the free time and loving it!

The babies have been weighed again and Izaiah weighs a wopping 12 pounds 15 ounces (for those of you math illiterate people out there, that's one ounce away from 13 pounds). Izabella is gaining on him at 12 pounds 5 ounces. Those are some huge gains compared to where they were when they were born. It's hard to believe that they are growing so fast. If I didn't have this camera I swear I'd miss all the growing changes that seem to be happening daily. They both can roll over and Izaiah actually sleeps on his stomach every night. We decided to put them both in seperate cribs because they like to wake each other up when they sleep together. Especially since they roll over a lot and one of them just doesn't get sleep while the other does. It has been working out nice. They go to bed around 8:30 or 9:00 after their last feeding and sleep until 6:00 or 7:00! We couldn't ask for better babies!

Now Annalise has got some skills with the camera. The pictures below, she took some of them all by herself. I was impressed when I put them on my computer. The little girls got some game let me tell ya. Erica and I might have to buy her a childrens digital camera for Christmas. Who knows, that might be her thing when she gets older...?

Erica starts a job in about 2 weeks so one last vacation for her happened to be starting today. Her parents met up with Erica's grandparents in Ashland, WI to enjoy the lake that her Grandparents live on and do some fishing and enjoy the big 4th of July parade tomorrow. I'm very jealous, but I am working doubles all weekend. Someone's gotta work so the others can play right? No I'm just kidding. But I do wish I could be there. I told Erica to take a bunch of pictures so I'll put up more of their trip after they get back. But for now, here are some more pictures of this past week! Just keep in mind, that all the pictures of just me, our little photographer Annalise took them, enjoy!
