my, how they have grown

Four months old already! Jocelyn weighed 12 lbs 13 oz and measured 24 inches. Julia weighed 13 lbs 2 oz and measured 24 1/2 inches. The doctor was very pleased with all of their smiles and babbling. They are busy little girls! Julia loves to pull her sister's hair (I think she may be a little jealous) and Jocelyn loves to carry on 20 minute, very serious conversations...especially with her dad. Julia seems to be a little more laid back at the moment; whereas Jocelyn has earned her "high maintenance" shirt. :) They are both so sweet!
Melanie resigned from her Nurse Manager position at the hospital. She will continue to work on the units a few days a month. We'll see what the future brings, but for now the girls are just too much fun.
A few of these pictures are a month old, but we just couldn't resist. Enjoy!

we love our books

A special thank you to all of our family for the wonderful books we received at the "book themed baby shower." We enjoy reading them everyday. The girls get so excited--they wave their arms, move their feet, and let out squeals as the pages turn. We'd like to especially thank Aunt Dawn and Grandma Diana for planning the shower and Great Grandma Shirley for hosting it at her house. We had the most amazing afternoon! Thanks again!

Memorial Day 2008

We had the most wonderful trip back to SD and MN! The girls really enjoyed seeing all their relatives. Thank you for such an amazing week!
