Big Brother

Asher is the BEST big brother. He is so caring, gentle and sweet with the babies, loves making them laugh and always wants to hold them. I'm so thankful for his help!

5 Months

Can't believe my babies are already 5 months old. Time is going so fast and they are changing so much!
Their temperaments couldn't be more different: Elias - chill, Ireland - high strung
But they are so cute together and starting to notice each other's presence
Things are starting to get fun!

Christmas 2010

Only a month late. Not bad, right? Because an entire Christmas post with explanations and loads of pictures is not going to happen, here are a few pictures to show that we at least celebrated Christmas this year!

Sweet Bubba at the Christmas Eve service
(I was a little concerned he was going to drop the candle and start the church on fire)
Had to get a picture of the babes in their Christmas Eve outfits - Ireland was not a fan of the bonnet (shocker):
Christmas Day before heading over to Grandpa and Grandma Brokke's
Family Pictures - not great but good enough for these days...

4 Months

Better late than never!

Naked Babies

These babes are happiest on their changing table. Stripped down to diapers and free to kick around, they smile, laugh, talk and coo when they're being changed! I'm pretty much up for whatever makes them happy these days...
Besides the fact that they're both white, bald-headed little babies, isn't it crazy how different they look from each other? Elias is all Finzel and Ireland looks so much like my baby pictures and my mom's side of the family!
love it.

3 Months!

Three months old today! Wow. Time really is going by so quickly. They are getting more and more interactive each day--"talking," smiling, cooing, laughing every once in a while. It's starting to be fun, not just work. I'm sure the fact that they're sleeping longer stretches at night helps too.

We were able to squeeze in a quick photo shoot before bed tonight. Please disregard their tired eyes and the red blotches on Elias' face....this was after their bath and they were DONE with our shenanigans.

From the looks of this picture, Ireland looks much larger than Elias but he's actually a bit bigger than her.
Had to put in the token "I'll just sit here and chill while sister screams" photo.
Overwhelmed with thanksgiving and gratefulness for our precious 3-month olds.
